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 Article19 Sep 2011

Poops
Your canoe has been holed below the waterline.
If you turn back now you can still make it.
Otherwise it don’t look good.

@poppa69(poppa69)-445:
Does anyone actually know the Maori language? I figured it was jibberish.
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-446:
I’d rather have a go with the sheep then meet poppa, but thanks anyway. As for my grandad… don’t hate on him because your grandad had to call him baas. He wasn’t a politician, he merely did the best he could with what he had.
19 Sep 2011, 18:01 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-447:
They have gone into defensive mode. They can’t argue the points they raised intitially so they start to insult everyone in posts to each other. It’s a mutual masterbatttttion session for dented ego’s.
19 Sep 2011, 18:03 pm
imagine henniep’s dad and grandad feeling very pissed with his tendencies.they probably feel that all those black beatings and killings were in vain seeing the way their son and grandson turned out.there goes the notion of afrikaner supremacy over blacks out of the freakin window.
19 Sep 2011, 18:03 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-449:
I was referring to you sucking up to someone who is clearly as dumb as you. The shameful thing is living in NZ you actually had plenty of oppurtunities to do well for yourself. Tecumseh was too busy blaming everybody else so missed out on those oppurtinities.
19 Sep 2011, 18:04 pm

It’s like one of those arranged sessions where you can watch the screen but not make any noises and have to keep your hands under the blanket. Halfway through they both get frustrated and just help each other out a tad.
19 Sep 2011, 18:09 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-452: sorry to disappoint you but my grandad never uttered those words to aryan scum like your grandad but i can see that you are longing for a return to those good days…at least you can stop bad-mouthing nz and return to sa soil.

@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-454:
There was never anything about Afrikaner supremacy from most Afrikaners. They voted for the party and system that gave them the best deal.
And they educated me so that one day I can tip you so your kids don’t go hungry. I’d call that supremacy yes.

Oh was he a freedom fighter was he? Blew up innocent people and so forth? Or did he not have a job and therefore no one to call baas?

These Keo hacks kill me. Ryan,2 things pal: 1st, there definitely wasn’t a “certainty” about the Bok’s journey in 2007. What are you talking about man? We all knew deep down we were pretty fortunate to escape Aus and NZ then and our form running into RWC 2007 was anything but hot. 2nd, your brilliant insight that everything has to click on the day for the Boks to be succcessful is genius, Pythagoras like and testament to your skills as an investigative sports journalist. You’re right of course, the Boks have no chance of winnning a QF or semi as the everything clicking on the day factor clearly doesn’t apply to either Aus or NZ. Don’t forget these are both teams who rely solely on the irresistably consistent skills of their players and their rock solid game plans. Nothing else! Do you actually rewind your tape or whatever you guys use and play it before you post? I said the other day to have a couple of cold ones, not drink the whole damned keg.
19 Sep 2011, 18:15 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-459: you could not even master a few words of maori you plonker but you want to educate people!very funny indeed.
19 Sep 2011, 18:15 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-461: surely with your maori teaching in school you could have substituted the word baas for rangatira?
19 Sep 2011, 18:20 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-464:
I prefer not to learn a dead language, but thanks anyway.
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-463:
Read above. Luckily in NZ though they don’t deny people entry to varsity without knowing Maori. I see your precious ANC cronies want to further screw over the whites by only letting them in if they know an African language. Makes sense. It’s never been about being equal. It’s about bringing the Afrikaners down to their level so they don’t look as bad.
19 Sep 2011, 18:23 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-465: a dead language is it? bwahaha I see youve learnt fokall about NZ in your time there..
why would they make school children learn a “dead language” as you so supremely put it?
still, remain ignorant… did you get beaten up by the maori kids at school for your funny accent?
19 Sep 2011, 18:26 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-465:
I can swear in Zulu. I wonder if that counts.
19 Sep 2011, 18:26 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-465: why not?maybe the next generation of afrikaners will learn to respect black people unlike the scum like like you hiding out in countries like nz.
19 Sep 2011, 18:27 pm
With Maori “teaching” HendrikP would surely know the true significance of these words…
Touch…(Pause) Mount… (Pause) Engage… ( the Baa- aa-aahs echo)
All preceded by the Tjeeptjagging Macarena, of course….
But his Maori “teaching” was somewhat deficient. Shame on you Hendrikp
19 Sep 2011, 18:28 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-466: that afrikaner accent is the stuff to make fun off.i would understand if he got a good maori beating because of it.
19 Sep 2011, 18:31 pm
just attempting to speak english with that afrikaner accent deserves a beating all on it’s own.
19 Sep 2011, 18:33 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-466:
Do you speak maori? When you are in a supermarket have you ever heard people speak maori to each other? Don’t lie now. They make children learn it because of a maori party that is assured of seats in parliament even if they don’t get a single vote. And to give the impression that they care about race relations of course. How many people do you know that speak fluent Maori? Please tell me.
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-467:
Not if your a white man. You can be a rocket scientist and they won’t let you in. That would mean educating another white man – the last thing the ANC wants.
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-468:
Respect? I respect people who work hard and educate themselves. You need to earn respect, not demand it. And apartheid happened in America as well. Difference is over there the blacks don’t play victim like you lot.
19 Sep 2011, 18:34 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-469: Yes, and Hendrikp can actually read… Truly deficient this teaching
19 Sep 2011, 18:38 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-470:
A good maori beating? I went to school with Europeans and asians mostly. Have you ever been to NZ? There aren’t many Maori’s just so you know. And I never got a beating from anybody. I was always a reasonable size for my age and got along with everybody. Thanks for your concern though
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-471:
Like I said, speak to a professional. I can’t help you with you wanting to play victim.
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-469:
I never quite understood why people had sheep in their backyards, and walked around with a scrum cap on. Makes more sense now
19 Sep 2011, 18:39 pm
Ryan, keo a week ago said the Wallabies should with the RWC. You okes are full of guessing. I’ll stick to what happens post the Samoa game and think if we improve that we can definitely roll the Wallabies over …
As for the ABs … well they still have to get past France this weekend …

19 Sep 2011, 18:41 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-473:
I made NZ’s education system work for me. Poppa had too many daddy issues to focus on his school work though – that and being too busy with the sheep sh@gging.
19 Sep 2011, 18:42 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-472: well, I used to listen to my grandparents speak it every day, so of course Ive picked a fair bit of it up… you obviously havent heard of Te Reo Maori?
I have plenty of relations who also speak maori fluently, but all you are doing is showing your complete ignorance… continue..
19 Sep 2011, 18:42 pm
@danuk(danuk)-475: Relax, cuzzie. Every time Keo.co.za backs someone…the mockers. Long may it continue.
19 Sep 2011, 18:44 pm
Also, dearest Ryan, having the best “players” in the world means sweet blue farkall if they don’t play as a team. I personally think Ewan McKenzie got more out of the Reds than Deans are getting out of the Wallabies, PLUS I think they are looking tired and might have peaked too soon. Most of the Wallabies have had a very long season and staying fresh and interested for 4-6 months is a very though ask.
I think our chances are good and hopefully with Frans Steyn and 12 our backline will be a hell or a lot more threatening. I hope we do well against Samoa, because if we have a solid showing against them then we will have a Wobblies for breakfast …
One more thing … I think we might get the local support, post Quade’s antics with Richie
19 Sep 2011, 18:44 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-478: really? bwahahaha and you know about my education how?
making assumptions again little dutch boy?
how very superior of you…
whats it like living in a country you despise? one where you have to share the bus or the train or your office with those who have a darker skin tone?
does it not upset you that there are no “whites only” areas?
it shows…
19 Sep 2011, 18:44 pm
@youknowwho(youknowwho)-477: Good to see you too, our fine resident QS…. Ready to take on the world again with your healthymagination?
19 Sep 2011, 18:48 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-480: lol, true, probably something I ate or maybe Ryan (Onte)Vrede’s face which upset me!
19 Sep 2011, 18:49 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-479:
So you speak it fluently or you don’t? You speak Maori to your parents? I didn’t think so fool.
@poppa69(poppa69)-482:
No problem. You are making assumptions again. Everywhere I’ve been I’d put Wellington on top of my favourite city in the world to live in. I haven’t got a problem with anyone that works hard for a living, or is at the very least educated.
I can tell by the way you carry on that you obviously went to somy Polytech where they gave you a hand-out (not an education).
19 Sep 2011, 19:00 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-485:
the only fool is yourself..
I went to Te Poho O Tipene for a few years, where we also learnt to speak Maori… but continue, just because you were too dumb to learn any of it, or too ignorant because it wasnt the white mans language, is your problem and yours only…
as for education, again your show your complete lack of one by again making assumptions on something you have no idea at all..
not very smart dutchboy, but then, Ive never known a smart Afrikaner..
19 Sep 2011, 19:01 pm
Poor langers so much kak to praat and so little time.
Are you sad you missed the england team’s dwarf tossing evening?
Not that anybody is going to be strong enough to to pick you up let alone throw you anywhere.
19 Sep 2011, 19:02 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-485: so run along now and keep hiding from your racist upbringing and ancestors…
shame you cant go back to SA, but then you probably dont want to spend years in the lockup like so many other innocents had to at the hand of your forefathers huh?

Sometimes I read my old posts and blog and find myself wondering how the fk I came up with those moments of brilliance
19 Sep 2011, 19:10 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-486:
So you speak it fluently? If your answer is yes you are a liar. Do you go into a shop and speak Maori to someone who looks Maori? It’s a dead language. Accept it.
And what education do you have then? I’ve never even heard of Te Poho O Tipene but I’m guessing it’s similar to the school from ‘Boy’. Did you go onto university then?
Judging by your schools name, I’m guessing you speak like that kid that shot his cousin in the head after saying “Bay I’ll shoot youse”.

@hendrikp(hendrikp)-485:
I felt that you were a far more balanced individual a few days ago, than you’re currently displaying.
The one thing I’ve learnt is that an education is no judge of a persons integrity or even their inellectual ability, as 40 years of apartheid proved. The germans and japanese were all educated nations, yet it did nothing for their decision making ability.
19 Sep 2011, 19:14 pm

your racist tendencies are there for all to see..
bet your mum and dad can finally be proud of you, what with your assumptions that I dont speak Maori… lmfao..
you claim to be educated yet you sit here and call me a liar when you STILL dont know if I speak the language or not..
now that is dutchboy stupid that is…
