The long and winding road
Jake White was upbeat about the fortunes of the Sharks over the next few weeks after his side thrashed a willing Stormers team on Saturday. With limited possession, they managed to score the […]
The Riot Act
The ridiculous controversy around Victor Matfield’s scrum cap was taken to new heights when the Bulls donned their riot squad attire on Saturday against the Stormers. The sharp contrast between their military rugby […]
Bestendigheid Meyer se Basis
Die afwesigheid van sleutelspelers in die Bok oefengroep moet nie gesien word as ‘n aanduiding dat Heyneke Meyer beoog om ‘n klomp nuwelinge in te sluit in die span wat teen die internasionale […]
Time to draw a line
Several episodes over the weekend involving match officials yet again shifted the focus from where it should be. Let me start off by saying that the two red cards were fully deserved, and […]
Super Fifteen Super Games
An unbiased rugby lover can look forward to a couple of great contests this weekend. Top of the Pops The main match this weekend must be the tussle between the two sides heading […]
Drie uit Drie?
Round 7 sees the Lions and Cheetahs taking a well-earned break to try and get their injured players back in shape. In the case of the Free Staters, they will also be tending […]

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 […]
Chiefs take the honours in S15 Final
Super Final Contrary to popular (local?) belief, a rugby final does not have to be boring. What I found fascinating was not only the contest on the field, but also the game of […]
Worrying times
A much improved bowling and fielding performance by the Proteas in the 2nd one day international was not enough to secure victory. They fell 17 runs short in the rain affected, Duckworth-Lewis influenced […]
Super 15 Week Twelve
This public holiday in the middle of the week really messed up my biological clock. When I woke up this morning, going to work was the last thing on my mind. Then, when […]
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 […]
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 Dethrone English
I became quite loud on Monday as the match between the Proteas and England progressed. After the elation of watching Amla yet again re-writing the record books, I posted on Facebook that Hashim […]
