When did Stander said that stupid? I have never seen such a statement made by Stander to that effect and wonder whether it is another issue you found out from nothing.
The midyear tests normally was in June and he NEVER said he was available for the Lions. series anyway, A total diversion again from facts and that remains a fact.
So is White also a liar?
Nothing new from the bloody idiotic liar.
The July Tests, also known as the summer Tests or mid-year Tests, are international rugby union matches played around the month of July each year. They include traditional summer tours by European nations to countries in the southern hemisphere, North America or Japan, as well as shorter international trips and one-off test matches. They follow the end of the domestic rugby season for northern hemisphere countries. In 2012, the International Rugby Board (IRB) introduced a three-weekend window in June during which players are required to be released by their clubs for international matches. From 2020 due to changes to the World Rugbyinternational calendar, the window will be moved to July.
The British & Irish Lions squad will be named on Thursday afternoon and could include a few players that would be returning to their homeland for the series. CJ Stander may not be finished his Test rugby career yet.
"I remember I spoke to him a couple of months ago, and he said he’d even drive the bus for them around South Africa so he could be on the tour. To me, he’s a legend. I worked with him, when he was a junior, at the Bulls. If there’s a player that deserves a send-off, it’s probably him."
Stander has already played his final game for Ireland, so it is either the Lions for a Test rugby farewell or that England win, back in March, to look back on fondly.
Do not be surprised, though, if Stander is not in the initial squad but called up at some stage. He will be back in South Africa this summer regardless, and his ability to play across the back-row could see him feature as a ready-to-rock replacement.
Crushed!
I cannot help you here - since your imagination has taken over and you have no proof that Stander after terminating his contract his contract with Munster at the end of June 2021 could play any professional rugby and that includes the Lions tour in July 2021 and that includes the Lions Tout..
Fact is that Stander himself informed Jake White that it would have jeopardize a fund he contributed to and would pay him a pension for the rest of his life.. Then you claim that Munster could extend the contract to cover the period pf the Lions tour - which would have been from their perspective fruitless expenditure since he would not play a single match for the club- but there is no evidence at all that Stander wanted such an extension.
You in your normal way try and prove something which did not exist and have no proof that it in fact was actually true. But then it is normal for you to make wild statements on sire and that is why I cannot help you in this case as well.. The quote the above is also in the same vein. If he did not qualify because of the lack of a professional contract whatever he does afterwards is his private business and has nothing to do with playing professional rugby at all. The problem with you has to do with petty hatred of some players and obviously also Erasmus and because they prove you wrong constantly you dream up things to belittle them/ It make you look like a fool/
Hard for it to be my imagination when I’m directly quoting rugby experts and people close to Stampkar…..crushed like the stupid government lackey you are.
Since when is rugby journalists experts? Also a strange contradiction as to believe experts, You always disregard the opinions of experts when they differ from your idiotic approach - apparently created the idea that what journalists are your newly0crateed group of experts.
Sorry - but you are talking KAK.
By the way Klaasen - the player you want to replace De Kock , failed badly in both T20I\s played thus far in the Windies.
It’s not an opinion you Old Tart. When a player says he’s available through the mid year tests, it’s a fact. Clearly Stampkar was leaving the door open to play for the Lions…..Schplotttttttsky for the umpteenth time.
I don't know why a debate on cricket turns into a "debate" on rugby.
I also don't know whether Kyle Verryenne is a Dud, neither does anyone else, time will tell, but what I do know is that if a 2 Test Rookie is dropped from a team then the world of cricket would sadly never have seen the likes of 2 Test failures like ....
Steve Waugh - 13/5/8/0
Matt Hayden - 15/5/5/0
and our own
Jacques Kallis - 1/7/6
Oh gosh perhaps we should make a rule to prevent that. What punishment do you think is appropriate?
