Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests. Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage. Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney. Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August. His injury means a likely Bok start ... Read Article19 May 2013
GREGOR PAUL, in the Herald on Sunday, writes world rugby will get its integrated season after the 2015 World Cup and Super Rugby won't break to accommodate an international window. Super Rugby will shift to a March start and won't break for test matches, the June window will be shifted to July and all players will have a 14 to 16-week off-season. Other innovative plans are being discussed, such as building a world series of tests in years that fall between the World Cup and British Lions tours. The revolution that All Black coach Steve Hansen called for last week is coming. The players ... Read Article25 Apr 2013
Jan Serfontein, the player of last year's under 20 World Championship, will head the baby Boks defence in France. Serfontein and Kings wing Sergeal Petersen are two Super Rugby regulars to make Dawie Theron's squad and brilliant flyhalf Handre Pollard is another to play in a second successive tournament. Theron's squad lost a three-match series 2-1 to Argentina in Argentina. Serfontein, Petersen and Western Province's Cheslin Kolbe did not play in those matches. Bulls loose forward Ruan Steenkamp is captain. Serfontein and Pollard are the only two squad members from last year's ... Read Article14 May 2013
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has selected several uncapped Blues players in his training group. Hansen confirmed 38 names and this included many from the potent Blues backline. The Highlanders, despite only winning one match in this year's Super Rugby competition, have six players in the group. An obvious area of weakness is at hooker where Hansen has selected veterans Andrew Hore and Keven Mealamu and Canes Dane Coles. Options are limited and it certainly is a concern for New Zealanders. No overseas-based players were considered, as it is NZRFU policy. Among the uncapped players ... Read Article15 May 2013
French coach Philipe Saint-Andre has included three South African-born players for the three-Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Racing Metro flank Bernard le Roux and Clermont prop Daniel Kotze join Antonie Claassen in a squad that includes eight new caps. Fijian-born Clermont winger Noa Nakaitaci is among the newcomers. Saint-Andre has rested flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc, but included Toulon's Frederic Michalak. France play world champions New Zealand on June 8, 15 and 22 in Auckland, Hamilton and New Plymouth respectively. French super club Toulon's foreign dominance ... Read Article5 Mar 2013
MARK KEOHANE writes the Varsity Cup in its first year rocked. Since then it's just another professional tournament. The Varsity Cup may have the innovation of doing a few things differently, but what was supposed to be a celebration of student rugby somehow just seems like another tournament, in which the traditional power houses remain the traditional strengths in the tournament. Much has been made of the Port Elizabeth-based Nelson Mandela University display this season and equally there has been bewilderment at how poor Shimlas have been. But it seems the old one two of Stellenbosch University ... Read Article12 May 2013
Marcus Watson scored in extra time to beat the Blitzbokke in the London World Series Sevens Cup quarter-finals. The teams were level 14-all at full time. Watson's try came four minutes into extra time. England won 19-14. England had the chance to win the match with the last play of the game in normal time. They were awarded a penalty and opted to take a drop kick for goal. It missed. Watson then rounded off a move after England had retained possession for two minutes. South Africa suffered further embarrassment when they lost for a second time in the tournament to the USA and were eliminated ... Read Article8 Jan 2013
Limpopo will play in the Vodacom Cup as a separate side for the first time this year. The region, which is a sub-union of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, has been granted a place in the tournament in its own rights to help foster rugby in South Africa’s far north. They join the 14 provincial unions as well as the returning Pampas XV from Argentina in the tournament, which kicks off in the second week of March and concludes in mid-May. The Polokwane-based Limpopo team will play in the North Section of the competition, along with the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions, Griffons, Leopards, Pumas, Valke ... Read Article7 Jun 2011

go stormers!!!!!!!!!!!

decent points and interesting video but the Verimark selling me something in your face attitude is pretty uncalled for. Get a desk – sit down and relax. Your opinion is just that your opinion – dont make out as if everything you say is fact. Its just irritiating. Be natural – enjoy yourself and keep it light. Just my 2 cents worth. I dont want to feel like a housewife who feels compellwd to buy your vacuum cleaner.
7 Jun 2011, 17:18 pm
Thats directed more at Mark – Ryan is bantering away quite nicely. Not so aggro and in your face.
7 Jun 2011, 17:24 pm
Mitch i dont like you personally lol nice and to the point
7 Jun 2011, 17:25 pm
Keo, you gonna get one serious PK @ some stage for being as outspoken as you are. Be more professional dude, you behaving like an *******!
You called Ashleigh Johnson a DOOS on TV, now you saying Willem Alberts is KAK,
You are a reporter by profession, but at least do it in a more dignified way, rather than stooping down to some degrading references to try a get people to read your write ups and watch your TV.
You stuff is real trailer trash, and you working seriously hard at getting a reputation for more sensationalism than rugby.
7 Jun 2011, 17:26 pm
ummm yeah,nice concept but you boys not made for TV….Actually SA presenters of sport usually quite rubbish….Watch Sportscenter especially E:60,now that sports TV
7 Jun 2011, 17:44 pm
@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-6: Concept good they just need to work on the delivery. Stop trying to copy the Yanks and find a SA culture driven delivery. We have so much more humour in our society and not that cold in your face mentality
7 Jun 2011, 17:51 pm
Bismarck was average a few weeks back, but he had a big game against the Cheetahs, so the only Kak being strewn here is that he needs a big one against the bottom feeders. I like the Lions (despite their constant ability to disappoint), but if the Sharks can’t put them away (with or without big performances from Biz and Alberts), then it is their own fault.
Alberts has been off recently because he has taken a battering having being played so much and in the role of crash and bash – give him a week or two’s breather and he will be back where he needs to be. I also wouldn’t bet against him hurting some ex team-mates.
7 Jun 2011, 17:54 pm
well lets forget its Keo and what he is dressed like , hell its not like this is national TV
I only look at the message Keo is trying to bring across , and i have to say i agree 100%
I been saying this for so long now , there is great players at the Sharks, but the problem is lack of passion and hunger
The Sharks with the pack of forwards they have should not be struggling to win matches
They need to take a long hard look at themselves
7 Jun 2011, 19:10 pm
Vrede, how can you say that the Lions with a team like that should have won more than 3/16.
They don’t have any big names (apart from Butch last few games). They play a very entertaining brand of rugby, but do not have a tight 5. Two honest flankers at lock, the Bulls 3rd rated hooker and 2 lightweight props. Despite this all, they entertain me much more than watching the Sharks typical dinosaur-Bulls rugby. I wish all SA teams could adopt that style of play, then maybe the Boks can compete against the All Blacks more regularly.
Maar nee, ons sal hoogskop en storm.

Keo, with his stilted yet menacing gesticulation, reminds me of that khaki clad motivational speaker in the Standard Bank TV ad a few years back who told us that African Wild Dogs go in “ferocious pursuit” of their prey.
7 Jun 2011, 21:07 pm
@UK Bok(UK Bok)-10: True. All that talk of Gumede’s chequebook was a lie. He hasn’t spent the way we want our sugardaddy to spend.
7 Jun 2011, 21:27 pm
If the Sharks played this backline they may stand a chance:
9 McCleod
10 Michalak
11 Mvovo
12 Lambie
13 Adi Jacobs
14 JP Pietersen
15 Terblanche
with
Jacques Louis Potgieter
Riaan Swanepoel
Louis Ludik
on the bench
Now thats a decent lineup:
also would be nice if they could have played this pack of forwards:
1 Beast
2 Bismarck
3 Eugen van Staden
4 Sykes
5 Hargreaves
6 Keegan Daniel
7 Willem Alberts
8 Kankowski
and on the bench
Jannie Dup
Craig Burden
Ross Skeate
Jacques Deysel.
That would be a good team.
7 Jun 2011, 21:28 pm
A chance of getting to the Super 15 final of course – pretty much a done deal they´ll beat the Lions.
8 Jun 2011, 08:08 am
These videos are awful!
Stick to writing articles guys….although those aren’t much better
8 Jun 2011, 10:05 am
@Slumtown(Slumtown)-2: then be a good housewife and change the channel
8 Jun 2011, 10:07 am
@President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-9: I like that … let’s look at the message
8 Jun 2011, 10:42 am
@keo(keo)-17: sadly guys are attacking before they have even tried to understand what ur saying
Have your say
