[QUOTE="unrated, post: 903612, member: 45773"] So Chiliboy Ralepelle is the first confirmed player picked for the June Internationals. He hasn't really played much at all this year. In Fact he is clearly third choice at the Sharks this year in terms of playing time. Sharks head coach says the only reason that he was left out of the Sharks team traveling to Argentina is because he is going to play for the Springboks this June. Does anyone buy that excuse from Du Preez? I mean if they are going to "rest" him because he is going to play for the Springboks then why not also do it for the other Springboks in the Sharks team such as the du Preez twins or Beast? They have played almost non stop and if anyone needs a rest it would be them? If anything Chiliboy needs some game time. I think the real reasoning is that Robert du Preez can't afford to play our third best hooker in such a crucial match so he uses the convenient excuse that Chiliboy will be picked for the Springboks. Edit: Chiliboy has only started for the Sharks in weeks 8, 9 and 10. that's 3 times out of 15 rounds so far. Sure he is being "rested" [/QUOTE]
