Why use AI when you have actual fans?

@Smuts Sappe vs Natte. Way back in the past. My broer het verongeluk by Kloovenburg. Vrou het gewerk by die Kelders , Piet Spiere was die voorsitter en het saam my broer gedien op die rugbyklub. Good old days.

Bloody hell, I just about understood that. Must be longterm Oom-mosis.

@nostrildamus love to read your translation.

My brother had a --don't know what this is but sounds bad -- at Kloovenburg (is by a preposition or a village?). Not sure 'Vrou' is my Frau? Worked with Piet Spiere (who was a boss?) at my brother's rugby club?

Those 3 words got me confused, but am I roughly on target? Oh, don't know 'gedian'.

[OomPB]

@nostrildamus not bad. Kloovenburg is the family farm of Piet Spiere, grand dad of PSdT. Kloovenburg.com

Vrou = Mrs.

Porthen to make Bok debut as Erasmus sticks with tested combinations against Japan

Former Junior Springbok captain Zachary Porthen will make his Springbok debut against Japan at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday as Bok coach Rassie Erasmus named a largely settled match-23 for the opening match of the November Internationals.

The Springboks must play more games in London than any other city these days.

Ticket sales must be disappointing for the Springboks to have to do this:

[MiketheSnow]

It’s a nothing fixture

Not the one to be played on neutral territory

[OomPB]

SFM is building a new record. 2 tries already before HT

[sparky]

Maybe the Boks should play more games in their own country?

[OomPB]

AE changed into a flanker.

[OomPB]

@sparky we struggled for ages to win away from home.

[OomPB]

and we have so many chicken runners all over the world, so it's all home games.

It finished 61-7 to South Africa.

Only 22,000 turned up. If it had to happen in England, Vicarage Road in Watford or the Madejski Stadium in Reading would have been better venues for this game.

Makes a lot of sense have a game in the uk as a warm up for the other matches to come. Players already there from last weekends urc games and pounds instead of rands. As for the venue, maybe but do we know what all the details are?

[sparky]

@W32 To be fair, both the venues I mentioned had soccer games this afternoon.

[OomPB]

Wilco Louw had his best game. Bit worried about Ox. Viking, SMZ, Wilco and KLA should start against the French.

Ox Nche is out of the rest of the Springboks European tour:
