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 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

It’s kinda stale now

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.

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.

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.

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??????

Suddenly a lot of stuff makes sense…
