A Close Shave
By a Whisker The biggest plus to come out of Saturday’s nail-biter is that the Springboks came back twice in one match from a hopeless situation and eventually managed to win by one […]

Boys will be men
When the junior Springboks take on the pride of England, it will not be child’s play. There is some serious bulk on display in both sides. The big test will not be height […]
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, […]
Die een se dood…
Daar was lanklaas soveel bespreking en bespiegeling na Frans Steyn se onttrekking aan die Springbokspan. Die ouer garde brom dat hy dislojaal is teenoor die land, terwyl die jonger garde voel dis ‘n […]
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 […]
Size does Matter
This is the only logical conclusion I could come to when I saw the Springbok team selected for the test against the International side on Saturday. One cannot fault the pack, including the […]
Bok team taking shape
They say that, in golf, every shot pleases someone – either the player, or his opponent. The bad news about the incumbent Bok captain probably solves a quandary for the coach while at […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Scotland the Grave?
Nie oud of koud nie Dan Carter speel hierdie naweek in sy 100ste wedstryd vir die All Blacks. Daar was al spelers wat hierdie mylpaal bereik het, maar na my mening is hy […]
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 […]
How Green was your Valley?
The Springbok team, announced yesterday, pleased more people than usual, both from a view of who was selected, and who was left out. The inclusion of Pat Lambie in place of Zane Kirchner […]
Like Lambs to the Slaughter
According to an article on the Supersport website, South Africa have now failed to cross the 200-mark in five of their last seven matches, including a 4-1 defeat against Sri Lanka in July […]
