Al song wat sedert gisteraand in my kop ronddraai is Liefling! Nee, ek is nie gehipnotiseer of  in ‘n Kampstaaldraad gat waar die lied oor en oor gespeel word nie. Nog minder is ek in Pretoria of is ek nou ‘n BlouBul/Derek Hougaard ondersteuner! Dit is ook nie asgevolg van al die Hunters Extremes of Kaapse wyn nie.

Ek was gisteraand saam met ‘n pragtige dame fliek toe. Liefling, ‘n afrikaanse ‘musical’, was verfrissend en iets buite die ‘boks’ vir afrikaans en ek moet bieg dit het nogal goed afgegaan. Behalwe dat dit ‘n groot rip-off is van die suksesvolle Glee TV-reeks, was ek beindruk dat hul 24 afrikaanse liedere gebruik het in die storieverhaal! Nog beter, is dat hul dit so bietjie meer hup gegee het met vandag se ritmes.

Die fliek het weerens vir my net beklemtoon dat SA van die mooistes jong dames het. Lika Berning, is doodeenvoudig pragtig. So natuurlik mooi. Bobby van Jaarsveld, kan sing en kan eendag die rol van ‘Meisiekind’ speel indien die Bulle ‘n fliek maak.

Wat ook indrukwekkend van Liefling is; die feit dat anders as die meeste afrikaanse flieks, waar seks, vloek en komedie die hoofbestandele is, is Liefling die tipe fliek wat jy jou ma toe kan saamvat.

Het jul al Liefling gesien?

Indien wel, wat het jul gedink?

Ek sien Stoute Boude begin vandag en ek is seker dit gaan ‘n reuse geldsukses wees. Ek dink nie dit is die tipe fliek wat ek my gisteraand se ‘date’ na gaan neem nie!

PS: my Moeksie was gisteraand my date!

Cape Town, the ‘mother’ of all cities!

With the awesome Table Mountain and new stadium, it only needs two other things! (OK, including me, three then!)

The Currie Cup and Super 15 trophy! All in good time!

Province die Currie Cup kom weer…!

Raise you glass to Cape Town!

Luke Watson, the white Mandela, is coming back! He will come to build up EP rugby and get them ready to replace the useless Lions or Cheetahs, for Superrugby 2012.

Even more, he’ll be here in time to be selected as the Bok’s openside for the holy grail! Schalk is not a fetcher, Stegman CC-level, Flo in the bad books and Brussow had a ‘Gavin magic Johnson’ season!

Wait there is more! Luke will be ready to lead the Springboks in 2012! Happy days are just around the corner!

Imagine the Bok’s loose trio of 6: Watson 7: Alberts en 8: Vermeulen!  Eish, bring on the world!

Maybe this is Snor de Villiers’ master stroke and his ‘blueprint’ for the WCup! And then you thought the latter was a clown and puppet!

PS: Hunters Extreme R22.50! Still a bargain when consumed at Blue Peter. That view of Table Mountain is priceless!

PS: Did I mention that my flight was delayed on JHB? No, not because of some technical issue. They couldn’t find the pilot!

TIA, this is Africa!

Did someone mention that Richie McCaw is the toughest and even the best player of ‘all time’ this week? O, yes, it was me!

New Zealand captain Richie McCaw on Wednesday became the first player to win the International Rugby Board (IRB) player of the year award for the third time.

All Blacks head coach Graham Henry won a record fourth coach of the year award and New Zealand were named as the team of the year for the fourth time in six years.

The poll I ran last week had  bloggers, typical SA biased supporters, as Matfield the most deserving. Time to wake up South Africans and Bulls supporters. Other countries can also deliver sporting greats!

PS: Good to see some BLOGGERS actually took their blinkers off and vote for Richie MccAWESOME!

It’s time! Yes, D-day has arrived. I’m coming ‘home’ and will be back on Republic ground Saturday afternoon. I’m a Bok for sports so tell me what’s happening in Africa!

I need some advice on ‘what to do’ in the Cape Town area during December and January.

5^th Dec: Blue Peter

11 and 15^th Dec: weddings

12^th Dec: Duran Duran (CANCELLED? Damn!)

2nd Jan: India vs SA at Newlands

Visits to Stellenbosch wine yards, La Med on a Sunday afternoon, going to a Skallabrak gig and a possible road trip to Knynsa, are always on the cards. I, however, would appreciate your ideas on what to do when in Cape Town.

Clubs, bars and other entertainment worthwhile experiencing?

If you are in the Cape area, come and have a long cold one at ‘Blou Piet’ (Blue Peter) Sunday afternoon

What time do they show the Boks vs Baabaas in SA?

I have to get a connecting flight in JHB Sat afternoon and it would be brilliant if I can watch the game at the airport before I go to the ‘mother of all Cities’!

Is there tougher and better than Richie McCaw?

I don’t think so.

Many regard Gareth Edwards as the best rugby union player ever! I’m one of  them, however, MccAWESOME is a close second.

He is surely the toughest player ever? See how quickly he recovers from Andy Powell’s cheap shot on Saturday!

MccAWESOME would be the first player I pick for any World Team?

Do you agree?

Who would be your first player you pick?

Bokke sal moet besef dat dit gaan nou oor die eer van die Springbok op jou bors. Maak nie saak of die ondersteuners saam stem oor die keuses van die afrigter nie, daai Bok beteken jy is die deel van die elite rugbykorps van Suid Afrika. Gaan dit genoeg wees vir die jongelinge om die ster belaaide Baabaas te klop?

Die Baabaas se oorspronklike ‘tradisie’ van net opdaag en jol het ietwat verander. Ja, hul sal verseker meer avontuurlustig wees met tye en baie meer kalm wees as die jong Bokkies, maar wen het nou ook vir hul belangrik geword. Om die Wereldkampioen te klop, maak nie saak in watter trui jy speel nie, bly nogsteeds besonders.

Matt Giteau sal die Baabaas aanvoer. Gits het alreeds in 2007 oorwinning vs die Bokke geproe.

Anton van Zyl (die enigste Saner in die Baabaa-span), sal oorgehaal wees om vir Snor en kie te bewys dat Alistair Hargreaves ‘n papslang is. Moet ook nie die Nick Mallet factor vergeet nie.

Barbarians: James O’Connor (Australia), Joe Rococoko (New Zealand), Ma’a Nonu (New Zealand), Adam Ashley-Cooper (Australia), Drew Mitchell (Australia), Matt Giteau (Australia), Will Genia (Australia); Salvatore Perugini (Italy), Stephen Moore (Australia), Neemia Tialata (New Zealand), Anton van Zyl (Stormers), Chris Jack (New Zealand), Rodney So’oialo (New Zealand), Martyn Williams (Wales), Colin Bourke (Chiefs).

Replacements: Keven Mealamu (New Zealand), John Yapp (Wales), Quintin Geldenhuys (Italy), Daniel Braid (New Zealand), Andy Ellis (New Zealand), Stephen Donald (New Zealand), Seru Rabini (Fiji).

BAABAAS met 10!

PS: Andries Strauss’ call up for the Baabaa game cheapens Bok colours again. Strauss had a brilliant CC-final, but Currie Cup is not the measuring stick anymore. Meyer Bosman, Jaco Pretorius or Wylan Murray could have be options for just one game.
