Sir Creep 7,011 Posted August 14, 2015 The world big-screen premiere of "Glory Game: The Joost van der Westhuizen Story" will hit the big screen this month (August). The film tracks Joost van der Westhuizen as he battles the effects of Motor Neuron Disease (MND), a debilitating disease that strikes down scores of healthy adults every year, many of them athletes. It's a very intimate portrayal, which also focuses on the global effort to find a cure, and Joost's campaign to provide better treatment in SA. Directed and produced by award-winning journalist and film-maker, Odette Schwegler, and co-produced by Michael Yelseth and John Webb, the premiere took place at Montecasino, north of Johannesburg on 12 August 2015.

CaptainChorizo 1,903 Posted August 15, 2015 certainly looks good enough to shuffle on for a few more months yet. Hoping about 5-6 more of those months and he makes the starting gate for 2016 teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping about 5-6 more of those months and he makes the starting gate for 2016 teams He will easily stride into 2016. Of course I thought similarly of guitarist Jeff Golub, who's name I reluctantly used in one DP, and damned if he didn't die January 1st to kick off my year (and frankly his year) rightly.

Assuming one of Givens or Scott was your joker on the team, that No Heartbeat Needed team would be about joint 10th currently. If I had a joker in that DP it most certainly would have been Givens (in fact Bianchi or Simon would've been challenging for Joker, Stuart Scott's quick exodus was unexpected). The team I turned in for Shawn's new DP wouldn't be too far afield from one I'd turn in Jan 2016, but we still have 4-1/2 months of headlines and head scratchers. So it's in constant flux.SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
