Wind uit hul Seile En daar vind die Stormers toe uit jy kan nie oornag van super verdediging oorskakel na super aanval nie. Veral nie as jy twee ysters soos Vermeulen en Elstadt […]
Are we “Trying” hard enough?
I blame the poor rugby, from all but one team, squarely on today being Monday the thirteenth, and I am doomed to try and find something positive to say after the way the […]
Bleeding in the Trenches
There was a short, almost implied comment in my morning paper which provided me with better insight into the current situation of the South African sides in the Super 15 competition. I read […]
Too little too late
This may very well be the lament of both the Stormers and the Sharks, after the weekend’s disappointing losses. Neither team should have lost their respective matches, yet suffered self-inflicted defeats. The Kings […]
Super 15 Week Twelve
This public holiday in the middle of the week really messed up my biological clock. When I woke up this morning, going to work was the last thing on my mind. Then, when […]

Stormers must win & Cheetahs on the brink
Rebels v Kings: Saturday – AAMI Park, Melbourne 11:40 Friday morning sees the Kings play their last tour match as they meet the Rebels in Melbourne – both sides would have this fixture marked […]
Cheetahs and Kings take honours

Vat hom Ouboet!
This weekend, the Kings face yet another steep hurdle, playing the Brumbies in Canberra. Jake White has already indicated that he will not select an “underweight” side, knowing how physical the Kings are. […]
