Willie le Roux and Lappies Labuschagne have finally been rewarded with spots in the Springbok training group. They are two of eight that are first timers in Springbok training groups this year. The others are Gio Aplon, Trevor Nyakane, JJ Engelbrecht, Lionel Mapoe, Wiehahn Herbst and Demetri Catrakilis. The group of players will assemble in Durban for the second training camp of the year, before the final squad for the Incoming Tours is selected. Players not considered due to injury include: JP Pietersen, Jaco Taute, Frans Steyn, Johan Goosen, Duane Vermeulen, Pat Cilliers and Frans Malherbe. ... Read Article22 May 2013
Ryno Benjamin brought in ahead of Raymond Rhule for Port Elizabeth clash. Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has kept the rest of his team unchanged, hoping the momentum from the Reds victory will lead them to a win against the Kings. That does mean that Burton Francis remains out of the match 22, Elgar Watts continuing ahead of Riaan Smit, who is on the bench yet again. Willie le Roux and Lappies Labuschagne will use this match to show why they have been included in the Springbok training squad. Both will be pushing hard to be among the final names for the upcoming Incoming tours against Italy, ... 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 Article30 Jun 2011

The first keo video i have actually enjoyed, nice work
29 Jun 2011, 15:53 pm
Also as far as these stormsaders go, really don’t care if someone decides to support another team. What annoys me is the way they behave at the stadium (booing when the stormers flyhalf kicks) and also thinking that apartheid is still going on. retards and yobs
29 Jun 2011, 15:53 pm
@trollZA(trollZA)-1: I havent seen it yet.
Does it contain explicit nudity?
29 Jun 2011, 15:54 pm
@trollZA(trollZA)-2: Who booed Morne Steyn at Newlands?
29 Jun 2011, 15:55 pm
@Taahirah(Taahirah)-3:
Dwarf nudity has been banned un the Cape
29 Jun 2011, 15:58 pm
not gonna lie. Keo, you had me in stitches
29 Jun 2011, 15:58 pm
ahhhhhh toughies Stormers the KISS OF DEATH has been laid on you
29 Jun 2011, 15:59 pm
Haven’t watched the video yet, but the title suddenly got me thinking:
How come the Crusaders are allowed to use that name in this day and age? Is it just because they’re Kiwis who are so warm and fuzzy tolerant and peaceful as a society?
Because if some American or European nation – and probably a South African team from a traditional white culture chose such a name – it wouldn’t be two minutes before all the radical lefties start proclaiming them racist, colonialist and discriminatory against Muslims who suffered during the real Crusades.
Heck, I just read today that Snorre and Hoskins couldn’t even visit the Holy Land in Israel for private reasons before the very same Cape Crusader fans went blue in the face accusing them of supporting Israel over the peaceful, pacifist and loving Palestinians.
Now Hoskins and Snorre need to make another trip – this time to Palestine – at SARU’s expense and go do some rugby coaching to Hamas and Fatah, just to show that they aren’t expressing favour to the Israeli side of this globally significant conflict.
As if Snorre or Regan could somehow sway world opinion on the matter.
So to come back to my question – how is it that the Kiwi Crusaders have never so much as drawn a single bit of criticism for their choice of name, when it is treated with so much controversy elsewhere?
Heck, it is a huge irony that the very ex-SARU members who moaned about Snorre and Hoskins’ trip to Israel are the ones who support this team of “Crusaders” with gap toothed abandon every time they visit Newlands.
What a laugh.

a plea from his heart not his a$$. Keo, you are one of a kind
29 Jun 2011, 16:08 pm
stormers by 10
my call on Bru as well
Reds by 12
but praying for an upset Blues win
29 Jun 2011, 16:10 pm
The only way that those StormSaders are gonna be silenced is if the Stormers win. Otherwise it’s gonna be another Kiwi parade outside.
@Keo:
Don’t take your frustration out on the Crusader players. It’s not their fault that the Capetonians support them so fanatically. And you can’t expect them to blow the fans off. They’re ignorant of the background and history surrounding the situation and are glad to have fans wherever they go.
I feel like the Cape media is blowing the StormSaders out of proportion. This website to. I’m not saying that it’s not an interesting issue, but this game is possibly the game of the season and has so many great match ups and factors
SBW vs JdV
Flo vs Richie McCaw
Grant vs Carter
Aplon vs Guildford
Elstadt vs Thorn
The list could go on. Don’t let the bitter StormSader idiots ruin the build up for an awesome game of rugby.
29 Jun 2011, 16:17 pm
third time I watched it… ah Keo, pitty you used the F word, otherwise I could have put it on the guys’ fan pages
29 Jun 2011, 16:20 pm
@Caper(Caper)-11: yes…
I agree
fans can do whatever they want in terms of who they support.
You not going to change fans minds by being confrontational.
Stormers need to do there best on the field….a good win will attract more fans….
29 Jun 2011, 16:26 pm
@grant10(grant10)-13: but I am kind of hoping that because tickets went on sale so early, there will be most Stormers supporters at Newlands on Saturday…. HI GRANT
29 Jun 2011, 16:26 pm
@grant10(grant10)-13: Not to say that the StormSaders don’t irritate me, but as do the Bulls fans when the Bulls beat the Stormers.
If StormSaders did not exist the talk of the week would have been about the promising game and match ups.
29 Jun 2011, 16:29 pm
@SpringbokSarah(SpringbokSarah)-14: hi Sarah
How is my main man Luke?
He should of been in the Stormers squad this week!
@Caper(Caper)-15: Fans pay the gate fee, let them decide…..
Both sets of fans must just not cause trouble…..
29 Jun 2011, 16:30 pm
@Caper(Caper)-15: everybody irritates me when they beat the Stormers
29 Jun 2011, 16:30 pm
@grant10(grant10)-16: he’s all good
lol I said exactly the same thing!
29 Jun 2011, 16:31 pm
not ONE sbw article this week?

@Transformation(Transformation)-19: I am so sick of him, it’s not even funny
29 Jun 2011, 16:36 pm
@grant10(grant10)-16: And booing is part of the game. Rugby fans don’t get close to soccer fans’ jeering and booing, anyway. Booing is just a part of home ground advantage and it is inevitable.
A few years ago the Newlands announcer would always announce something like, “Please keep quiet during goal kicking… show your respect Newlands… be a supporter in the spirit of the game…” I was always amazed that he (or the Newlands administration) actually thought that they could shut up 50 000 fanatic sport fans! It’s part of sport.
29 Jun 2011, 16:49 pm
CapeCrusaders are bunch of plebs with ego issues, they refuse to support losing teams, you would find them supporting the Crusaders, man u or liverpool, ferrari or any other succsefull brand. These plastic supporters should be looked down on with pity and sympothy. Let’s not talk to much about them because they like the spotlight, rather make a donation towards imadoosofnote.pleb!
29 Jun 2011, 16:50 pm
All donations will go to dennis the dentist that will assist with getting these animals some front teeth so that they can whistle and not booooo!
29 Jun 2011, 16:54 pm
I’m an All Black supporter but I do not understand the booing of any team ever! It’s a function of upbringing, this is rugby we are not football hooligans.

@RugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-23: And you say the cape crusader supporters haven’t moved on? Wow! And yet you fail to see how those people still see the racial discrimination when you espouse such views.
29 Jun 2011, 16:58 pm
Grief
This video is enough to make me support the Crusaders.

Lelik!
Altwee!
29 Jun 2011, 16:59 pm
@RugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-23:
Shut up
29 Jun 2011, 17:00 pm
@ pompies, what I’m saying is go make a donation at the website I have given so that Dennis can get them some front teeth. Nothing racial, I don’t think… Ha ha ha
29 Jun 2011, 17:04 pm
@ dawn, only if you go make me salad, I’m hungry! I’m outa here, lata keolings
29 Jun 2011, 17:06 pm
What I’m hearing, as coloured person with my own teeth, is that you’re a racist bigot, who still prefers life in the volkstaat.
29 Jun 2011, 17:07 pm
@ pompies, I’m also coloured with my own teeth, wow ur playing the race card on one of your own! Ha ha ha
29 Jun 2011, 17:14 pm
Wow, a coloured with a superiority complex.
29 Jun 2011, 17:19 pm
the farken worlds gone mad i tell you!
29 Jun 2011, 17:31 pm
Why is no one asking about the Black supporters of the All Blacks and the Crusaders?
29 Jun 2011, 17:33 pm
Why are we marginalised? There are a hell of a lot of us breathing and cheering! We are not booing anyone though!
29 Jun 2011, 17:35 pm
********************************************************************************
A WORD FROM RUGBY GENIUS
*********************************************************************************
My Oupa could tell me that a lion cannot lie down with a springhaas.
These Crusaders are tearing our nation apart. We cannot support for them.
You see today my son had a fight with his best friend for 12 years. The friend have this poster of Sonny Boy Williams & My son took a pen and paint a moustache on Sonny Boy’s face.
Now a big problem and they fight.
Look at this now . We cannot allow this negativeness to happen in rugby.
The simple answer is for all of us to unite ne ?
We must get behind our AC.
Get behind our Stormers.
And most importantly give our undying love to SARU.
VIVA SA VIVA
*************************************************************************************

@ ‘rugbygenius’ don’t 4get we all have 2b behind Earl Rose because he is the future and a god given talent! Ha ha ha
29 Jun 2011, 17:45 pm
@RugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-37:
Ja and also support our Earlie.
You see how he is being carefully managed. They don’t want to play him too much because then the Kiwi and Aussie teams can have some video tapes of him.
29 Jun 2011, 17:55 pm
Keo calling it for the stormers… Kiss of death.. I would like to see the stormers in the Final but after that rant from that funny looking ou with the big head and the other coloured chappie, Ryan, I am two minded… Fk I never knew Ryan was coloured..Does he know he does not qualify for the Nazi inner circle

Idiot
No better than that slime rugby guru
29 Jun 2011, 18:36 pm
These Cape Coloured supporters aren’t worth the bandwidth they been given here on this website.
It’s an obvious ploy for hits.
Leave them. Ignore them if they irritate you, keo and reyhan.
Concentrate on your jobs. Rugby.
29 Jun 2011, 18:51 pm
@ Dawn, oh pls, go get urself a sense of humour and where is my salad, do u have any idea how hungry I am? Dawn always have negative comments if your opinion differs, a real groupie that one…

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-8: what about Durban Crusaders, the club team?
The word “crusade” can also mean “any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea, cause, etc. i.e. a crusade against child abuse.”
In this sense it doesn’t have religious connotations and I’m sure it is in this sense the Crusaders rugby team will tell you their name stems – a vigourous defence/advancement of their Super 15 challenge.
A number of worldwide teams use the same name, including:
Crusaders Rugby League, a Welsh rugby league club (formerly the “Celtic Crusaders”).
Crusaders (rugby) (formerly the Canterbury Crusaders), a rugby union team from New Zealand
Durban Crusaders, a South African club rugby union team
Western Crusaders, a rugby union team from Fiji
Crusaders F.C., an association football team from Northern Ireland
Valparaiso Crusaders, the sports teams of Valparaiso University
Crusaders, the sports teams of the University of Dallas
Holy Cross Crusaders, the athletics teams of College of the Holy Cross
Canisius Crusaders. the athletics teams of Canisius High School, Buffalo, NY
North Greenville Crusaders, the athletic teams of North Greenville University, Tigerville, South Carolina
Harlequins Rugby League, an English rugby league club once known as “London Crusaders”
I don’t think it’s a big deal at all.

@RugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-47: run coconut forest run!!
29 Jun 2011, 19:21 pm
I hope the Stormers shut these despicable traitorous Stormersaders up big time.
And seeing as only 2 home semis have ever been lost in 16 years of Super rugby, the Stormers have a good chance of doing just that, with a po*sklap to spare.
