Jean de Villiers will be given the rest of the week to recover in time to face Samoa in Pretoria. Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer wants his captain to lead the side in the Boks final international of the month. If De Villiers does not recover from the chest injury, Jan Serfontein will start at inside centre. Morne Steyn again starts ahead of Pat Lambie. Willem Alberts will also be given the next 48 hours to prove his fitness. Adriaan Strauss retains the run on No 2 jersey while Bismarck du Plessis is nursed back after nine months out of the game. Boks - 15. Willie le Roux, 14. Bryan ... Read Article1 Jun 2013
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 Article19 Sep 2011

Capo could never be a pikey.
They love their dogs too much to fuckthem.
Poops shows a lot of potential though.
Just saying.

@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-298:
Disrespecting? I actually enjoy it a lot. Simply pointing out that it’s not as great as you think. Like I said, can I arrange for you to come over and speak to some Chinese people that live here? They have it about as good as the Indians do in Australia.
A great democracy yes… but when your Prime Minister gets accused of racism for not saying ‘Kia Ora’ during an opening ceremony speech… that should tell you everything you need to know.

Wallabies legend David Campese tells Quade Cooper to rein in his style of play as Australia teeter on edge
By staff writers
FOX SPORTS September 19, 2011 3:01PM
Wallabies legend David Campese has criticised Quade Cooper’s chancy style of play and his ability to stand up under pressure as Australia’s Rugby World Cup 2011 campaign teeters on the brink.
Campese blamed a lack of leadership and teamwork for the 15-6 World Cup loss to Ireland on Saturday and the exhilarating Cooper was at the heart of his concerns.
“They thought it was going to be a lot easier than it was. Quade Cooper, I don’t know. I don’t know what he’s doing – every time he got (the ball) the crowd booed him. These flick passes, they work for Sonny Bill Williams, but it doesn’t work for certain people,” Campese told New Zealand’s Radio Sport.
“Under pressure, you want people in positions that can control the game and be smart about it. These guys weren’t smart at all.”
The unpredictable Cooper needs to get back to basics to put the Wallabies back on track, according to Campese.
“People have got to realise that I was a winger, so I was the last man on the line to try things,” he said.
“He’s a playmaker so he’s getting the ball all the time. I don’t think he understands the position sometimes, he thinks he can do a lot of things and he’s got to realise a No.10 normally is the big go-to man.
“When you’re under pressure you get the ball and kick it down touch like Dan Carter does. On the weekend I was watching and Cooper got the ball and just wanted to try everything himself. You can’t win a World Cup if you play like individuals, you’ve got to play as a team. Unfortunately the Wallabies on Saturday didn’t look like a team.”
Leadership, too, was lacking in Robbie Deans’s side and the coach wasn’t spared in Campese’s honest assessment.
He also rubbished suggestions that the Wallabies would need to temper their game plan to suit difficult conditions in New Zealand.
“You’ve got a Kiwi coach, Robbie Deans, coaching them – so he should know what the weather’s like.
“He should understand the conditions and the way it’s played. And that was his 50th game for Australia, so it’s not going to be a memorable day for him.
“The players obviously aren’t listening, or he’s not giving them the right advice.”
Deans now has an unenviable win-loss record (28 wins, 21 losses, and one draw), including losses to Samoa, Scotland and Ireland.
“I suppose the unfortunate thing for the Wallabies is we’ve got him until 2013,” Campese said.
“(ARU boss) John O’Neill in his wisdom signed him up, so what happens if we go out in the quarter-finals? We’re stuck with the guy for another couple of years.”

It didn’t go down well with me considering about 1% of the population actually speak it. So what was the point? Do you speak maori? Do you have any interest in learning to speak it?

I’d give up if I were you Hendrik.
You’re obviously doing the Keo equivalent of taking a knife to a gun fight. You’re being decent and trying to have a conversation, Capo and Poops are putting words in your mouth and twisting everything you are saying to meet their own agendas.
You’re giving them the stick to hit you with, unscrupulous people do that. Stay decent.

Kia ora.
What do you know of Afriforum? What is your perception of them?
You can’t always believe everything you read in the international media about South Africa.
The same as I won’t believe everything I’ve read about New Zealand.
Never rely on hearsay.
And by the way, you’re swimming in the dirty ditchwater again.

I must say, I did have a chuckle.
I’m not too sure that greatest13gerber was very happy when he arrived in the Land of the Silver Cloud and reported for his first shift as Senior Surveillance Officer – only to find that he had to perform the haka on parade?

@poppa69(poppa69)-300: that would have defeated the purpose of actually emigrating to nz.that would basically admitting that black culture is superior to afrikaner culture.his afrikaner mom probably had a right royal fit over it hence the teacher’s apology.i suspect that hennie’s family never realised that there were black people in nz when they arrived there all those years ago.

Campese not so complimentry of Dingo hahahahahaha john o’neill is going to deal with this miscreant chop chop

19 Sep 2011, 16:00 pm
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-312:
LOL, as I said earlier, I think the haka is a great thing but the overexposure is getting a bit much. It does seem to have lost a bit of it’s special appeal in a rugby context, but maybe just to the 3N rivals who see it an awful lot these days
On the other hand, it’s all about money I guess and you can’t blame the politicians for making some dosh out of the mugs, errr, tourists sorry

@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-320: truly sorry to hear about Gunthers father….am going through a similar thing myself and dont wish it upon anyone…
but that aside, Gunther knows where he stands with me, and I with him…best to humour him though, like katman they think theyre funny…
even when they try to hide their obvious afrikaner tendencies…
19 Sep 2011, 16:02 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-320: I am sure Gunther will have an appropriate come back and can look after himself but “Nice”… You farken squirt… But hey this is your only way to grasp something that you obviously can never get, or have ever experienced, other than to rip the wings off a fly or torture a cat… A smidgen of power.
Now just go away. You contribute sweetfarkall here.

Capo at least I know who my father is my little poodle fondler.
And as for Poops he still thinks paedophile jokes are funny.
Let’s hope god does the world a favour and he never has children.
You two halfwitted halfbreeds deserve each other.

There was a pink poodle named Fifi,
Who one day went outside for a weewee
But she just didn’t count on
