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 Article25 May 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

@poppa69(poppa69)-546:
Your point being?
I did a bit of research. According to wikipedia there was less then 10,000 people left in New Zealand in 1995 who could Maori. That’s roughly 1 in 400 by today’s population.
Then you consider that many of them were elderly. That would make that number closer to 1 in 800.
You want me to believe that you are a young male who speaks Maori against those odds? And refuse to prove it even though you’re more then happy to pull anything else out of your behind?
You’re a liar. Simple as that.
19 Sep 2011, 20:03 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-550: Yes, you thought it was a joke… Exactly my point.
Like you think some of the stupidity you have typed today is funny, competitive or in anyway likeable…
Exposed totally for what you are. There is no such thing as the “Pops” posters used to affectionately refer to…
I saw through the likes of you and Panty months back – you just proved me exactly right
19 Sep 2011, 20:04 pm
10000 people in 95, 110 000 in 2006.
obviously your education didn’t include simple mathematics did it?

@JockBok(JockBok)-541: Got to go Jock but I am observant.. the comment was tongue in cheek about Nazis and Nazi apologist. The latter are always hard to identify but here on Keo, the facades are easily removed..
Got to go

@JockBok(JockBok)-549:
It’s dangerous yes, but still correct. How else can you justify affirmative action, or refusing entry for whites to universities in favor of blacks who aren’t nearly as educated? They should be creating more oppurtunities for blacks, not taking those oppurtunities away from whites. Simple as that. Can’t blame immigrants for wanting out of a country that doesn’t allow them fair oppurtunities despite Mandela saying no race would ever be oppressed again, or calling themselves the rainbow nation.
In New Zealand for example they try to better educate Maori (with no huge success) by granting them far more scholarships and so forth. Not by telling the white kids they can’t go unless there’s a fair amount of Maori students also.
You can’t have someone like Malema threatening to take peoples land Mugabe style, and then say they aren’t trying to screw them. It’s a dangerous game to play, but one they’ll have to eventually.
19 Sep 2011, 20:09 pm
anyone want a laugh?
youtube flash haka and watch the fools dance lmao! (i swear i saw poppa, he was the one with no rythym)
these okes take themselves so seriously they deserve a hiding just to get a dose of reality.

@hendrikp(hendrikp)-551:
I’m not particularly sympathetic towards poppa, he can more than hold his own. What I object to is the dismissal of Maoris, the original colonisers of NZ (although only by about 100 years) as an insignificant minority. It’s no different to recent English immigrants to SA demeaning Afrikaners and their language. At least white Kiwis have acknowledged their past and embraced the Maori heritage as a significant part of their national identity.

@rangerman(rangerman)-556:
In their minds, they are a far bigger and more powerful country then in reality. And Maori are happy to force their culture down everyones throats, but assault the NZ Prime Minister because he is white up in Waitangi. They demand respect, but don’t give that same respect to anyone elses culture. Warning to all Asians especially. Unless you’ve got a strong personality, you’re better off in Australia.

did you think that it might be a little offensive to some…? Coz the haka ain’t a thing to make a mockery of. If my? mum saw me do the haka like that I’d cop a backhand across tha head. Like come on guys??
Ma0Rii 1 week ago 3
I understand that this was all done in good spirits but I’ve never been a fan of busting out a haka to? show off or sell a product – especially when people don’t even know the words or actions. It’s something that I feel is special to NZ culture and it’s getting banded about for the wrong reasons.

hmmm, so it seems divvy was on target again?
how many times must we see the kiwis stick out their tongues at us before we say something?
19 Sep 2011, 20:20 pm
@David(David)-560:
Fair enough. Maybe I’ve taken it a little far trying to pi55 him off, but didn’t exactly accuse Maori of being anything more then over enthusiastic about their own culture and disrespectful of others. I think you’d think most Kiwis would agree with that statement.
I was trying to point out the ‘victim complex’ that poppa & tecumseh seem to have going. Need to stop blaming others for their problems and realise the world is a hard place to live in.
19 Sep 2011, 20:21 pm
That’s life, it ain’t fair. It wasn’t fair for a lot of black folks, now it isn’t so fair for a few white folks.
Yes, we know the standards must rise and not fall, but how do you do that quickly and still please the voting public enough to keep your job as a politician?
Simple, you introduce a middle ground. AA and varsity places in the short term is just one measure.
Not good to lower standards, and especially not good if you are a white kid trying to make his way and you can’t get a job. But better for a black kid who’s parents don’t have the means to support him due to the inequality of the past and it’s the only way to uplift a whole family sometimes. Generally speaking, white folks have the support structure in place and an unemployed kid can be absorbed.
Simplistic yes, but any other suggestions are welcome of a way to regress the balance somewhat, but still keep the majority happy.
As I say, we all have a part to play and we must all do what we can for those less fortunate..
19 Sep 2011, 20:23 pm
How ironic that the two freedom fighters (capo and poopystain) taking on all the nasty racists are ther onlu two people to have dropped the K Bomb on this forum.
Ironic much?
Nom nom nom…
19 Sep 2011, 20:23 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-564:
Divvy had it 100% right. Like I said, many Maori would agree that it’s become far too much ‘for show’, that the novelty has worn off because it’s being performed far too regularly.
Poppa just has something up his behind that doesn’t make him see it. He probably thinks doing a haka at every street corner is going to bring the tourists back. In reality they’re going to go somewhere where they aren’t harrassed with a war dance every time they look up.
19 Sep 2011, 20:25 pm
@David(David)-560: well i dont know what i have stumbled into but white kiwis dancing around doing the hokey pokey in barcelona and such places is just pathetic really.
and disrespectful.
then again, we can all be mcdonalds burger eaters i suppose.
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-562: well its funny they dont like asians, they are asian, from taiwan originally.
how sad.
i dont know any maoris i just find the hokey pokey flashdance quite amusing (oooooooooooooooh, its meant to be scary i suppose, wonder how they would cope with an amaZulu impi?)

@hendrikp(hendrikp)-568: are people supposed to take pictures of this?
i would film it i suppose.
for educational purposes.
i would show my children how stupid you can look in public if you try hard enough.
p.s. didnt the maori eat everyone they could catch when they arrived in NZ?

Lot of visuals but no sound

@JockBok(JockBok)-566:
More money into education. Look at Ireland to see what throwing money at the problem, as well as managing it correctly can do. You’re never going to upskill if you’ve got youth coming through who still can’t read or write properly.
When that happens, then you can give them all equal and fair oppurtunities to get a higher education. No one needs to miss out unfairly.
At the moment it’s a case of trying to force the situation. It also means the standards are lowered. Universities have to pass a certian amount of students minimum… meaning they can all be thick and a large majority will still get through. When you have the best… then they will get the best education.
19 Sep 2011, 20:32 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-573:
They ate the Mori-Ori’s. They’d have you believe that the Mori-Ori’s are a fictional race created by the Europeans to justify their treatment of the Maori… but that’s a lie.
I don’t have any problem with the haka as a welcoming thing. It’s part of the culture and can actually be very entertaining. But like you said, when people do it who don’t know the words & can’t do it properly, they look foolish. If anything doing an impromptu haka should be frowned upon.

Revolting creature.
Are you working a double shift at the mall pondlife?
19 Sep 2011, 20:40 pm
@JockBok(JockBok)-566:
I think that SA whites don’t understand the advantages that they’ve inherited. A superior education system as a society: land ownership that gets inherited and the wealth (however small) being passed on. Most whites today are also ignorant of the labour act that confined black people to menial jobs with no opportunity to ever improve their lot in life.
As for AA at university, it’s a poisened chalice. The preference for blacks over whites doesn’t really extend to the professions that we need the most where there is a dearth of applicants of either race.
Where we’ve screwed up is in believing that a university education is the way to a successfull career, whereas the country is in dire need of artisans. Hell, I cringe every time I call the plumber.

They also ate the hearts of other strong warriors because they though it would make them stronger. And then they don’t appreciate the Europeans bringing civilization to the country.

your standard excuse “but a saffa insulted something nz first!” is so pathetic its infantile really.
but as you were you blerrie cannibal

You lying sack of pus.
Seriously you are lower than a rats testicles.
A disgrace to maoris everywhere.

When did I call it the Maori macarena? Not once! Go check.
If anything I’m standing up for your culture. I said it was taking away from the novelty of the whole ordeal by being performed by a bunch of clowns who don’t know what they’re doing. You then played it out in your head as a white man having a problem with the haka, or anything Maori, which is very untrue.
