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, […]
Chiefs vs Cheetahs From NZ Herald: Chiefs coach, Dave Rennie, is wary of a Cheetahs side which lost to the Sharks in their opening game, but there is no doubt he is taking […]
Looking at the fixture list for the Super 15 series, the Sharks, like the Stormers, face a rather hectic schedule at the start of the tournament. They play the Cheetahs in Bloem, the […]
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 […]
To describe the series loss as a disappointment, is an understatement. Although the Proteas seemed to be cruising to a win at a 160 for 1 the side imploded to lose the game […]

Proteas The last time the Proteas came back from the land of the long white cloud in 2003 /2004 it was with a taste of bitterness and humiliation as they drew the test […]
The Black Caps looks set to play an additional batsman and forgo the four man seam attack for the last and final test. Perhaps a test too late, but they have identified the […]
A brave decision by Proteas skipper, Smith, paid out more than they bargained for. The play on words “paid out” is deliberate as I think it was a gamble on a pitch which […]
Gareth Anscombe This is the first Super season after a World Cup year, and it is exciting to see so much new talent coming to the fore, both here and overseas. The Bulls […]
I could not help thinking of Donavan’s memorable song “Colours” when contemplating this column. While the Bulls hogged the lime(?)light for obvious reasons, a few other factors related to hues also raised some […]
