The Road to Hell…
Heyneke Meyer kept his word by sticking to last week’s team as much as possible. The inclusion of two Bulls will no doubt lead to a moan or two down south, but both […]
Blood on the tracks
My favourite author, Ian Rankin (of Inspector John Rebus fame), named many of his books after song titles of the Rolling Stones. I copy him this week by using the title of one […]
Stand by your men…
I was convinced that Dolly Parton originally sang this song, but Google informs me that it was Tammy Wynette. Who am I to judge such a lovely pair? Tony in Durban het my […]
Super 15 Surprises
Na ek Donderdag se berig in die Moonstone Monitor weer gelees het, besef ek net weer hoekom rugby vooruitskouings en weervoorspellings so baie in gemeen het. Nes jy dink jy ken al die […]
Super 15 Showdown
Daar is een ding wat my meer pla as die Bulls se pienk truie. Waar is die meisies in die cowboy pakkies en Stetsons? Ek het nogal ’n ding oor hulle gehad. My […]
The long and winding road
The Super 15 series is now at that stage where one can look cautiously at the remaining matches in the knock-out stage of the game to try and predict who will end where. […]
Showdown at the Kings Park Corral
Hoe Maak hulle dan somme? Waar is die goeie ou dae toe ‘n haker nog gehaak het en ‘n vleuel nog gehol het? Los nou maar eers vir Piston van Wyk uit hierdie […]
Who should "Front" the onslaught?
The tight five chosen to represent South Africa against England in next month’s three-test series will play a major role in the outcome of the series. Starving the English of possession will nullify […]
Burger oorlog in Bloem!
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. […]
The Playoffs are Nearing
The unexpected losses of the Crusaders, Chiefs and Highlanders put a new perspective on just who will make the final six. The rules of the competition make for some interesting possibilities, and the […]
Daar lê die Ding
Die spelers wat vir die Springbokke op nommers 15, 10 en 9 gaan uitdraf, sowel as die plaasvervangers in hierdie sleutelposisies, kan bepalend wees in die uitkoms van die reeks. Fourie du Preez […]
Hats off to the Hockey Champions
If ever a medal should be awarded to a team for overcoming setbacks, disappointment and discrimination, it should go to the SA men’s hockey side. Forced to re-qualify for the Olympics by the […]
Promotion of Southern Kings?
Jake White has, as usual, added his opinion on this controversial issue, and for once, I agree with him. We all know how big the gap is between the Vodacom Cup and the […]
Halfway house overview
If there is one saying by Piet Helium that remains true, then it is his advice to those who questioned the physicality of rugby to buy themselves a tutu and take up ballet. […]
Who to choose and who to lose?
The fact that only three teams were in action this past weekend makes it a lot easier to arrive at a final fifteen, although we are quite sure that not everyone will agree […]
Best of the Boks?
The announcement of Heyneke Meyer’s support structure raised quite few eyebrows, including that of Bulls supporters. To add fuel to the fire, there is speculation that Victor Matfield may be recalled to the […]
