20 Aug 2011
MARK KEOHANE is backing the Boks to win on Saturday, but RYAN VREDE thinks the All Blacks will spoil the PE party.

MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day Newspaper, writes the Boks gained more the battle in Nelspruit. Rather a scrap than a sensational effort against a courageous but limited Scotland. The Springbok coaching staff gained more because of the struggle against Scotland and there certainly won’t be complacency against Samoa. South African rugby supporters tend to be reactionary and very different in their reactions every weekend. When New Zealand struggled to beat France in the first Test in Auckland and South Africa were brilliant in patches against Italy many on social networks expressed confidence ...

The Bulls are South Africa's best team and they proved it in Bloemfontein. The Cheetahs have been outstanding all season and they were as good on Saturday night as they have been at any stage. Still it wasn't good enough to beat the Bulls, who won 30-25 after leading 30-13 with 10 minutes to play. The Cheetahs finished brilliantly and deserved the bonus point, but the Bulls consolidated their top two league placing thanks to an imposing first hour. Pierre Spies was impressive as team and pack leader, Arno Botha was ever present and the No 9, 10, 12 Bulls axis of Francois Hougaard, Morne ... Read Article11 Jun 2013
Brendan Venter's appointment as Sharks Director of Rugby is a good one. But the decision to end John Plumtree's Sharks coaching tenure is not. Former Springbok and Italy coach Nick Mallett turned down an invitation for the role of Sharks Director of Rugby and Venter, formerly the head coach and Director of Rugby at Saracens, will start his job at the outset of the Currie Cup season. Plumtree remains the Super Rugby head coach until the end of this season's tournament but his contract has not been renewed. Plumtree is highly rated in Europe and will in all likelihood link up with a European ... Read Article8 Jun 2013
Rene Ranger was among the few highlights in New Zealand's 23-13 win against France in Auckland. The All Blacks led 17-10 at half time but France dominated field position for most of the match and enjoyed the greater quality in possession. However they couldn't translate the advantage in the set phase and at the breakdown into points. New Zealand defended well in a match of poor quality. France lead early through Wesley Fofana's try and it took Ben Smith's break to start up New Zealand's international season. Smith has been the form New Zealand back in Super Rugby and he looked a class ... Read Article27 May 2013
Kiwi Vern Cotter is Scotland's new head coach. Cotter will only take up the position in a year's time. He will see out his contact with French club Clermont. Cotter's appointment means that New Zealanders will coach Scotland, Ireland (Joe Schmidt) and Wales (Warren Gatland). New Zealander Robbie Deans has been at the helm of Australia for the last five years and current Blues coach John Kirwan coached Italy and Japan. Kiwi coaches have also been at the helm of Samoa and Fiji in recent years. 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 Article20 Aug 2011

a guy with small shoulders and a big belly should not be wearing ties like that…just creates a funny look.
19 Aug 2011, 12:45 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-41: is there any better reason to mention it then?
i certainly dont think so.
19 Aug 2011, 12:47 pm
This thread will get 500 posts.
477 of them about “THAT TIE”.
Some of the above posts very humorous.

How Short?
Too short to reach the damn door bell!”

@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-51:
And what’s with the PINK.
Is it Gaaay Pride Day in Cape Town?
19 Aug 2011, 12:50 pm
was great to see habanero smoking o’connor for pace last week but then he made the fatal mistake of passing to beast who believed that he was a winger and could outsprint everybody.
19 Aug 2011, 12:51 pm
@cane(cane)-57: its “salmon” lol.
19 Aug 2011, 12:51 pm
I think that tie screams “desperate” like the bokke dressing room comment
19 Aug 2011, 12:51 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-50:
Lumberjacks and pink ties.
Keo is right. Keep your backs to the wall.
19 Aug 2011, 12:53 pm
@rangerman(Dangerman)-59:
I forgot, everyday is Gaaaay Pride day in Cape Town.

@cane(cane)-61: HAHAHAHAHA!
19 Aug 2011, 12:56 pm
Predictions anyone? Or is that too much to ask for!
19 Aug 2011, 12:57 pm
Going with my heart this time:
Boks 19 AB’s 19
Keeping my cards close to my chest.
19 Aug 2011, 12:57 pm
i’ve only watched the video now…its a bit of a good cop / bad cop routine by mark and ryan….just when you think your safe and alls well..bamm! the other ffuckking cop hits you with some heavy sshit…

After winning the inaugural World Cup, hosted by New Zealand in 1987, the All Blacks have only made the finals once since, beaten in extra-time by South Africa in 1995.
Henry now sees a chance to atone for past disappointments and admits to still being haunted by the loss to France four years ago.
“Obviously it hurt, and still hurts,” he said.
desperation might just be the kiwis achilles heel again….ne pops?

Speaking of Pink Ties.
Big Hit will show up soon.

@we have it on good authority that on september 11, a legend will rise…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-66:
It is called putting all your eggs in two baskets.
19 Aug 2011, 12:58 pm
@Sony Bill Reyts the Boks chances(Gumboots)-64: Boks for a half-time lead is about the only solid prediction I can offer, full-time score will depend upon their fitness
19 Aug 2011, 13:00 pm
@Big Hit(Big Hit)-70:
Yeah a pity bonus points are not awarded for half time leads. We could have at least had one plus one by now.
19 Aug 2011, 13:01 pm
@cane(cane)-62:
wheeeewwwwww! i am lmao!…
19 Aug 2011, 13:02 pm
Has anyone got the latest Bok team? Is Brussouw in or did I dream somewhere that he got injured again? Final team plz dudes
19 Aug 2011, 13:02 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-67: perhaps, but the cycle was broken in 09, remember?
Id much rather talk about the possibility of it being 5 games straight against the ABs (no “barbarian” victory to count in there either)..
or it becoming 32-13 (though 31-14 still doesnt look good either, does it? )..
19 Aug 2011, 13:02 pm
@Sony Bill Reyts the Boks chances(Gumboots)-71: lol, SA should never have agreed to the addition of bonus points for the Tri Nations, they must have known it wouldn’t work in their favour
19 Aug 2011, 13:02 pm
Yes but what version of the hala will they do tomorrow?
And who will lead it?
Best haka leader still Rico Gear; moved like what looked like Bruce Lee at times
19 Aug 2011, 13:03 pm
@cane(cane)-62:
No only Thursdays! Every day is practice day though!
19 Aug 2011, 13:03 pm
More importantly, how about some score predictions for tonight. Will it be Lions by more than 10 or Lions by less than 10?
19 Aug 2011, 13:03 pm
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-76:
Is that the hala lulha or the hala haka?

All I know it is going to roar in Cape Town tonight and I’m a Province supporters. Lions by 13. Going with my head now.
19 Aug 2011, 13:07 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-78:
Are you off to Newlands tonight?
19 Aug 2011, 13:08 pm
@Sony Bill Reyts the Boks chances(Gumboots)-79:
Piri Weepu looks weird when he closes his eyes like that
Ali Williams has a 1 metre long tongue
Ive noticed in NZ they always use lots of microphones on field possibly to make the little ritual sound more imposing
19 Aug 2011, 13:08 pm
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-76: I believe they’re going with the full length hokey cokey tomorrow (you put your left leg, right leg, left arm and right arm in). SANZAR kicked four advertisers out to allow for this.
19 Aug 2011, 13:10 pm
@Sony Bill Reyts the Boks chances(Gumboots)-64:
19 – 10 or
19 – 13 or
22 – 17 or
22 – 20 to the boks…
19 Aug 2011, 13:10 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-74: i believe that every game between wc’s as well as tri-nations games in wc year should be treated like friendlies similar to football.
19 Aug 2011, 13:11 pm
@Sony Bill Reyts the Boks chances(Gumboots)-82: Sure am. Got Railway Stand tickets, level 2 under the overhang in case it rains.
19 Aug 2011, 13:11 pm
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-83:
Pretty much mate! Without any disrespect to the Moari gods, it is pretty funny to watch. Huge eyes – long tongues – fancy dance steps. Who do you think choreographs the different moves?
19 Aug 2011, 13:12 pm
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-83:
Peri is the best man to lead the haka.
Peri would not wear pink tie if he were colour blind.
19 Aug 2011, 13:13 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-84:
Does that one also have a ‘hoer-hoer’ part in it?
Talking of which, I think we need to ensure that our south african girls do not make contact with these strangers
19 Aug 2011, 13:14 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-87:
You must enjoy! Your Lions team are in the fast lane for sure.
19 Aug 2011, 13:14 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-86: wonder how friendly the locals will be after tomorrow nights game wink:
19 Aug 2011, 13:15 pm
@Sony Bill Reyts the Boks chances(Gumboots)-88:
Certainly not the WP/Stormers dancing girls
19 Aug 2011, 13:17 pm
@cane(cane)-89:
Tomorrow Peri will weep!!
19 Aug 2011, 13:21 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-87:
Look out for the ‘soet koejawel’ or ‘sweet guava’
It first smells bad but if letf unattended with time it becomes ‘sweet guava’
When you smell it, you will know …
19 Aug 2011, 13:21 pm
@cane(cane)-89: Wait till the first Willem Alberts hit if you want to see Piri’s wee poo.
19 Aug 2011, 13:21 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-92:
Howzit Pops! Your prediction for tomorrow?
19 Aug 2011, 13:22 pm
Did Mark loose a bet to wear that tie?!
Ryan, I gave up, someone needs to translate that into English, what language is that?
Heart says Black, head says Boks, GO BLACK!
19 Aug 2011, 13:24 pm
Later
