So the Poll results are in and you have voted Pienaar to take over at 12 for the Boks in de Villiers absence. Would this be a good move? Well the end of year tour may be a good opportunity for some testing.
With du Preez the incumbent and M. Steyn looking having a dream season, there has to be place for Pienaar. He certainly has the talent, but can't be messed around. Let's hope that one of the most talented players in SA rugby doesn't get lost in translation!
Comments welcome!

Achilles, Nomads & Currie Cup
OK, hi everyone. Sorry I've not posted anything in a while. I'm sure you've missed my postings...no? OK, well I'm gonna continue anyway!
OK, main reason for lack of postings is lack of Rugby involvement by myself. This is mainly due to me snapping my Achilles tendon three games into the season and being in a cast. You'd have thought I'd have more time to write about rugby. Anyway, the Achilles rupture is in all likelihood a 12month to full recovery process. Needless to say my season is over. At least there is tour to look forward to! Being a non-playing traveller might be a good move.
The Nomads in my (and our meat gobbling Captain's) absence have continued the unbeaten trend and have looked good so far. We have had one or two tough opposition but have pulled through with real character, the rugby has also been testing at times. Let's hope we can have the perfect season!
The Currie Cup semi-finals were played this past Saturday and while my team, the Sharks, were surprisingly beaten by the Cheetahs, the Semi's proved what a good state SA Rugby is in. Both games were 2 point affairs and could've gone either way. With 3rd and 4th placed teams on the log making the Finals, SA undoubtedly have a wealth of talent in their ranks.
Anyway, I will be sure to make amends for my lack of postings.
P.s. Come on Cheetahs!
