The big talk in SA Rugby today was the unveiling of the new Bok coach, Heyneke Meyer. But that was about as much of a mystery as Barry Ronge’s sexual preference, the real kicker was in fact that the Kings will play Super Rugby next year.
The who ?
Now I’m a bit confused by all of this and find it very cheeky of SARU to just blurt it out there with absolutely no plans for how this is going to happen. Naturally for the Southern Kings or the Kings, or Cheeky Watson’s son’s XV (whatever they want to call themselves) to play, one of the established top flight unions has to sit out. Can I get a bullshit ! The Mighty Elephants aren’t even in the bloody Currie Cup and haven’t even been able to win the second division in the past two years!
Over the holidays I discovered the awesomeness which is Tosh.O. My new favourite TV show hosted by my new favourite comedian @DanielTosh. Now if you haven’t seen the show before, then it’s just one of the most guytastic shows out there full of funny clips from the internet, bits like the one you are about to watch, and an ongoing commentary made up of ultra sharp comedy which brings it all to life. Here Tosh takes a punch from Manny Pacquiao.
Heyneke Meyer. With all the mystery of a FIFA presidential election, SA Rugby’s worst kept secret gets revealed today to the SA public. After months of speculation over who would get the job from 4-year care taker coach P Divvy, Meyer has become the last man standing.
Hey Heyneke, we're ready for you now.
The natural and deserved successor to Jake White four years ago until SARU went affirmative on his ass, Meyer takes charge at an interesting cross roads in Springbok rugby. Let’s have a look then at what his first year in charge holds.
Growing up in school, nicknames could quite simply make or break you. Don’t believe me, just ask a fat or ginger kid. Though not quite as drastic when you head into professional sports, they still hold significance to an individual, and we are about to see, some are better than others.
Biff - ya, not the best...
Now before we get started I am certainly not attempting to make this a comprehensive list by any stretch of the imagination, but more just a meaningful overview to start the banter.
