Ye’ll take the High Road…

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 […]
Go Big, Boys
Heyneke Meyer was happy to be able to name an unchanged squad, but realises that there is still a long way to go in terms of where we want to be. “You don’t […]
Smash and Grab
This is not only a phrase used to describe a form of petty crime; it was also the name of a great South African racing horse. If one has to find an equivalent […]
Currie Cup Against India?
The hotly contested tour itinerary of the Indian cricket tour later this year suggests that playing for a Currie Cup may be more apt than something milder than a Bombay special. The ructions […]
Bad Liver and a Broken Heart
On Sunday morning I could not make up my mind about which song best summed up my situation: Bad liver and a broken heart by Tom Waits, or Sunday morning coming down by […]
You can't fudge experience

Bok-Bok Staan Styf
Ek weet nie hoeveel van my Engelse maatjies hierdie speletjie as kind geken het nie, maar ek glo steeds dit is die hoofoorsaak van my rugprobleme. Dit is egter nou die Bokke se […]
Too much Heaven
Bogenoemde titel van ‘n Bee Gees liedjie som vir my die huidige (amper) oor-aanbod van sport op. Dit wil voorkom of al die belangrikste sportgebeure in die een maand wat Engeland somer beleef, […]
What a Weekend
This weekend was a particularly frustrating one for the females in my family who were obliged to watch PVR recordings of shows that clashed with my sporting obligations on the box. Thank you […]
What goes up must come down
Unintended consequences often defeat the object of the exercise. It appears as if this is also happening in financial regulation, internationally. It is common knowledge that much of the regulation of financial services […]
European Tour Overview
European Tour Overview The difference between the All Blacks and the Springboks is exactly the same as that which differentiates their supporters. After a very touching opening to the match (the band stopped […]
So no surprises so far!
T20 World Cup – Super Eights – the weekend preview As expected Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ireland and Zimbabwe were eliminated from the tournament, so no surprises as we progress to the next phase. The […]
Time and Tide
The song, Time and the river, is an old favourite, going back to the sixties, toe manne nog manne was, en die Bokke bo. The opening lines occurred to me when I was […]
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 […]
