In particular:
"White, not surprisingly, received strong backing from South Africa's
1995 World Cup winning captain Francois Pienaar, whose son, Ruan, is a
halfback in the squad and could replace the injured Bulls star du
Preez against the Wallabies."
You guys short a couple of proof-readers over there?

LOL. Poor old Gysie, gazumped by a more famous Pienaar. Anyway, I'm sure
Ruan's father is rather more divine, the way this lad is performing.

This reminds me of the Springboks vs All Blacks Test a fortnight ago. That
droning commentator continually got the All Black names wrong... How fucking
hard is it to memorise 15 names? It's not like the All Blacks are a bunch of
unknowns? Says a lot about your psyche, you know, one eye and all.
Francois Pienaar would have also had to have been a dad at 17 for that
to happen although possible but not likely - that should have got the
journalist thinking though.
You also have to wonder if Henry Honiball was a part-time milkman as a
student in the Pienaar neighbourhood back in 1983. <g>

Honiball, dob: 1st Dec 1965
Ruan Pienaar, dob: 10th Mar 1984, birthplace: Bloemfontein.
Honiball was a student in Bloemfontein, and could have been a student
there around June 1983, if he was young in his school peer group -- most
students born in 1965 would have been first year in 1984. And if he
didn't to do National Service first, before going to university.
Speakong of Honiball, he's the nicest profesional rugby player I've
ever rubbed shoulders (sort of) with. We must have lived in the same
neighborhood (PMB) in 1997, since I frequently saw him had the
convenience store. Always greeted with a smiling "Howzit".
Ran into AJ Venter and Albert van der Berg at Kings Park as well.
They did'nt say "Howzit"...

It's hard to read those names with an eyepatch on, you know...
Jolly (Arrrrrrrrrrr)
The Australian is usually better than this. But then South Africa only
has the seven surnames, so it does get a bit confusing.

Good wank?
I thought it would be *less* confusing with only seven to manage...
But then again, if you only have one braincell, it's sure to cause a
buffer overflow...

Imagine a South Africa sevens game against Wales:
Pienaar, van der Merwe, du Preez, du Pleissis, de Villiers, Roux and van
Zyl v Williams, Thomas, Jones, Evans, Davies, Llewellyn and Price.

Some might consider that siring future Springboks *is* National Service.
