A bitter Pill
The only consolation for me after two defeats, since Tuesday, is that the junior Boks at least put up a semblance of a fight, and hung in there right up to the end. […]
Too close for comfort
This just about sums up everything South Africans, and the world, faced this weekend. Merion makes mincemeat of the world’s best players Justin Rose, winning by two shots after finishing at one over […]
Welcome to Politics, John
This was the remark made by my colleague, Bobby, when he read about Brian van Zyl publicly contradicting John Smit regarding the future of John Plumtree in Sharks rugby. John certainly is no […]
Hier kom die Bokke
On the whole, most SA rugby fans will be pleased with the performance of the Springboks on Saturday. There are a few concerns, notably at the kick-offs, where they did not field the […]
Much Ado About Much
It was Jack Benny who said: “Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.” It will take one seriously good looking […]
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 […]

Perfecting the 4 day test
Unfortunately, I did not get to see any of the cricket as I spent the weekend on the West Coast without TV and cell reception. Heaven! On my return on Sunday afternoon, I […]
The weekend that was
Ek raak nou al uitgehonger vir die Super 15, en na die naweek se teleurstellende uitslae in die krieket en sokker, begin ek maar solank oplees oor wat vir ons op die rugby […]
Yesterday, Tomorrow and Thereafter
Bobby discusses the second test starting tomorrow, and Paul looks at the period leading up to when the official number one side in test cricket is crowned. We came across a wonderful website […]
Black Caps tour: Setup for failure
In my opinion, the Black caps never stood a chance due to the failures of its management structures. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) failed the team, and specifically the players, by not providing them […]
Australia conquered… again!
Deservedly the Proteas reaffirmed their position as the best test side in the world with an outstanding display in the third and final test. We all were a bit disappointed after the first […]
One Pint of Bitter, please barman
On Saturday night, the English team were drowning their sorrows, as yet another opportunity to beat South Africa, slipped through the cracks. The pub they were sitting in, is one of those typical […]
European Tour Overview
European Tour Overview The difference between the All Blacks and the Springboks is exactly the same as that which differentiates their supporters. After a very touching opening to the match (the band stopped […]
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 […]
