The “Bettle” of the Breakdown
This call by Breytie before the match turned out to be accurate, but the match was won out wide by a rampant All Black side against a shell-shocked Australia. The pace was frenetic […]
Oiling the Rusty Nails
South Africa, for once, outplayed the All Blacks by clicking into top gear in their opening match of the season, unlike the Kiwis who sputtered like an engine requiring a major service. The […]
The Bigger Picture
The book, Slaughterhouse-5 by the renowned author Kurt Vonnegut, may as well have had the Super 15, rather than World War II, as background. Do yourself a favour and look at the official […]
AB is Redefining Batting
These are not my words – it was uttered by a commentator during the Bangladesh/Pakistan match yesterday. Few can fault this thinking, or disagree with the view. Batting him at number three, as […]
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 […]
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 […]
You can't fudge experience
New Zealand/Australia The Aussies only made one injury enforced change to the team. Ewen McKenzie (Pictured above) explained his thinking as follows in the NZ Herald: “You can’t fudge experience and I know […]
Too little too late
This may very well be the lament of both the Stormers and the Sharks, after the weekend’s disappointing losses. Neither team should have lost their respective matches, yet suffered self-inflicted defeats. The Kings […]
“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 […]
What a Wonder Weekend
I hummed this adaptation of the Louis Armstrong hit to myself as I drifted into a peaceful sleep last night. Bulls Played the Blues Must admit I enjoy reading the NZ newspapers the […]
Helpers out – Round 2.
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 […]
Steyn & Co – Unlimited!
