COACH'S CORNER

Die kontrakgroep is tans met die afseisoenprogram besig. Baie aandag word aan krag en kondisionering gegee. Die groep breek op Dinsdag 13 Desember en keer terug op 4 Januarie 2012. Die spelers kry ‘n intensiewe oefenprogram wat hulle op hulle eie volg tydens die reses en word evalueer op 4 en 5 Januarie. Die voorseisoenprogram neem in aanvang op 8 Januarie en die eerste oefenwedstryd is op 16 Januarie teen die Madibas op Outeniqua Park.

Ek het baie vertroue in die groep. Die groep het vanjaar diepte en bestaan uit 34 spelers (teenoor die 22 van verlede seisoen). Die eesrte Vodacomwedstryd is op 10 Maart teen die Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. Die span word onder die leiding van die Vodacomafrigter, Eddie Myners, gebrei en daar word met groot verwagting uitgesien na ‘n goeie Vodacom en curriebekerseisoene. Die voormalige Springbokrugbyspelers, Anton Leonard en Bevin Fortuin, is onderskeidelik die voorspeler- en agterspelerafrigter van die groep en waardevolle insette word reeds deur hulle gelewer.

ARENDE BO TEEN BLOU BULLE

Die Arende het Saterdag n uitstekende oorwinning behaal teen die Blou Bulle in Pretoria, deur die wedstryd met 25 punte teenoor 23 te wen. Die Arende, wat halftyd 10 - 20 agtergeloop het, het gewen danksy die wendrie wat in die laaste sekondes gedruk is deur Brood van der Westhuizen.
Die Arende se verdediging was in die tweede helfte rotsvas en die Bulle kon slegs 3 punte in die helfte aanteken.
Vir die Arende het Howard Noble 2 driee gedruk en Brood van der Westhuizen 1. Raynor Bekker het 2 strafdoele behaal en 2 doelskoppe.
Hierdie oorwinning beteken dat die jong Arende span met groot vertroue kan uitsien na die Curriebeker reeks.

BOKSMART

There has been some speculation regarding ‘enforcing’ the BokSmart licensing in games in SA. More specifically on the issue that it should not be a referee’s problem to check Boksmart certification. I have been in contact with Dr Wayne Viljoen and we agree on the matter. For clarity purposes, I will address the modus operandi as follows: Please refer to the Boksmart regulations. Some amendments have been proposed for clarity purposes and are currently in process for review to ratification after which it will be sent out.

· Clause 3 specifies that any person coaching a team in SA, should be BokSmart licensed.

· Clause 4 specifies that any person refereeing match should be BokSmart licensed.

· Clauses 6 & 7 specifies that a match should be abandoned if any coach or Referee or AR cannot provide proof of the BokSmart certification.

Coaches are to present proof of their BokSmart certification to the referee at least 15 minutes before kick-off – earlier is fine, or else the game is not started and even abandoned.

Gentlemen and ladies, I am aware that some will say that we are loading too much on the referee and I do not disagree with that altogether. However, we cannot play rugby in SA unless the regulations of BokSmart are met – in fact, it is law!

AS A REFEREE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO START A MATCH WITHOUT THE MINIMUM MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL, LIKE WISE HENCEFORTH, PLEASE INSTRUCT ALL YOUR REFEREES NOT TO START A MATCH UNLESS PROOF OF BOKSMART CERTIFICATION IS PROVIDED BY COACHES. ALSO, PLEASE ENSURE YOU ONLY APPOINT REFEREES THAT ARE BOKSMART CERTIFIED WITH A VALID LICENSE!

Please ensure that this message reaches all referees, clubs and schools through your various channels of communication.


kind regards/beste groete,

Andre Watson

ARENDE vs LIONS

Die Arende het die afgelope Vrydagaand op Outeniqua Park met 14 punte teenoor 37 verloor teen die Lions. Die telling vlei die Lions egter, wat ten minste 3 sagte driee gedruk het. Die Arende se jong span het baie goeie rekenskap van hulself gegee teen n Lions span wat 11 spelers bevat het wat al op Super Rugby vlak gespeel het.
Die toewyding van die Arende teen die sterk Lions span was n riem onder die hart en hierdie span van afrigter Johan Lerm gaan nog diep spore trap in Suid Afrikaanse rugbykringe.
