Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests. Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage. Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney. Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August. His injury means a likely Bok start ... Read Article18 May 2013
The Bulls scored a late try to secure a bonus point victory over the Highlanders at Loftus. The Bulls practically had the match wrapped at half time, leading 23 - 6 at the break before winning 35 - 18. Morne Steyn kicked 15 points in a match that was dominated by the physical men from Pretoria. The Highlander were full of running but lacked the basic handling skills to do anything with their possession. The first try of the match was scored in the opening two minutes, JJ Engelbrecht rounding off a well worked move. The second try was a bit more dubious. The Bulls turned over deep in their ...

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 Article27 Sep 2011

Hey Ryan, do you and Keo share a hotel room? Yum.

And what is with that vetgat baldy guy in the tracksuit? Can he not buy himself some horse hair and a pair of jean pants? That guy is the real chump in this movie.

@Ryan(Ryan)-6: is JC the unfortunate soul who has to be the camera man who records your bum chum encounters with Keo? Cruel dude, very cruel .
This movie was not as good as the biltong one 4/10.

@RL(RL)-8:
Agree. Poor video. Bad camera angle, Poor script. Unspontaneous. A kitchen sink comedy gone down the plug. Ryan is bright, but does not have comic timing nor satirical charisma. Go it alone Keo, when it comes to bef&cktness.
27 Sep 2011, 07:02 am
The Darren Scott reference is really old, it’s not funny, big or clever. Added to that, Ryan can’t even pronounce the word “kaffee” properly.
27 Sep 2011, 07:20 am
oh i thought the tale of 2 hookers were Keo and Ryan parade red light district??
27 Sep 2011, 07:23 am
Surely the authors in here have more ideas for articles ?? all we see is the same drum beaing beaten
Bissy vs Smit
It’s kinda stale now

Leave the comedy for Tervor Nova/Barry Hilton boys….
Shades in the shop…. Keo the smoothie.

Ryan, you must love the food here in New Zealand. Looks like your shirts don’t fit you anymore.
Mark, hiding pink-eye or nursing a hang-over? Nice sunnies.
27 Sep 2011, 08:20 am
I thought the two hookers, were Keo and Ryan

jeez guys……its just a bit of humour! Lighten up and get serious when appropriate! At least this clip put a smile on my face.
27 Sep 2011, 10:29 am
Ha ha! I thought that was pretty funny. Much better than the sterile sh_1t on NZ sites that sensor mild posts and display them a day later, if at all, long after the intrigue has passed. Go Ryan and Keo….more zany creative stuff please!
27 Sep 2011, 10:30 am

True!
I found it funny. Nothing wrong in giving these Keo columnists a bit of s%%t though.

Beginning to think they filmed a bunch of shorts in this shop before the RWC even kicked off and are just throwing them up to fill in slow days.
Amusing enough to be honest.

Skip, as in “skeep”, not “skuup” Ryan. “Skuup” is a reference to Ship Sherry. Wrong Skip.

Keo should not have zipped up the track suit top. It just doesn’t flatter him.

Dickinson quits refereeing

Sydney – Australia’s most celebrated referee Stuart Dickinson has announced his retirement, effectively immediately, at the age of 43.
According to the Australian Rugby website, Dickinson was in charge of an Australian record 47 Test matches after controlling his first international in 1997 when Tahiti played Papua New Guinea in a Rugby World Cup qualifier.
He went on to referee at the highest level of the game for 15 seasons, officiating at three Rugby World Cup tournaments – the 1999 event in Wales, 2003 in Australia and 2007 in France.
He also had the honour of winning the inaugural Referee of the Year Award at the annual John Eales Medal evening in 2009 and again in 2010, as well as the Super Rugby Australian Referee of the Year award on a record seven occasions.
Dickinson started refereeing at the age of 12, while he was also playing fly-half and fullback for Epping Boys High School.
He has been employed as a full time referee with Australian Rugby Union since 1997 and also controlled 98 Super Rugby matches – an Australian and tournament record.
Australian Rugby Union Managing Director and CEO, John O’Neill, paid tribute to Dickinson.
“Throughout his career at the international level, Stu was among the best referees in the world,” said O’Neill.
“His ability to control a match with empathy for not only the laws of the game but the spirit of the game was a feature of his time in the middle.
“The achievements he has collected over a long period of time, after refereeing his first Test at the age of just 29, are testament to his ability and his commitment to refereeing.”
Dickinson said he had thoroughly enjoyed his career in refereeing and the journey it had taken him on.
“It’s not often people get to turn their hobby into a career and for that I am eternally grateful,” Dickinson said.
“To have been able to travel the world and take the field with some of the best players the game has ever seen has been a huge honour.
“I want to thank my wife Fiona and our three children Michael, Emily and Isabella who have been incredibly supportive, understanding and patient over the course of my career and I look forward to spending more time with my family in the months and years ahead.
“I also want to thank the ARU and my Australian and international colleagues, the camaraderie and friendships I have made over my time in the game will be truly cherished.
“My decision to hang up the whistle I believe is the right one, as I now have a good opportunity to move into the commercial world and leave the game feeling as though I’ve achieved all I set out to achieve.”
Dickinson has completed a Masters Degree in International Sports Management through Southern Cross University.

whoohooo – some nasty beaitches on Keo. Now I disagree with a lot of what the Keo guys say – but no need to get so personal. Lol. Aiii Mark what have you created here?

That’ll be the next headline to feature a SA journalist -
“Keo tossed by drunken englishman”
27 Sep 2011, 13:47 pm
F0kkit that must be the WORST attempt at a “funny” video I have ever seen!
Also the repetition of the “thats kaFEE Darren Scott” joke was cringeworthy.
You 2 are acting like d00ses, carrying on and on about Smittie and Bismark. Back in 2008 we NEEDED Smit back as Capt.
PDiv OBVIOUSLY thought about it because he tried to move John to Prop. It didnt work, and all of us were calling for the experiment to end.
In 2009, Boks were winning everything, no one wouldve changed a thing
2010 started the same – finals and winning S14 was all-SA. We smashed France and all looked good. The Boks obviously felt it was to try and take the next step in their game. They tried a different type of game in 3Ns and it was only then – in 2010 – that the wheels came off a bit.
By middle of 2010 it is too late to try and re-make a team for a World Cup defence guys. If they had done it we wouldve all b1tched and moaned about it.
Plus (as Mallet found out) you dont mess with your Captain so close to a World Cup.
27 Sep 2011, 14:31 pm
Another polished product for your portfolio, Ryan!
Not (as the younger generation would have it).
In all seriousness, I’ve seen more impressive Standard 5 vidoe projects. Seriously bad, Ryan, probably your worst ever (and that’s saying something).
Finally, it’s “Sunlight”, not ‘Sunshine”.
You didn’t get paid for this ****, did you??????

Jissus, but Mark Keohane is short.
Suddenly a lot of stuff makes sense…
