Perfectly Planned and Executed
Western Province 19 – Sharks 33 An article in my local paper titled, “That is why WP lost” may well have read: “Why the Sharks won.” It lists the following 5 factors: Poor […]

Cape of Storms
It is a bit much expecting me to believe that the Sharks, with a possible starting line-up containing eleven Springboks, are the underdogs. There were more attempts at trying to shirk the mantle […]
Second Last Hurdle
The Currie Cup is not nearly as important on the rugby front as it was in days gone by, but it retains interest for many of us for whom it was the only […]
The Die is cast…
Cream will rise to the top, and the final standings in the Currie Cup log is possibly a fair reflection of the fortunes of the teams who battled for a place in the […]
Currie Cup – Not all cut and dried & Proteas Back to the Grindstone
Currie Cup – Not all cut and dried The outcome of the weekend’s clashes can still influence where the Currie Cup ends up this year. While some will play for home ground advantage […]
Currie Cup Against India?
The hotly contested tour itinerary of the Indian cricket tour later this year suggests that playing for a Currie Cup may be more apt than something milder than a Bombay special. The ructions […]
Breaking news, Boks squad & Curriebeker koors!
Breaking News My colleague Bobby Londt, who went to the UK to play cricket for six months and returned eight years later, sent me some stats on a youngster that played cricket with […]

Chiefs take the honours in S15 Final

Carol King co-wrote a song with this title made famous by Billy Fury: I want to be your lover But your friend is all I’ve stayed I’m only halfway to paradise So near, […]
Worrying times
A much improved bowling and fielding performance by the Proteas in the 2nd one day international was not enough to secure victory. They fell 17 runs short in the rain affected, Duckworth-Lewis influenced […]
Bleak Day at Black Rock
Aussies and Proteas Annihilated The Aussies got truly trashed by the English in the second test. Unfortunately the same fate awaits them in the remaining tests. Ignore the media hype regarding the series […]
Too much Heaven
Bogenoemde titel van ‘n Bee Gees liedjie som vir my die huidige (amper) oor-aanbod van sport op. Dit wil voorkom of al die belangrikste sportgebeure in die een maand wat Engeland somer beleef, […]
Momentum Lost
A lot of talk before the past weekend’s Super 15 matches concerned how those teams who are relatively assured of a place in the final would do their best to maintain their winning […]
What a Weekend
This weekend was a particularly frustrating one for the females in my family who were obliged to watch PVR recordings of shows that clashed with my sporting obligations on the box. Thank you […]
A bitter Pill
The only consolation for me after two defeats, since Tuesday, is that the junior Boks at least put up a semblance of a fight, and hung in there right up to the end. […]
Too close for comfort
This just about sums up everything South Africans, and the world, faced this weekend. Merion makes mincemeat of the world’s best players Justin Rose, winning by two shots after finishing at one over […]
