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 Article8 Jun 2011

@Dusky(Dusky)-98: No, I reckon the Bulls will do it (not by much though). My comment was more directed at the Stormers lifestyle choice.

Top 8 after this weekend;
1. Reds
2. Crusaders
3. Stormers
4. Sharks
5. Blues
6. Bulls
7. Waratahs
8. Highlanders
Problem is next weekend – the Waratahs are in a strong position to either displace the Bulls (less likely) or the Sharks (more likely) in the top 6.

As long as you don’t have a pair of those jeans with the zipper in the back and the knee pads that they only sell in Cape Town, then you will be fine.

Hahahaha that was a funny clip guys! Well done. Ryan I take back all the jokes Ive made about your writing – anyone who thinks Wynand is going to “test Jean De Villiers all afternoon” is clearly delusional and therefore can write anything they want!

Keo calling a Stormers win is dangerous. Kiss of death stuff.
8 Jun 2011, 12:32 pm
Started watching and switched off pretty promptly thereafter.
Heart says Stormers, head just doesn’t know. Will wait for the Stormers team sheet before making the call.
Grant coming back from injury was very ordinary against the Chiefs and hasn’t played since then, so I’m concerned about the idea of starting with him. But when you look at the back-up options, it’s not much better. Taking nothing away from Coleman who is a massive prospect, the Bulls are a somewhat different prospect to the Rebels.
And I think the Stormers physically will be more drained than the Bulls simply because they’ve just toured.
It’s a big game.

I find it strange that bloggers have a big issue with Keo TV – Surely no- one is forced to do anything – not watch the video, or read the blogs. Clearly Keo has achieved the probable objective of eliciting huge debate. I do believe that playing God at flyhalf is pushing it a bit!!

Listen- with all due respect, your boys have taken more f***ings than any other side this year Katman, so I wouldn’t be making too many “subtle” lifestyle jokes

i have to make my Sb predictions , just cant get one done for the STormers / Bulls match

Nice of Keo to give one of his minions some air-time on KeoTV.
Well done Ryan.

@Vetkoek(Vetkoek)-109:
According to this afternoon’s Argus:
Jantjes, Aplon, de Villiers, Fourie, Habanna, Coleman, January, Harris, Fourie, Blaauw, Burger, Bekker, Elstadt, Louw , Vermeulen..
Bench : de Jongh, Duvenhage, Malherbe, Kitshoff, Koster, van Zyl.Liebenberg.
I am a bit surprised that Fourie has been selected ahead of Liebenbergh, otherwise as expected.

@Vetkoek(Vetkoek)-111: That’s offensive. None of those times were consensual. We were violated.
