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 Article24 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 Article30 Sep 2011

@reechie maak so lank die pan warm, bakkies bring die wors…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-99: yip – must confess…. they’ve got a “eating-culture” i struggle to “warm” to, they are taking over africa at a rate of knots!…

@reechie maak so lank die pan warm, bakkies bring die wors…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-99:
1 billion people cant be wrong
their treatment of animals is pathetic… but thats some serious farken odds, 20 to every 1 SA, unlike the seriously unfair to SA odds of 12.25 Saffas to one kiwi

Dead right boet it sickens me

@poppa69(poppa69)-106: well 31 have been killed this year alone for their horns.
friend of mine lost 2 this week.
i have 3 but have armed guards 24/7 within 500m of them DAILY!
all because their horns have got some supposed “viagra” power….
crazy – i know!
30 Sep 2011, 08:23 am
@Staal(Staal)-109: 31 = 310 sorry
30 Sep 2011, 08:26 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-103:
yeah, but it’ll be at the level of usa & free world vs china so that should even the odds out nicely.
i dont want to see china weak but its becoming more apparent that a carrot and very big stick approach is probably going to be the only way to get them to play nicely in world affairs. i’m not usually with the americans on a lot of the wars they push for but i’m right there with them on this one.
they can treat each other like sshit if they want to but the minute they start thinking they can just cruise around the world pulling that sort of sshit…well, they’ll find out soon enough just how much sshit they can pull then…

@Staal(Staal)-110:
310 ??? fark, not good at all… such a magnificent beast too..
its like the tigers and how they harvest them, or how moon bears are harvested for their bile …truly its all dispicable

@poppa69(poppa69)-112:
There’s an initiative here now by a wildlife organisation to inject the horn with something unpleasant, but not lethal to human nor animal.
Ssshhh.
Just between you and me.

The only people who should be allowed to kill the rhino is us Cannibal Maori’s, rather kill & eat a rhino than tourists!

Oh dear…

No offence Keo, but I’m glad I didn’t place that bet like you told me to. Boks by 15? I wonder if they fully deserved to win that match against Samoa.
1 Oct 2011, 02:54 am
didnt predict that did you.?
3 Oct 2011, 08:48 am
Well that didn’t happen. Not great signs for SA in the cup. Australia will expose the lack of try scoring ability. SA too easy to work out game plan
