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 Article27 Jul 2011

ask you boy with the scoop keo, he will tell you rassie was THE expert that worked with the boks over the tri-nations when jake was getting klapped 33-7 by the all blacks with his 2nd stringers. rassie was doing the same job he is doing now and eddie jones came in to oversee it’s implementation as white knew he was in way over his head…otherwise he would’ve gone to the world cup alone
i know all of this is not in your collection of vhs tapes

@keo(keo)-17: What’s a technical lesson? You’ve been shown to not know your arse from your elbow when it comes to rugby, so even if a technical lesson touched your sensitive bits you wouldn’t know.
Remember, you were always told what to say, not think the **** up.

@keo(keo)-17: Besides, since when do head coaches give technical lessons?
A bit of perspective…….Whan Proudfoot gave the stormers technical scrum lessons for 6 months, he couldn’t do squat when it came to his 8 scrummagers against the 8 of the crusaders.

Thought it might have been one of those ones which went over my head again.
27 Jul 2011, 15:47 pm
I completely agree with Keo on this subject. It has nothing to do with the fact that Rassie is coaching because PDV can’t. He was appointed to the Boks for a reason. He gives that extra insight, as well as extra input concerning the way the Springboks play. The situation is the same as when Eddie Jones was appointed.
If you look at our top players, and our top team, then you realize that this team IS good enough to knock anyone over in a one off game. Maybe it’s a good thing that the dirt trackers are doing their thing. By the time New Zealand face us in the Semi-Final, they will already have been practicing for the final, as they won’t regard us as anything more than a speed bump. Also, make no mistake, we WILL get to the semi-final.
The veterans we have know what it takes to win, and know that as a unit, they can break any team. If they are already working towards that goal, refining their game, as well as their tactics, then I don’t give a toss about what is happening with the dirt trackers. Thanks Keo!

Oh please, this whole thing is blown up! We all know that pdivvy is not a coaches asss worth! Rather write a story about john smit fitness and form, I mean he is our captain! Go watch the try that aussie prop scored, look who is walking from aussies 22 meter line back to defend! Its so k@k funny!

@Blitzbok(Blitzbok)-42: read & weep
‘Not a lot differs in the role that I’m taking on now compared to what I did in 2007,’ says Erasmus. ‘In that Tri-Nations the top players didn’t go on the away leg and I worked with those guys for about a month in Cape Town while Jake was away. It will be similar this time, but that will be the only time you should see me on the field doing any kind of coaching.” rassie erasmus
bwahahahaha
27 Jul 2011, 16:00 pm
who actually ever thought that the players were not in rustenburg working on technical aspects?
that is my point withregards to this and the previous keo.co.za article.
was twakkie supposed to openly admit to the nz press that …”yes” this is a “B” team all the other players are back home preparing.Openly contravening SANZAR regulations?
Incedently….nothing is made of Henry resting key players and admitting the trinations counts for zilch this year.
very poor from this website
27 Jul 2011, 16:03 pm
oh….and if Butch hasn’t sorted his defensive technique by now…no amount of imput at this stage will help.
“Butch defends his channel like no one else in the game”…was Keo’s quote.
Only because the opposition don’t fancy having their head pulled off. Albeit, the yellow card is decent enough reward in many circumstances.

@Transformation(Transformation)-72:
I think its fair to say you won this one, Transie.
No need to rub it in!
27 Jul 2011, 16:03 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-71:
I meant more because PDV has the Tri-Nations to commit to, so he is not involved in the training camp. I don’t agree that PDV is a bad coach in a rugby sense, but I do feel that he gives the senior players way too much power. He doesn’t seem like the kind of coach that can take the Bull by the horns.
Streuli was too tough, PDV is too soft, and Jake White was somewhere in-between. I think Rassie will be the guy that helps the coaching team we have now to be ‘somewhere in-between’.

Keohane what the hell is wrong with you, yes it is good for the Boks to do a training camp at altitude …… but there you are talking about licking chicken bones while wearing a midget sized French top with a chicken logo on it ……. WTH is wrong with you capies, supporting the All Blacks and now the Frogs?
27 Jul 2011, 16:46 pm
Keo, i think you keoling with scott gibbs should have rugga talk show on TV, think it might be more watched than all out rugby, you can have live threats during the show that appears on the bottom of the tv, like 5fm with there show. Good idea?

The way KEO licked his hands and fingers looks like he tucked in a few stray chickens.

At least a bit of humour and support from Keo himself.
Mark – tell Ryan Vrede (despite his surname he is trying to stir ontvrede!) to get off his Pulitzer-prize-winning-journalist wet dream and support what the Bok coaching staff (not just PDiv) are trying to do!

can we have a Keo.co.za iPad app or sort out Keo.co.za so it can be read properly on an iPad. its frustrating being on this website using the iPad.
Please though don’t put a photo of yourself until you have lost those 3 kgs…you won’t fit on 16:9 aspect ration!!!

Well the keo website numbers were down … and now a bit of a sensational story and keo himself even posting.
Have to get the numbers up, it’s all in the money. Just like SANZAR.

First of all this KeoTv concept is rubbish to be kind. The individual who are proponents of the snippets are pretty sh#t at it.Gte people who know TV,This sh#t makes SABC 2 rugga live look like brilliant television.
Rassie as head coach indeed isnt suited for the role, when he was head coach of Stormers they had a reasonable season in 08, fell off in 09 and when Coetzee took over they have achieved their best results. Even Drotske has achieve better results than Erasmus at Superrugby level with LESS talent.
Rassie is technical adviser,video analyst, strategy formulator. Rugby slowly heading towards NFL type system with defence/offensive co ordinators, special teams coaches etc etc…largely introduced by Woodward in 2003 campaign RWC
(Bill Bellichick of the New England Patriots prior to their dominance in early to mid 200o’s surrounded himself with the best young coaches as co ordinators-Mangini,MacDaniels,Saban,Crennel,Weis etc-so a smart man gets the best around him to build a team-before their Bok tenure Gold was seen as some kind of Forward Guru and Muir at Sharks was seen as a genius inventive coach after taking Sharks from Putt to championship contenders, now its Rassie to contribute to Bok cause & Niebauer on defense…PdV is preparing to give us the best shot possible.Im in no way professing he is the Bellichick of rugby-even though Bellichick is known to be a bit “quirky” himself.)
Let him do what he feels is appropriate,its his head on the line. Better to fall by your own sword than some know it all journos who have nothing to lose but all the hyperboles/sensationalism to get hits for advertisers.
