We have seen the Future
While all SA rugby fans are justifiably ecstatic about the senior team’s performance against Wales, the junior Boks made me immensely proud on Sunday. Winning against a determined Baby Blacks side was wonderful, […]

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 […]
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 Lone Shark
The title of an article on Supersport reads: “Looks like Sharks will stand alone”, and possibly reflects the views of most South African fans at this stage of the Super 15 Competition. The […]
Pluck the Golden Rooster
Stade de France, the national stadium of France, is situated just north of Paris in the commune of Saint-Denis. It has an all-seater capacity of 81,338, making it the sixth largest stadium in Europe, and is used by both […]
Ye’ll take the High Road…
The man we most loved to hate, Sean Fitzpatrick, is actually a very likeable rogue. The interview with Ali Bacher was outstanding, and I would love to watch it again. On Saturday, Supersport […]
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 […]
Perfectly Planned and Executed
Western Province 19 – Sharks 33 An article in my local paper titled, “That is why WP lost” may well have read: “Why the Sharks won.” It lists the following 5 factors: Poor […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sports Galore
That peaceful process, which unites us as a nation, happens on Saturday, when Heyneke Meyer announces his side for the first test against Italy. We introduce you to a lekker website where armchair […]
A Sweet and Sour Weekend
On Friday, the Stormers reverted to their tried and tested approach in grinding out a two point win against the Hurricanes. How ironic that their winning margin was thanks to the never-say-die spirit […]
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 […]
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 […]
The One That Got Away
An article in Psychology Today carried the same title. It starts off with the following words: “Though we are designed to learn from our mistakes, remembering them is rarely enjoyable. Especially when they […]
Ands, Ifs and butts kicked
We certainly had some lively discussion on Monday’s blog. In particular, Morné Steyn’s performance came under the spotlight. There were some great chirps: Tony: Although I really like Jean De Villiers, he needs […]
