Proteas Break the Mould
On Thursday, I had to swallow my words when JP Duminy and the tail-enders batted South Africa to a match-winning first innings total. This was followed by the bowlers, spearheaded by Dale Steyn, […]

Sharks take on Scots
Well, I thought to myself, if this Kiwi team wants to take its name from the Highlands of Scotland, they had better live up to the glorious past they choose to represent. The […]
The long and winding road
Jake White was upbeat about the fortunes of the Sharks over the next few weeks after his side thrashed a willing Stormers team on Saturday. With limited possession, they managed to score the […]
World Cup Mania
When last, if ever, did you experience such a reaction to a sporting event as Brazil’s loss to Germany on Tuesday night? Apart from the record number of tweets, the jokes poured in, […]
The Riot Act
The ridiculous controversy around Victor Matfield’s scrum cap was taken to new heights when the Bulls donned their riot squad attire on Saturday against the Stormers. The sharp contrast between their military rugby […]
The Exodus Continues
This morning’s newspaper contains a new list of players heading overseas, mainly to Japan and France. The French market appears to be near saturation point, with 51 of our players in the top […]
Boks Wilt the Flower of Scotland
Perhaps it was more a case of deflowering Scotland, given the half century in points the Boks piled up on Saturday. Most of the reports after the match focused on the excellent team […]
Sink or Swim
Handré Pollard’s inclusion as the Springbok pivot is undoubtedly the main talking point around the braai fire. Braam van Straaten reckons he has the potential to be the best ever fly half in […]
A Close Shave
By a Whisker The biggest plus to come out of Saturday’s nail-biter is that the Springboks came back twice in one match from a hopeless situation and eventually managed to win by one […]
Boys will be men
When the junior Springboks take on the pride of England, it will not be child’s play. There is some serious bulk on display in both sides. The big test will not be height […]
We have seen the Future
While all SA rugby fans are justifiably ecstatic about the senior team’s performance against Wales, the junior Boks made me immensely proud on Sunday. Winning against a determined Baby Blacks side was wonderful, […]
Die een se dood…
Daar was lanklaas soveel bespreking en bespiegeling na Frans Steyn se onttrekking aan die Springbokspan. Die ouer garde brom dat hy dislojaal is teenoor die land, terwyl die jonger garde voel dis ‘n […]
Oiling the Rusty Nails
South Africa, for once, outplayed the All Blacks by clicking into top gear in their opening match of the season, unlike the Kiwis who sputtered like an engine requiring a major service. The […]
Size does Matter
This is the only logical conclusion I could come to when I saw the Springbok team selected for the test against the International side on Saturday. One cannot fault the pack, including the […]
O Captain my Captain
It appears a foregone conclusion in the media that Victor Matfield will lead the Springboks until the return of Jean de Villiers. I am in agreement with this, but to disqualify Bismarck du […]
Welcome Breather Ahead
Thank goodness this is the final Super Rugby round for a few weeks. I was about to declare myself injured after all these matches which started more than three months ago. The break […]
Bok team taking shape
They say that, in golf, every shot pleases someone – either the player, or his opponent. The bad news about the incumbent Bok captain probably solves a quandary for the coach while at […]
