Rise and Shine
One of the best things to happen in South African rugby last year, was the brand new crop of brilliant youngsters. Eben Etzebeth and Marcel Coetzee, for example, made their mark in no […]

Steyn & Co – Unlimited!
The first time it happened was against the Aussies – I think we all thought it was a once off; A slip on the part of Australia, just one of those inexplicable cricket […]
The weekend that was
Ek raak nou al uitgehonger vir die Super 15, en na die naweek se teleurstellende uitslae in die krieket en sokker, begin ek maar solank oplees oor wat vir ons op die rugby […]
Australia conquered… again!
Deservedly the Proteas reaffirmed their position as the best test side in the world with an outstanding display in the third and final test. We all were a bit disappointed after the first […]
One Pint of Bitter, please barman
On Saturday night, the English team were drowning their sorrows, as yet another opportunity to beat South Africa, slipped through the cracks. The pub they were sitting in, is one of those typical […]
Oh, to be in England
It was quite scary, reading on Monday morning of the late citing of Eben Etzebeth. I quite like the way Gavin Rich put it: After a marathon disciplinary hearing, it was confirmed by […]
Double Trouble
A reader recently sent me an e-mail that read: What distinguishes a good Scotch from an ordinary dram? One double makes you think you’re single. This quite accurately sums up what happened on […]
Ringing in the Changes
I experienced a rare “I told you so” moment when I read yesterday that coach Meyer agreed with my views on patience – both from the players and supporters. But too much of […]
Showtime at the Gabba Corral
In view of the lull in sporting activities, I did some spywork and found the following extracts in the Sydney Morning Herald in anticipation of Friday’s first match between the Proteas and Australia. […]
Transforming sport about more than numbers
This is the title of an article which appeared in Business Day yesterday. I must admit that this is probably the first time where the honourable Minister of Sport and Recreation and I […]
All Blacks Victory March Stopped
Hats off to the Aussies for a very gutsy performance against the All Blacks. Hopefully Higginbotham will have his bottom severely kicked for kneeing and head butting McCaw. Loved this snippet in the […]
Super Sevens
What a joy it was to see the Blitsbokke perform so well over the weekend. The game against the All Blacks clearly showed that they have no hang-ups, or hangovers, from their previous […]
Taking Stock of Springbok Rugby Part 1
After watching the All Blacks literally “blitz” the Boks in the 2nd half of Saterday’s test – a “home” game for the Boks AND at high altitude (something that used to be a […]
Proteas: Déjà Vu?
Another ICC tournament and the Proteas are yet again on the brink of the ejection edifice. (The word PME comes to mind – editor) Australia thumped the Proteas yesterday. Perhaps a little payback […]
Proteas can Nitpick
With the Super Eights looming, the Proteas are poised in an ideal position to stake their claim for the World T20 trophy. A clinical performance against a Zimbabwean side and a comprehensive beating […]
Back to the drawing board
Whereto now, Coach? In retrospect, our first half against the Wallabies was not as good as the score would indicate. We did not play that well – it was rather that the Aussies […]
Manhandled in Mendoza
NZ 22 – Australia 0 It took the All Blacks more than 25 minutes to score their first points. Full marks to the Wallabies for keeping the game tight, minimizing opportunities for the […]
