Back door success and look-a-likes...

WP Rugby Union, who´s senior side is a weekend away from failing to make the semi-finals of the countries premier rugby competition, (premier because it is the only one) have launched an all out offensive to try sneak their woeful team of arrogant 6-down specialists into the semi-finals. And yes, they are trying to sneak them through the back door.

Province had the chance to look in at a semi last week but failed to get a bonus point 4th try. Now they have a shot so mathematical Pythagorus couldn´t work it out so have made an application to SARU to dock the Cheetahs the 5 points they earned on the weekend, for an illegal use of a player.


Hennie Daniller played for the Cheetahs on Friday night and then for the Griffons on saturday when they beat the SWD Eagles in the First Division. The loser Eagles have also complained.

The two unions content that this is an abuse of the loan system in which Currie Cup (Premier Division) teams can make available players to First Division teams.

Strangely, SARU rules actually specifically state the two competitions are totally separate entities and both Unions are within the law with what they did regarding Daniller.

What I love is that the law is so black and white - admittedly possibly in need of change - but still very clear, yet WP STILL try and chance their luck and sneak into the semis through the backdoor. Slimey fuckers...

It reeks of sour grapes. I love a bad loser...


Moving along...


It appears Heath Ledger and Hayden Christensen have taken up rugby. Okay, wait Ledger is dead, so it must be the joker. Either way it is fairly bizarre!

Both were contending for the English number 10 jersey for the November tests. Actually the Joker just dislocated a shoulder and is out for ages, whereas funnily enough Young Ankin is just coming back after a lengthy injury lay off to claim the jersey. Jokes on you pal...
