bugger, i like swanepoel.
Happy he's got a gig though :-)
Didn't the ARU give us grief because he played in the NPC, so they were saying he was ineligible?
he was ineligible due to residency, he was considered a International Development player and we didn't want to waste that valuable spot on him given only the year before he was a "normal" player.
But them rules always only apply to the Force - same as announcing contracts before ratification
The long sobs of autumn's violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor
My eyeballs popped out when i read this. once again we get ripped.
Out of curiosity, what does Swanepoep mean in Afrikaans...what is a swane?
swane is just that.. no meaning, just part of his name... however poep has a couple of closely related meanings, depending on the nature of the conversation..
it could mean someone who has done something silly.. or
it could mean that he is a rear orifice not worthy of conversation

I thought the ARU have only advised that the squad #s are only 30 next year... are bumb ies special to have 5 more ?? or does this also include the EPS players as well ??

Is there is actually confirmation that the Force were told he would occupy a development player spot? Can any one confirm if development players in your EPS squad count towards your development player spot?
If the Force have been screwed I would ask for a big please explain form the ARU if I was management.
