A weekend to forget
Not so long ago, in October 2015 to be specific, there was a very quirky joke going around… Little known fact There is a Playoff for 5th Place at the Rugby World Cup […]
Allister Coetzee and the ex-pats
My mind goes back to January 2012, when Heyneke Meyer was appointed Springbok coach. For many, his appointment was seen as vindication of a process which saw him purportedly robbed of the position […]
Bok Rugby Beter
Die meeste van ons sukkel nog om die impak van Saterdag se oorwinning oor die All Blacks reg te verwerk. Van die meer sober gedagtes wat sedertdien aan die lig gekom het, is […]
The Newlands Derby
The Rugby Championship log reminds me of horse racing. The winner appears to have an unassailable lead, while two of the also-rans will fight it out for the second spot. New Zealand is […]
Halfway to paradise
Mutual music maniacs may have heard echoes of this Billy Fury song after the final whistle blew in the match between the All Blacks and the Springboks on Saturday. In particular, the final […]
Kyk Vorentoe, Springbokke
Kommentators na aan die Bokke beweer dat hulle die teleurstelling van verlede Saterdag verwerk het, en nou op die groot stryd teen die aartsvyand fokus. Ek dink nie dit sal ‘n slegte ding […]

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 […]
Weather with You
One can hardly be blamed for looking at the weather forecast, rather than the team selections, for the second round of the Rugby Championship. This line from a Crowded House song keeps ringing […]

The End of an Era
Bobby Londt To describe King Kallis’s career in a blog would not be possible, nor would it do justice to a career that ranks up there with the best. For this reason, this […]
Springbok Squad for Rugby Championship
The announcement of the squad was delayed to this coming Saturday as a result of the Sharks making the semi-finals. One suspects that the ultimate list of 30 players will be a mixed […]
Boks Wilt the Flower of Scotland
Perhaps it was more a case of deflowering Scotland, given the half century in points the Boks piled up on Saturday. Most of the reports after the match focused on the excellent team […]
Sink or Swim
Handré Pollard’s inclusion as the Springbok pivot is undoubtedly the main talking point around the braai fire. Braam van Straaten reckons he has the potential to be the best ever fly half in […]
