RUGBY, CAPE TOWN AND WHATEVER ELSE

Back On Track! Stormers vs Highlanders 33-0 BANG!

Francois Louw — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:30:17 +0000

I know it’s old news and sorry I didn’t get on it earlier but I’ve been sick in bed the last couple of days. Bombed out on Sunday morning and was MAN DOWN till yesterday morning, trust me. Hence my delay in this post. But enough of feeling sorry for myself, which is a little nice every now and then… Ha!

Brian Habonus point!

After our disappointing performance last week against the Brumbies we really needed to pick things up a little and, as you know, that’s exactly what the boys did! It all started with a good weeks training and focusing on the things we could change. Like i said previously, last week we didn’t play to our strengths and that’s what cost us the game.

Scoring tries has also been a bit of a problem for us. Winning each match is obviously the first priority but in the end it often comes down to bonus points and points difference. Which we’ve been victim to numerous times in the past I might add… So to score 33 points, get 4 tries, get the bonus point and give them nothing is exactly what we needed at this time.

Currently we are still the top defensive side in the Super 14, with only 2 tries being scored against us. Something that we pride ourselves on and hope to keep it that way. However, there are still a lot of games left and defence alone isn’t going to win us the competition.

All in all, a good weekend for us!

Where you going bro?

So we’ve got the Hurricanes this weekend and need to carry through this momentum! Hope to see you all there.

The Wandering Fever

Robo-Ert — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:09:44 +0000

Great win for Flo and the stormers this weekend. It takes a lot to stop a team such as the Highlanders from scoring a single point in a game. I was glad to see Habana continuing with his electrifying maneuvers and running in a great try at the end of the game.

Whilst cruising around the interweb this morning I managed to stumble upon a very inspiring video clip which I want to share with everyone. I know a lot of you will have heard something about this guy as he has been all over the show recently.

The Wandering Fever is a documentary about Ultra Athlete Ryan Sandes a.k.a “Hedgie”. I’m going to leave it up to the trailer to do all the explaining.

As we are everything Cape Town, we wish Ryan (Hout Bay) best of luck for the rest of the competitions to come.

Ram’dFest 2010

Ok it took me four days to recover but I can honestly say that Ramfest is one event not to be missed in the future.

Robo-Ert & Jack Parrow ‘gooi’ing’ a little Havana Club and Coke

The mainstage was shown some pretty impressive competition this year from the Electro tent and the Havana Club Voodoo Beach party. There is nothing wrong with a couple of Havana Club Especial and cokes by the water with the likes of Jack Parow and Haezer.

Here are some pics of what went down:

Stormers vs Higlanders

Francois Louw — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:00:58 +0000

Okay so now I’m over my 4 day depression! Lets not talk too much about last weekend. We absolutely ‘mared’ it! Looking back at the video earlier this week, we can really see the opportunities we had and how it just came down to finishing off. Anyway, sometimes you need a wake up and hopefully that was it.

So we’ve got the Highlanders on Saturday at Newlands. The Southern boys are a hard bunch so it should be a good physical battle up front. We obviously have to make up for last week and it is also a necessity to perform at home. It was a solid week at training but just ‘helluva’ hot, again!

Hope to see you all on Saturday evening. Kick-off 5 bells!

Summer Savings…

Robo-Ert — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:18:37 +0000

Make sure you don’t miss out on Bonafide’s summer sale this thursday. See details below.

RAMFEST – VOODOO ISLAND

Robo-Ert — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:07:38 +0000

Pretty much the same time Frankie Louw will be strapping up for the big encounter with the Brumbies ( in italics as this word is always pronounced with an accent), Robo-ert will be heading off to the fourth installment of SA’s number one alternative music festival – RAMFEST 2010.

The magic behind Dawid Fourie’s (owner /organizer) festival is that he always makes sure that the music genres are of a wide variety and are all at the top of their games. UK’s Pendulum will be headlining along side names like Jack Parow, Fokofpolisiekar, Kidofdoom, haezer and CT’s Bruce Willis.

For those of you looking for something different at the actual event, come down to the Havana Club / Vice Voodoo Island for an afternoon of abnormality. Click on picture for the full story….

Voodoo Beach party

So watch this space for a complete report back of what went down.

As Always Good luck to Flo Louw and the rest of the crew as they take on the Brumbies. Good to see Matty T back at Newlands even though he is the opposition jersey. Matt if you reading this…What’s your Vibe?
