A Sweet and Sour Weekend
On Friday, the Stormers reverted to their tried and tested approach in grinding out a two point win against the Hurricanes. How ironic that their winning margin was thanks to the never-say-die spirit […]
Are we on our way to the Colosseum?
One should be wary of getting stuck in the “good old days”. Today is tomorrow’s good old days, after all. When I mentioned to my colleague Bobby, that John Plumtree currently sits with […]
Bulls & Cheetahs win away from home
The much anticipated clash between the Sharks and the Cheetahs produced the expected result, based on recent form. The score was exactly the same as in the earlier encounter in Bloemfontein. The significant […]
Sharks under Pressure & Luke Watson returns
Sharks v Cheetahs at Kings Park, Durban, Saturday 17:05 Will the Cheetahs let another opportunity slip? This is the big question for this fixture. The Sharks are seriously under strain as the underperformance […]
Super Surprises
As most SuperBru* players will testify, it was a weekend few could have predicted. The Super Surprises of the weekend in terms of results were the Chiefs losing at home to the Reds […]
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
Brumbies v Kings An amazing performance by the now not so unknown Kings! The log leader Brumbies would not have expected a display like that and I imagine Jake White could be a […]
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. […]
Not quite the Two Oceans
The Blitszbokke finally came right. What is more, they did it against New Zealand, a side that seem to have a mental stranglehold on them. Hopefully this will pump them up to improve […]
Dis ‘n Slagveld
Hierdie week se voorskou fokus amper meer op wie nié kan speel nie, as die spanne se samestelling self. Bulle lyk Beter Die span vir Saterdag se wedstryd teen die Brumbies is aansienlik […]
A Fair to Mild Weekend
A seriously busy sporting weekend at times produced lighter moments, too. In the Bulls/Reds match, I found it very funny when the Reds received a Yellow card when Lance did a Spear tackle […]
Aussie Onslaught
This weekend sees four of the five SA sides take on Aussie opponents. All local supporters are hoping for a “four Aces” hand, but that could be wishful thinking, unless we see a […]
“F” is for FAIL
Dankie Vader vir die Vrystaat. Die naasgunstelingspan van byna elke rugby ondersteuner in die land, benewens die Cheetahs se eie ondersteuners, het die naweek op die regte noot afgeskop deur vas te byt […]
A War on Four Fronts
Cheetahs vs Waratahs The bigger threat for the Cheetahs tomorrow will not be their opponents, but over confidence after their stunning performance last week against the Highlanders. While some of the other teams […]
What a Wonder Weekend
I hummed this adaptation of the Louis Armstrong hit to myself as I drifted into a peaceful sleep last night. Bulls Played the Blues Must admit I enjoy reading the NZ newspapers the […]
Drive for Show…
Daar word tans ‘n groot bohaai gemaak oor die gehalte spel van die Nieu-Seeland spanne, amper asof hulle al reeds die kompetisie gewen het. Veral die Chiefs en Blues loop tans op water, […]
