One unforeseen outcome of the extensive Super 15 series is the long list of fallen comrades. If one bears in mind that the competition has been running for nearly 5 months, with a […]
Super 15 Line-up for the weekend Highlanders/Bulls in Dunedin My colleague and ardent Bulls fan (is there any other type?) says he is quite happy with what his team has achieved so far. […]
Proteas The last time the Proteas came back from the land of the long white cloud in 2003 /2004 it was with a taste of bitterness and humiliation as they drew the test […]
Die groot verskil tussen die Bulle en die ander SA spanne die naweek was hul vermoë om vir 80 minute te konsentreer. Dalk kan mens ook die Lions hiervoor krediet gee. Hulle het […]
