Springbok Rugby Indaba
All eyes and ears of rugby lovers were focused on Newlands this week as the cream of South African rugby converged to plot and plan the resurrection of the ailing patient. Perhaps I […]
Thank you Proteas
Posing with Faf du Plessis at the start of the tournament is as close as Steve Smith got to the trophy. Photo: Gallo Image I was chatting to my colleague Billy Seyffert this […]
Will the Boks surprise us like the Proteas did?
Last night’s victory over the team we most love to beat will be remembered for a long time. We did not really expect any great cricket in the series, but yesterday’s match was […]
Cheika se jakkalsdraaie
As jy nie sterk is nie, moet jy slim wees, sê ons in Afrikaans. In die Aussie weergawe hiervan moet jy “slim” met “slinks” vervang. Die Aussie breier se nuutjie, om sy plaasvervangerbank […]
Die vis vrot van sy kop af
Die spreekwoord sê dinge kan nie doller as kopaf raak nie, maar as ek so na SA politiek en sport kyk, smaak dit my ons gaan die idioom herskryf. Dit wat nou by […]
The future looks bleak!
The terrifying prospect of facing the All Blacks due to what we have seen in the last couple of months from Alistair and his charges, have lots of Bok fans planning alternative activities […]

Steyn was the leading wicket-taker in the two-match Test series against New Zealand with 10 scalps at 10.20 and claimed his 26th five-for in Centurion to end questions over whether he could regain […]
Alles is nie verlore nie
Alister Coetzee se besluit om nie te torring aan sy span van verlede week nie, behalwe waar beserings dit noodsaak, sal waarskynlik kritiek uitlok. In die kort tydjie wat hy in die stoel […]

SA Cricket on Transformation

Cats or Canes?
The panel of New Zealand rugby experts in last night’s discussion on the final of the 2016 Super Rugby displayed a lot of respect for the Lions, but were unanimous in their view […]
Ackers, the Gambler
At this stage of the Super Rugby competition, the words of the Don Schlitz song, made famous by Kenny Rogers, come to mind: You’ve got to know when to hold ’em Know when […]
Super Rugby Playoffs
The quarter finals are here at long last. I thought you may find it interesting to hear the views from rugby writers in New Zealand, as all three our matches are against Kiwi […]
All Blacks skep hul eie voorsprong
Baie mense in Suid-Afrika raak warm onder die kraag as van hul landsgenote die All Blacks ondersteun wanneer hulle teen die Springbokke speel. Dieselfde geld vir my as ek sien hoe kollegas wat […]
Malfunctioning Sports Stars
Finally the penny dropped – the senior Proteas are so exhausted by the time they get around to playing for their country that they cannot perform. Or, should I say, someone finally had […]
