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 – […]
Will History Repeat Itself?
Ek lees vanoggend dat die All Blacks oor Ellispark voel soos die Bokke oor Eden Park. Keven Mealamu word aangehaal as sou hy sê dat dit enige All Black se grootste uitdaging is […]
Hot and Cold

Before the Australia All Blacks game, it was mentioned that the average score between the two sides is 25 – 23 in favour of the All Blacks. There must have been more than […]

Ek weet nie hoeveel van my Engelse maatjies hierdie speletjie as kind geken het nie, maar ek glo steeds dit is die hoofoorsaak van my rugprobleme. Dit is egter nou die Bokke se […]
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 […]
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 […]
