Sharks - Bulls Final

With Luke “Dickhead” Watson (sorry ladies) and the SA "Idiots” Sports Council South African rugby has been in the spot light for the wrong reasons. But fortunately the ANC and the South African government has told the sports council to get lost with their idiotic idea of having the springbok removed and replace with a flower.

It is the only sporting emblem that has won not one but two world cups. What has the soccer or cricket flower pretty boys done? Nothing!

As for Watson, the only reason he got to play test rugby was because of his dad and his political past. Hence the politicians forced the South African selectors to pick Watson to wear the coveted green and gold with South Africa’s national animal the Springbuck on it. A jersey and emblem that any true South African rugby player and supporter would kill to play for!

This article just proves what a Pratt he is and if this article did not go out to so many different people there would be $%#@ and %$#(*)& and &^%* words use to describe him.

"Me having to wear the Springbok jersey, to keep myself from vomiting on it, because there is a bigger picture, because men and women have bled for me to get there. (They died for him to play for the Springboks!)

"Did I ever want to be there? No, it's never been my dream, but I chose this burden with the greatest of pride and satisfaction, knowing that my father Cheeky Watson laid down his life to get me there." (So his dad died for him to play rugby, he went in front of SAFU and they shot him so that Luke would get picked)

Luke Watson go and take your jersey and stick where the sun don’t shine. Don’t bother stepping out on a rugby field and don’t ever put on the Springbok jersey again. You are a looser and a disgrace.

If you think you are a great player think again. Every loose forward that player in the semi finals and the Currie Cup B section final have got ten times the talent that you have. Go away now and disappear.

So after all that crap, there was rugby that had to be played this weekend. On Friday night the Northern Free State Griffons won the B section final by beating the Leopards 31-26 in Olen Park. The half time score was 19-13 in the Griffons and although the home side put in a huge effort in the second half the Griffons where just too strong to clinch the title.

The Semi Finals where a given with which teams were going to go through to the finals. Free Statewhere never going to have the firepower to stop the Bulls at Loftus. The Bulls ran in three tries to one in the 31-19 victory.

At the Shark tank the game was done and dusted by half time with the Sharks going into the brake 26-7. The second half was never going to live up to the first. The Lions tried hard to get back in the game, but the defence of the Sharks was just too much and the only way the Lions could score was off a lucky bounce off the crossbar to score in the dying seconds of the game.

The final next week, will be a build up on trash talk, rugby scribes in the know telling the public of what the strengths and weakness of each team will be. How will Jonathan Kaplan handle spoiling tactics of the Bulls of the Sharks over exuberance of the Sharks defence and flirtation of the off side line.

The bottom line is there is going to be 80 minutes of tough rugby and according to a rugby insider we might be having extra time. I hope not don’t think I could handle that. A very dear friend of mine asked to be quoted on his score so Donny here you go 27-17 to the Sharks.

Fernando Alonso pulled off a double today with a superb win in Japan. Hamilton did not end with any points after a penalty due to driver’s infraction (again) alone with Massa, although Massadid manage a single championship point. Kubica driving for BMW came second with Kimi coming in third. With McLaren scoring no points Ferrari has increased its lead to seven points. Hamilton has a five point lead over Massa. Next race is next week in China.

Congratulations to Charl Schwartzel on winning his third European title in Madridtoday. He won the first ever Madrid Masters by three strokes. Rory Sabbatini shot a seven under par third round to take a one shot lead in the Valero Texan Open. Zack Johnston is his closest challenger and hopefully Rory can make it a double for South Africa this weekend.

On the soccer scene Bafana Bafana finally won a game by beating Equatorial Guinea 0-1 in Malabo. England beat the mighty Kazakhstan 5-1 at Wembley, France drew 2-2 in Romania, Germany beat Russia 2-1, Italy drew 0-0 with Bulgaria and Scotland drew 0-0 with Norway.

Super Sport announced the death this morning of Afrikaans Rugby commentator Chris Moller (I stand corrected on the spelling). He was killed in a head of collision this morning driving to the airport in Durban. Condolences to his family and friends. Rugby has lost a son and is a richer game for the input that you gave it. May you rest in peace.

Until next week. Take care and enjoy the sport. I will have update of the Indian cricket tour and results of the first test along with more on the Luke I am a little cry baby saga.

Cheers

Think beyond the horizon and you will find success!
