    @W32 you lot take it far in our past political history. I lived a few years in Riebeek Kasteel. The hometown of Smuts, Malan and Piet Spiere and his grandson PSdT.

    @mohikamo same, same.

    @W32 my ou Ouma was not a Smuts. She was just a young girl, like a lot of other young boer children, who was placed in a concentration camp.

    Chose Smuts as a handle because it’s a nickname we used to give guys who bitched and moaned. Can’t remember why we used Smuts for whingers. But it works:

    “Fucking porridge for breakfast again? Aah man, it’s cold and lumpy.” “Shut up Smuts.”

    “Fucking one eyed ref screwed us again.” “Fuck off Smuts - you blew a three man overlap.”

    “It’s colder than a witch’s tit. I’m freezing my ballas af.”

    “Shut up Smuts, you wanted to go skiing.”

    Seemed fitting as a South African joining a kiwi forum.

    @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.

    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'.

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

    Vrou = Mrs.

    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:

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

    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.
