Hoekom praat jy nie so bietjie rugby nie? Of dalk krieket, want die Proteas van Faf du Plessis het Bangladesj in Potch behoorlik met ’n sege van 333 lopies verniel,” wil Sporie Bezuidenhou skoorsoekerig weet. “Julle moet ’n wyer belangstelling as net rugby hê, Sporie. Dalk weet jy nie eens dat die Amerikaanse gholfspan die Res van die Wêreld-span (uitgesonder Europese spelers) in Jersey City in die Presidentsbeker-kompetisie met 19-11 afgeransel het nie. Nogtans het die drie Suid-Afrikaners, Louis Oosthuizen (2.5 punte), Branden Grace (2 punte) en Charl Schwartzel (1 punt) uitstekend teen topspelers soos Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Ricky Fowler, Matt Kucher en Patrick Reed-hulle gevaar,” probeer Botterbul walgooi. Dit is puur verniet, want Oom Sjert, Stywelip Carrington en Bontie Bonthuys wil net rugby gesels. “Manne, ek is nie meer op moedverloor se vlakte nie. Die Toyota Cheetahs het hul derde agtereenvolgende sege in die nuwe Pro14-reeks hier in die Rosestad teen die Walliese Ospreys behaal en ek glo dat hulle Vrydag ook die Glasgow Warriors van Skotland ore in Bloemfontein kan aansit. Ongelukkig het die Vrystaat- Cheetahs 59-24 teen Griekwas in die Curriebeker-reeks vasgeval, maar hulle verbeter met elke wedstryd en kan Vrydag hul man teen die Blou Bulle staan. “Daarby het ek hoop vir die Springbokke. Die gelykopuitslag van 27-elk teen die Wallabies vertel nie die hele verhaal nie. Ons Bokke kon gewen het. Hulle het kanse gehad, maar die fi nale afronding, die regte besluitneming, ontbreek nog. Eben Etzebeth en sy manne gaan nie weer Saterdag met 57 punte op Nuweland teen die All Blacks verloor nie,” lug Oom Sjert sy mening. “Ek wil nie sê die Bokke kan die All Blacks klop nie, maar as ons die probleem in die vaste skrums kan oplos, gaan ons span die Nieu-Seelanders harde bene laat kou. “En wat sê julle van die WP wat nou tweede op die puntelys in die Curriebeker-reeks is nadat hulle die Blou Bulle 46-45 geklop het? Ek weet dit was naelskraap, maar ’n wen is ’n wen,” praat Bontie saam. “Die Curriebeker word interessant en hoewel die Haaie die toon aangee, sal hulle moet verbeter as hulle die gesogte Goue Beker wil verower. MANGAUNG OVAL, “Ek het ook hoop vir die Bokke, maar dan sal daar vinnig plan aan die vaskopkant van die skrum gemaak moet word. Ons bloed bly egter groen en ek glo julle gaan Saterdag vierkantig agter die Bokke BLOEMFONTEIN staan!” moedig Stywelip die manne aan. En wonder bo wonder is daar eensgesindheid.
