Are we “Trying” hard enough?
I blame the poor rugby, from all but one team, squarely on today being Monday the thirteenth, and I am doomed to try and find something positive to say after the way the […]
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 […]
Super 15 Week Twelve
This public holiday in the middle of the week really messed up my biological clock. When I woke up this morning, going to work was the last thing on my mind. Then, when […]
A Sweet and Sour Weekend
On Friday, the Stormers reverted to their tried and tested approach in grinding out a two point win against the Hurricanes. How ironic that their winning margin was thanks to the never-say-die spirit […]
Bulls & Cheetahs win away from home
The much anticipated clash between the Sharks and the Cheetahs produced the expected result, based on recent form. The score was exactly the same as in the earlier encounter in Bloemfontein. The significant […]

Not quite the Two Oceans
The Blitszbokke finally came right. What is more, they did it against New Zealand, a side that seem to have a mental stranglehold on them. Hopefully this will pump them up to improve […]
Dis ‘n Slagveld
Hierdie week se voorskou fokus amper meer op wie nié kan speel nie, as die spanne se samestelling self. Bulle lyk Beter Die span vir Saterdag se wedstryd teen die Brumbies is aansienlik […]
A Fair to Mild Weekend
A seriously busy sporting weekend at times produced lighter moments, too. In the Bulls/Reds match, I found it very funny when the Reds received a Yellow card when Lance did a Spear tackle […]
“F” is for FAIL

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 […]
Drive for Show…
Daar word tans ‘n groot bohaai gemaak oor die gehalte spel van die Nieu-Seeland spanne, amper asof hulle al reeds die kompetisie gewen het. Veral die Chiefs en Blues loop tans op water, […]
