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
Morne Steyn kicked 18 points to beat the Sharks and end the hosts Super Rugby play-off aspirations. The Sharks looked to have conjured up a remarkable victory when Charl McLeod scored and Pat Lambie converted in the 75th minute. But within two minutes the Sharks were guilty of a lineout infringement and Steyn punished the lack of discipline. The Sharks had opportunities to sneak the victory in a frantic finish but lacked the decision-making to turn a possession and field position advantage into victory. The Bulls, thanks to Steyn's kicking, consolidated their position at the top of the ... 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

THAT’S IT MAN, THAT’S FUCKINNG IT. I’VE HAD ENOUGH.
I’M SO ANGRY I’M PUTTING MY CAPS LOCK ON.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DON’T MAKE ME USE BOLD AS WELL.

@poppa69(poppa69)-243:
Considering how many Afrikaners are in New Zealand, you better get used to us quickly. We come over here to work, so morons like you can earn minimum wage working at an unneccessary job created by a Labour Government who looks after the uneducated, or sit on the dole. Either way, we could care less whether you like us or not.
19 Sep 2011, 15:03 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-243: if you look at jockbok’s taliban outfit on facebook you can see why he believes he is such a warrior on keo.co.za.his afrikaner father in law had successfully indoctrinated him.
19 Sep 2011, 15:04 pm
Transie, slumtown, and hendrickp: all I’m saying is that the WC is in NZ, they believe throwing the haka around is a further provides this WC with a real NZ accent. Puffy recently was made an honorary Maori, he may feel that he has been out haka’d and it’s not even the knockout stages yet but he should not have had that outburst in a public forum. It comes across in distaste.
19 Sep 2011, 15:05 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-252: shame you bring your racist attitudes with you… did you have to leave SA quickly so as not to be caught and punished for your crimes against humanity?
complaining about people IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY enjoying and displaying their culture is a bit rich..
harking for the good old days of yesteryear are we?
19 Sep 2011, 15:05 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-244:
That’s what i’m saying as well, you can’t judge a player completely against lower rated opposition but there is still a job that needs to be done so in the context of that and an eye of how these players can improve I feel Du Preez did well.
He’s not at his best yet and he wasn’t expected to be at his best but his improvement is in line of what his coaches would’ve expected from him.
Of course we as fans can’t wait to see him snipe again or do the unexpected by stealing down the blind side when the opposition is sleeping. Those things will come later in the tourni.

Backs up me theory on racism in New Zealand. One of the most racist countries in the world, they just don’t like to admit it. Only have to look at how Chinese people are treated. They get intimidated by you lot because they speak with an accent? In the mean time they’re well educated and drive your economy. New Zealand would be nowhere without immigration.

@mpundulu(mpundulu)-254: Agree again Mpundulu. Out haka´d? lol Personally I dont care how many hakas they do this tournament. its their day let them have it. Moaning about it by bloggers here and PDV is just silly. Theyre showing a lot of pride in Maori culture which is cool. I say Haka all you like. Brown fellas or no Poopstah
19 Sep 2011, 15:08 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-250: your government should really address that -afrikaner problem’ in your country.that afrikaner ‘things’ will make nz less attractive to visit in future.
19 Sep 2011, 15:09 pm
@hendrikp(hendrikp)-257: racism in NZ? must be all the many SA immigrants, they seem to have experience and a thirst for it.. having of course escaped the country where they used to be able to practice it with impunity…
A SA talking aout another country being racist…. now thats sick…
19 Sep 2011, 15:09 pm
I see that neither Poppa nor Tecumseh have any decent retorts to the posts I made in response to the racism. How odd.
19 Sep 2011, 15:09 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-255:
Haha how was that racist? I simply called you a moron.
And NZ being uneducated has nothing to do with me. Not my fault that chilren aren’t disciplined at an early age, and large amounts don’t even finish NCEA L1. Then you send them to Weltec where they copy the answers into a text-book and hand them a certificate, pretending that makes them more employable.

@poppa69(poppa69)-255:
I’m more then happy to see the Haka, when it’s done before rugby games or at welcoming ceremonies… but like I said, this is overkill. Don’t put words in my mouth, because I never said that I have a problem with it being done.
No other country in the world forces performances like that down your throat everywhere you go. Simple as that. The novelty has worn off.

@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-270:
And you live here? You’ve experienced it yourself? Tell you what, why don’t I arrange a meeting for you with some Chinese people in Auckland? They can tell you all about how welcoming NZ is to foreigners.
19 Sep 2011, 15:18 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-271:
You’re like one of these old woman who set the remote to automatically change channel when the X certificate series starts, and the bombard the tv and newspapers with how disgusting and immoral the show is.
It seems like you only come here to be offended. I have to ask, why bother?
19 Sep 2011, 15:18 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-261: hennie will tell you now that his awb-loving and sa defence force mother left sa when he was 13 years old.he is afterall a centre-rightwinger as he indicated on a previous thread.
19 Sep 2011, 15:18 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-267: I do that kind of thing all the time, bud. There are these four cute little Xhosa girls who dance here on St George’s Mall on week days. They have a couple of little boys who beat these big old drums. I support them with whatever change I have.
If I came across you, or any other Kiwi, performing such a dance for my amusement, I would not hesitate to open my heart and my wallet.
Tell you what – upload your haka to YouTube and I’ll send you something. Money, old clothes, canned food – you name it.
19 Sep 2011, 15:19 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-270: …simply sick of you trying to pretend you actually know something about anything… Now go apply some more “Oxycute them” to those spots…
19 Sep 2011, 15:19 pm
@JockBok(JockBok)-272:
Haha. Can imagine it would be overkill as well. Never been there luckily, and have no desire to ever go there
Thinking might do my OE to Ireland though, so might just find myself there one day!

@JockBok(JockBok)-269: Those Pikeys are a different sort though. I saw Snatch. Hippies are one thing, but Pikeys….

@hendrikp(hendrikp)-274: so leave the country then, you obviously dont like the comfort and security living there grants you… if you cant handle 6 weeks of impromptu hakas, which will revert back to very little AFTER the WC, then Id say NZ is not the place for you…

Fair enough, my last attempt at a gag then.

but how very noble of you to throw some coins at the disadvantaged..
did they get down on their knees and say thank you baaas? did you feel like that one little act of charity compensated for the many years of oprpression yourself and your forefathers bore down on these people?
19 Sep 2011, 15:24 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-276:
So when you’re an Afrikaner in the SADF, that means you vote AWB? I think you’d find a very small minority actaully caring much for them, so quit making presumptions.
And AWB-lovers would hardly leave the country they seem so determined to hold onto.

Safety and predictability is for p ussies. Just this morning I got an SMS informing me that my gun licences have been approved, after a process of about 2 years converting them.

They’re on tv now saying ‘we’ve got nowhere else to go’
Well sell your caravan love, use the money for a couple of months rent on a flat, and then get a faking job to pay the bills every month like everyone else has to.
Nah, looks like it’s all women and kids there, quite a peaceful place by all accounts. But it’s all those earth warrior tie-tied anarchists who have come to ‘defend’ them that I’d like to have a go at. Can’t stand the work shy hippy barstewards.
19 Sep 2011, 15:28 pm
@mpundulu(mpundulu)-254: “OUTBURST”??? you sound like you work in the saffa media industry chap…
now that PdV knows what the haka means and it’s significance he thinks – one is still allowed to think hey? – that it should be left for those sacred and important occassions like before the game and not on every street corner as that invariably – in his mind – takes a bit of the “specialness” away from it.

@poppa69(poppa69)-281: this is the problem with saffas all over the world.you find them in nz,aus,england and ireland mostly.they are mostly hardcore racists that left sa when the anc took over.on their arrival in these countries they expected the locals to be sympathetic to their cause or ant-black viewpoints.when the locals were not forthcoming they became disillusioned with those countries hence the bad-mouthing of countries like nz etc.they can’t or won’t return to sa because bad-mouthing nz etc is still a better prospect than living under a black government.at the end of the day right-minded kiwis like yourself are stuck with okes like hennie and others until your government sort out the ‘afrikaner problem’.

@poppa69(poppa69)-281:
Let me put it this way. When I started intermediate school I spent 2 hours a week having to do ‘Kapa Haka’. What a brilliant way of educating NZ youth. Another 2 hours having to do Maori lessons. Hmm
I went to Maths Extension during one of the Maori periods, and failed a Maori language test. As a result? Got pulled out of Maths Extension and verbally abused. Teacher ended up getting a warning for it, considering I’d only been in the country a few months.
Very welcoming, yes.

And what about my facebook offer, big mouth?

@JockBok(JockBok)-286: Yeah, I reckon Capo is a Saffa version of a Pikey… and Poops, the Kiwi version…
19 Sep 2011, 15:36 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-289:
That’s complete rubbish. Most Afrikaners fled corruption, one of the highest crime-rates in the world & Affirmative Action. Don’t make it out to be anything else.
Can you blame a family for leaving when the neighbours get tied up, beaten and raped? Or half the time murdered for no reason? Who wouldn’t leave if they have better oppurtunities elsewhere.
There are a ****-load of blacks and coloured South Africans in New Zealand as well. Why did they leave? Afrikaners leave because they’re racist according to you? But everybody else? Why do so many kiwis live in Australia or England?
If there are better oppurtunities elswhere, people will go. Not anything to do with racism.
19 Sep 2011, 15:40 pm
so, henniep got hauled over the the coals for disrespecting nz culture and now he has joined the perpetual liars on keo.co.za just to paint nz as a racist hell-hole?that is now very revealing and explains his unjust tirade against a great democracy like nz.
19 Sep 2011, 15:40 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-289: i can’t believe somebody actually wrote that. HG is right, you know literally nothing… you should consider stopping posting for a while.

having to learn Maori wouldnt have gone down to well with your Afrikaner parents would it?
