document.write("I actually feel sorry for Luke. His father is such a political manipulator that he has totally messed up his son's future. Politics and sport just do not mix well - STANDARDS AND PROVEN ABILITY are what count, not string-pulling behind the scenes. Cheeky Watson needs to butt out now and let Luke prove if he really has what it takes out there on the field.. gerald");
document.write("<h5>Head of EPRU</h5>");
document.write("Why is Watson Sr trying to become head of EPRU? Isn't that counter his transformation policy? Does he even know what he thinks, or says? <br /><br />A random drug test for LSD and other hallucinogens should be performed on Watson Sr. Maybe Jr too. . L");

document.write("He thinks he is God .... \" Watson Snr also confirmed that Luke would not be going abroad to play rugby, but rather that he will be back to play Super 14 rugby next year.\"<br /><br />I can tell you now, if there is going to be any democratic voting allowed, they will LOSE! <br /><br />JY SAL VERLOOR JOU ONGESKIKTE BLIKSEMSE AAP!!!! . Thea");
document.write("<h5>Transformation</h5>");
document.write("If Cheeky is always preaching transformation, why is he running for EP president? Why not back someone else for president. Does he classify as BEE? Or maybe he thinks there aren't any suitable black candidates to put forward? Maybe transformation is all good an well as long as Cheeky is president. If the conspirancy against transformation in rugby is so big, why does he think he'll be elected, surely they'll block any of his attempts to get in? If Luke is such a leader why is Cheeky his spokesman? Can't he stand up and talk for himself unless he's in a private meeting? Surely punting his son like this is nepotism (if he's involved in Admin of rugby), aren't there laws against that? Surely you can't act as a spokesperson / manager for a player while your involved in the sports administration? Simple questions i'm sure go way over Cheeky's head.. Lepper_Messiah");

This will be the next union to go under with the Watsons in control. Hope your efforts make you feel like a snake in the grass that you all are.

document.write("<h5>Obvious</h5>");
document.write("Isn't it obvious. Cheeky is running for president so that he can get a seat on the president's council of SARU.<br /><br />Once that happens, he can legitimately influence decisions from within SARU. As soon as that happens, and he surrounds himself with his cronies, his son will probably be the next captain.<br /><br />personally, even if i was good (and young) enough to make a bok team, i don't think i could be part of a team headed by Luke. i don't know how the WP guys lasted under him for so long..

document.write("Some of these comments prove what an immature and backward race we have become. Before we condem others lets have a honest look at ourselves and see if you really can observe a prettier picture of yourself than LW and his dad. We are all no better than those who we swear at and dehumanise, only difference is we should by now have the pedigree to be better.<br />Grow up everyone and stop making fools of everyone but in particular yourselves..
