[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 773110, member: 40658"] But there was an article about Frans Steyn going to Montpellier in August. It's not like it was being kept a secret. There were a bunch of articles, especially on Sport24 about the big Springbok exodus yet again to the NH. Frans' name was one that was repeatedly mentioned. As for Chiliboy, I would take him back in a heartbeat for the Bulls. He is still a better hooker than Callie Visagie and Bandise Maku, and only Strauss will occupy that spot ahead of him. I think it's a very good move by the Sharks, It also means that he's back in contention for a Springbok call up, and Hooker seems to be an area where we need some challenges for the top spot. I also don't get why he is now all of a sudden a cheat. He's most certainly not the only SA rugby player that has used steroids, but he is the only one that was caught. I think most top Rugby players at some stage has used sports enhancing drugs to assist some way or another. But that is another topic which has been discussed at length, and I don't want to derail this thread. I was rather surprised at the Sharks squad, there are a lot of new guys I haven't heard of or seen much of. I'm glad they got Ruan Botha from the Stormers, he's a real up-and-coming lock and he wouldn't get as much game time at the Stormers with their new wonder pair of PSDT and Etzebeth. I'm looking forward at the coming weeks to see what all the teams are doing, and what their squads will look like. [/QUOTE]
