First Pink Pants Award for 2010 goes to…

13. Apr, 2010 7 Comments

The Pink Pants Award is a Shebeen Boys tradition that has great staying power, being passed down year to year. While it started out as an award for a player doing something ridiculous, inexplicable or amazing on the rugby field, it has evolved to our way of showcasing that someone on our team decided to do something really embarrassing that week, predominantly on the field (but sometimes off it too).

For this, the first award for 2010, which results in the winner wearing the pink pants for the duration of the midweek match against Leo Marquard, there were a number of strong contenders…

We had Siv, for being so vocally abusive against Ikhaya that their own quota wanted to off him.

There was Tom, our very own hippie, for having the wind knocked out of him in his first minute on a rugby field in 2010.

However, there is only one member that deserves this dubious honour. He made his big screen debut last year in Clint Eastwood’s  Invictus.He played Josh Kronfeld, New Zealand’s speedy openside flanker in the 1995 World Cup. Since getting his first taste of stardom, it seems he has been yearning for more screen time, which is why he auditioned for the latest edition of South African idols…

Congrats Karl, you will definitely look the part tomorrow night!

I tried to get hold of Karl for a short interview, but his PR lady refused to put me through, stating that her star was “saving his voice for the next round”.

    Have a great game boys! Pity I can’t make it. Just remember that 2 areas of the game are super important at this level. Contest for the ball at kick-offs (offence and defense). Ensure you have pillars at the breakdown. Now go out and win!

    Oh and make sure you have someone on your shoulder not a metre in front or behind you on defense. Up in a line not a curved line. Over and out. Dad.

    In the Northern Suburbs we have this little phrase of wisdom (because really there aren’t many)…. It goes like this:

    “You P*#s”

    A-thank you……

    (P.S. I got some Idols coverage in the Argus and on News24 – Bonus.)
