I cant find my old CC thread but might aswell start a new one. First up I want to know if you guys are interest in this one?

Anyway this weekend we see the return of our Bokke for the first in many years. Jake White always pulled the Bokke from this level of rugby and myself think its a big mistake on his part. You need your heroes to play and I am pretty sure you Aus lot will agree with me that if the players dont play this time of the year it sure take them more time to get battle sharp once you hit the NH. Think if the provincial coaches manage the week in week out players better they can work around this player burn out kak.

This summary for the weekend from SA Rugby.com
Eighteen Boks back in CC
Eighteen Springboks that were part of the record-breaking Vodacom Tri-Nations victory over Australia will feature in one way or another this weekend as the Absa Currie Cup semifinal race nears fever-pitch.

Only Adi Jacobs (Sharks), Jongi Nokwe (Vodacom FS Cheetahs), Butch James and Percy Montgomery (Vodacom Western Province) are not in action this weekend as national attention turns firmly onto the Absa Currie Cup.

Jacobs is being rested after a bruising Tri-Nations campaign, Nokwe picked up an ankle injury whilst scoring his fourth try against the Wallabies, James does not play domestically in South Africa at the moment and Montgomery has a stomach ailment.

The rest, however, are all available, with Vodacom Western Province slotting all their first-choice players straight back into the mix; giving them no fewer than 11 Springboks in their starting line-up.

But, even with the wealth of players at their disposal, Vodacom WP coach Allister Coetzee is not even contemplating certain victory against the defending champions, the Vodacom Free State Cheetahs, when the two teams meet at Vodacom Park on Saturday at 3pm.

?It might look good on paper, but we all know that games are not won on paper,? said Coetzee after announcing the WP team on Wednesday. ?This team hasn?t played together as a combination for some time now; it?s not just a case of pitching up and winning.?

Making WP?s challenge that much tougher is the fact that the FS Cheetahs have not lost an Absa Currie Cup match in Bloemfontein since 2006 ? when they went down 24-12 to the Vodacom Blue Bulls on August 5. Plus, the Cheetahs have also been boosted by the return of skipper Juan Smith and hooker Adriaan Strauss to their playing ranks.

?That home record is something we pride ourselves on and it?s an honour the players intend on protecting for as long as possible,? Vodacom FS Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske told www.sarugby.coza this week.

?Teams like WP and the Bulls are always hard to beat away from home and we certainly owe them something after losing away to them during the first round of fixtures,? added the man who was recently crowned as the Absa Currie Cup Coach of the Month for August.

The mass Bok injection into the Absa Currie Cup does not end with the Cheetahs-WP match, with the top-of-the-table Sharks v Vodacom Blue Bulls clash in Durban on Saturday (kick-off 5.05pm) also looking like a proverbial ?Who?s Who of Springbok rugby?.

The Sharks can once again consider the likes of Odwa Ndungane, Frans Steyn, Ruan Pienaar, Jannie du Plessis, Beast Mtawarira and Bismarck du Plessis for selection, but also making a welcome return to the side is skipper Johann Muller, who has been injured for some time.

The Bulls, meanwhile, have fit-again IRB World Player of the Year Bryan Habana back in the mix, along with current Bok captain Victor Matfield, hardman Danie Rossouw, No.8 Pierre Spies and scrumhalf Fourie du Preez.

With first place on the log up for grabs once again, neither side will be lacking in motivation ? but the Sharks will feel they owe the Bulls one after their 35-14 loss at Loftus earlier in the season.

?It is definitely make or break in terms of securing home finals and semi-finals,? said Sharks centre Brad Barritt on www.sharksrugby.co.za. ?We really need to win the games heading up to the semis, for us, the aim is to win every game from hereon in, if we can do that, we would have achieved our target. Looking at these two weeks, it?s two big teams, big rugby days, and we?re looking forward to the challenge.?

With all the talk of returning Springbok players this weekend, the Xerox Lions continue to go about their business without any current Boks in their selection equation.

After a poor start to the 2008 Absa Currie Cup season, which saw them lose two successive matches, the Johannesburg-based side got their season back on track 35-23 home win over the Valke in early July. They have produced some impressive results since then ? including an away win over the Blue Bulls ? and now find themselves back where it all started with a fixture against the Valke, albeit away from home, on Friday night.

?We have spent the week training hard and will be ready and prepared for Friday night,? said a confident Lions coach Eugene Eloff.

?We are in a strong semifinal position and will be taking each game as it comes and will certainly be putting our all into each game. The focus is on each individual game at the moment, and on winning each game.?

The Lions could potentially shut the door on WP?s semifinal prospects should they beat the Valke ? especially if WP lose to the Cheetahs ? but there is a battle of a different type for the Wildeklawer Griquas and the Boland Cavaliers when they meet in Kimberley on Saturday.

The last fixture between these two teams produced a hard-fought 9-9 draw in Wellington, but this time around victory is non-negotiable as Griquas (sixth place on the log) and Boland (eighth) look to avoid that dreaded relegation match at the end of the season.

However, Boland were dealt a bitter blow this week with the news that flyhalf Isma-eel Dollie would miss the rest of the season with a groin injury, along with lock Frikkie Spies, who has a shoulder problem.

?It is really tough when your group of players is not that big. But I suppose it is something the so-called ?smaller unions? have to live with,? Boland coach Deon Davids lamented, before also revealing that hooker Clemen Lewis (knee) and wing Danwell Demas (shoulder) would miss Saturday?s crucial clash.

Injury worries aside for Boland, Griquas will be on a high after their 59-19 trouncing of the dangerous Valke a fortnight ago and they have the added motivation of possibly even leap-frogging Western Province into fifth place on the log, should the Capetonians lose in Bloemfontein.

Speaking ahead of his team?s clash with Boland, Griquas coach Dawie Theron revealed a rather simple tactical approach on the official Griquas website: ?Deny the opposition the ball and you can command the game.?

Absa Currie Cup facts of the week:

- Internationally-respected whistleman Jonathan Kaplan is the most-capped Absa Currie Cup referee of all time, having already refereed 117 matches. Andre Watson ? the current head of SA Referees ? is in second place, having officiated in 100 Absa Currie Cup games.

- Centre Piet van Zyl is back in the Boland Cavaliers team this week, in his 138th match for the Wellington-based union. He needs just two more appearances to equal Jannie Coetzee?s record as the most-capped Bolander of all time.

- The last time the Xerox Lions played in an Absa Currie Cup match (two weeks ago against the Vodacom FS Cheetahs), flyhalf Earl Rose scored 18 points; made up of one try, two conversions, two penalties and one drop-goal ? giving him the first full-house of points score in this competition since Derick Hougaard achieved that feat against the Wildeklawer Griquas on September 1, 2007.

WP is in a pretty hopeless place on the logs and need to win everything to stay in touch. They can only catch the Lions and the last two rounds will be critical. The Lions face the Sharks at home and WP on Newlands and WP 9 points adrift.

You talking about the Cheetah vs WP & Guppies vs Brutes two. Sure they will be crackers. Cant understand Pumtree not picking Beast & Bismarck for the brute match. The scars they can receive from the Brute lot or leave to the brutes one he is just bloody stupid. My own tipping for the round is Lions by 16, WeePee by 12, Griekwas by 9 & Brutes by 11.

Re: CC Rugby

WP winning 35-17 and getting that bonus point in the final minute from a Jean intercept try. Schalk getting red after a yellow but WP show their intention. 19 year olds Ebersohn and Pietersen had crackers. Pietersen scoring 2 tries for the Cheetahs.

Guppies busy to beat the Brutes 17-10

Re: CC Rugby

So the Brutes lose this one BUT Meisiekind made a complete joke of Francois Steyn. :nta: Enjoyed Matfield banana biltong kick to the Twin for that second Meisiekind try a lot.

WP (Stormers in there traditional strip) still just in it but if they can go all the way and maybe sneak in the play offs they will be hard to stop.

Amazing if you go a year back to see the way Bekker has grow. Also good to see 19 year olds like Pietersen, Ebersohn, JC Kritizinger making the CC stepup.

Will be good to see some team lineups. Hey Paarl, the two Smith boys (JP and Ruaan) are doing well for the GPS club in Brissy. JP was selected in the Brisbane rep side the other day. Both making a mark in club rugby.

Thanks Lance, how far are they away from a S15 contract? Their replacements Malherherbe and Ginga did quite well in the Stormers jersey.

Paarl are you up for a thread that discusses 2012 Super Rugby squads.

We can start it off with "Why the Stormers will never win the Super 15 with Rassie and Co in charge" :)

No seriously, I'd be keen to get an idea what the squads may look like.

I'll start it with the Bulls.

Its pretty difficult at this moment OuBoet. We dunno which ones will retire or go north. I'll try and give some idea of the CC teams. Struggle to get the squads (senior, U21/U19s) out and will update this thread as we go along.

To start off this 49 players may feature not much in CC rugby.

Was that the 13 point win sandwiched between two losses, one being in the RSA a week after the record win? Or were they talking about matches of earlier years? If so, had they forgotten Loftus in 1998?

That wasn't sponsored by Vodacom? As you were then.
