[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 423664, member: 64443"] I echoe the sentiments of you guys, the fact that so many players are away is a big drawback for supporters here, with at least 3/4 of people not giving a jobby about the CC until the Tri-Nations is over and then all of a sudden go ZOMG!?! Y r wE nOT ToP of da lOG!?! SAcK Da ShARkS! DiE resERVes R shite!?! However I love the Bokless part of the CC, you tend to see only the 'hardcore' supporters at the grounds, and most of them are quiet knowledgeable and don't boo the ref/ opposition kickers (much, hehe) And I also love watching the young players stepping up from the under 21s and Youth Academy, and the satisfaction of saying: Yeah, I watched that guy when he was at school/ playing club rugby. The element of the unkown, the close games where a debutant can put on a star performance and change the result, all the fustration during the games, only to watch the highlites and say: Meh, we weren't so bad, at we know player X can do this, player Y can work on this and yadda yadda You also tend to see a lot more passion from the younger players, like Marcell Coetzee's try against the Bulls in week 1 (however I am no fan of swan dives, he must get that out of his system). As well as players like Craig Burden being given more freedom in looser games. As for this week, if you managed to see the highlites of the Pumas game, you would have seen that Michalak had a hamstring injury, and several other players face late fitness tests like Joubert (nose), but apart from those two the management are optimistic on players passing Oh, and if there ever was a video definition of torrential rain, it will involve Durban this week. It has just been constant downpours... Even waterpolo practices are being cancelled! So the game against the Cheetahs will more than likely be played on a wet field, and in 'cold' weather ( personally I don't mind the rain, I like seeing other people being miserable for a change :p ) [/QUOTE]
