How Green was your Valley?
The Springbok team, announced yesterday, pleased more people than usual, both from a view of who was selected, and who was left out. The inclusion of Pat Lambie in place of Zane Kirchner […]
Like Lambs to the Slaughter
According to an article on the Supersport website, South Africa have now failed to cross the 200-mark in five of their last seven matches, including a 4-1 defeat against Sri Lanka in July […]
Europe here we come
Now that I have almost managed to digest the overdose of humble pie I was fed over the weekend, it is time to look forward to bigger things – the end-of-year tour by […]
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 […]

Tough Choice
Langenhoven het beweer dat dit makliker is om te leef na die inkomste waartoe jy gestyg het, as die een waartoe jy gedaal het. Dis omtrent hoe ek voel oor hierdie berig – […]
Will History Repeat Itself?
Ek lees vanoggend dat die All Blacks oor Ellispark voel soos die Bokke oor Eden Park. Keven Mealamu word aangehaal as sou hy sê dat dit enige All Black se grootste uitdaging is […]
Hot and Cold
Knit one, pearl one appeared to be the recipe for the weekend’s rugby – there was one good half and one not so good half. This goes for both the Boks and the […]
Shades of 1995
South Africa’s victory in the Rugby World Cup final in 1995 is arguably the finest moment in our rugby history. I still believe the opening game at Newlands laid the platform for what […]
Once Bitten
Steve Manning, an ex-pat living in Australia, posted this on Facebook: The Boks have always been done in by refs. Here is Frik Du Preez being blatantly bitten on the hand by Chris […]
The Continuing Saga
The fact that a referee’s poor decisions are still the main talking point around the world of rugby, indicates that fans have now had enough. It appears that the IRB has finally taken […]
The Domino Effect
The temptation to join in the free-for-all in lambasting Romain Poite is huge, and it is difficult to find something new to say. The indignation we experienced after the event was not limited […]
