Rugby Championship Statistics
It has been a while since I last had goose bumps at the start of a rugby series. While the Rugby Championship is far from ideal, it is a great deal more exciting […]
Boks provide rollercoaster ride
My Saturday was one filled with rugby – The All Black v Wales game was a fantastic affair and up to the 53rd minute a Wales win looked possible. But as only the […]
Probable Springbok Team
My colleagues suggested a squad to take on the international side in a warm-up match prior to facing Wales in June. The huge number of injured players, including the likes of Bakkies Botha […]
A Fitting End
The demolition job on France on Saturday summed up where the Springboks currently are. Much has been said about the game itself, so I will focus on a few aspects not related directly […]
Scotland the Grave?
Nie oud of koud nie Dan Carter speel hierdie naweek in sy 100ste wedstryd vir die All Blacks. Daar was al spelers wat hierdie mylpaal bereik het, maar na my mening is hy […]
Fouries are jolly good fellows
The condition of the pitch is important in cricket, but it should not affect the quality of a rugby match. Sadly, Wales lost here, too. I felt particularly sorry for Frans Malherbe, and […]
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 – […]
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 […]
Wimbledon Wipe-out
First Nadal went, then Sharapova, now Federer. The people running the show must be very grateful that their tickets for next week are already sold. The two gentlemen, Rafa in particular, are the […]
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 […]
Taking Stock of Springbok Rugby Part 2
Let’s just pause for a moment and ask WHY I am in such awe of this team. Well, consistency has never been a problem for the All Blacks but they have something as […]
That sinking feeling
On Saturday, watching both the All Blacks and the Wallabies scrape home in the dying seconds, I was reminded of Jack Nicholson’s comment when he received an Oscar for his performance in “As […]
Blood on the tracks
My favourite author, Ian Rankin (of Inspector John Rebus fame), named many of his books after song titles of the Rolling Stones. I copy him this week by using the title of one […]
Stand by your men…
I was convinced that Dolly Parton originally sang this song, but Google informs me that it was Tammy Wynette. Who am I to judge such a lovely pair? Tony in Durban het my […]
