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

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 Article7 Oct 2011

@Nils(Nils)-471: Nils I can assure you I don’t blog there. So whoever is that ‘Puma’ is is not me. So he can eat his jersey if we lose. I will not..lol.

@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-491: you’re right land always changes hands…like zimbabwe
7 Oct 2011, 16:20 pm
@Atreides(Atreides)-498: No have not will look out for it.
7 Oct 2011, 16:20 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-468: the bottom line with this Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu saga is that this is simply the biggest butt-hurt rant in the history of the game. his team lost and he’s just going on the ramage, complaining about absolutely every little thing. he may very well have a point somewhere in there, but you need to sift through the excrement to find anything of value. also not going to the IRB hearing and giving them this speech face to face speaks volumes.
7 Oct 2011, 16:21 pm
@Puma(Puma)-501: liar, we know you blog there, you bog on several websites
7 Oct 2011, 16:22 pm
Like 71% of the people on the site I think the Bokke are going to win because God is on our side unlike the heathen Australians who’s Prime Minister who said she does not believe in God

@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-491: Egypt should claim reparations from Iraq for Saladin owning them so hard
7 Oct 2011, 16:28 pm
Where’s that Wooden Spoon to explain that “bantu” thang.

@Dawn(Dawn)-508: He did something to do with Britons and Normans
7 Oct 2011, 16:29 pm
@malcolm(malcolm)-488: This Bok team has plenty guts. The reason we can play the 80min full on, is cause we are a team of 22 and not 15. Tired legs go off and some brilliant play makers come on with a fired up Bissie.
Teams would kill for our bench. Never thought after the 2009 BIL that our bench would have ever been as potent. Just a pity we don’t have a full front row with Beast also coming on. We had to cover ourselves this time cause of niggle injuries to our wings and Brussow. We COVERED though and that is good.
This Bok team will fight like never before for this win.
We will win it. I have a good feeling. Not by much but we will. One point will be enough.
Just hope Bryce blows fair for both teams. We need good reffing from here on in this tourney.
7 Oct 2011, 16:31 pm
@Puma(Puma)-510: God will punish Bryce if he doesn’t
7 Oct 2011, 16:33 pm
@Airwell(Airwell)-511: Honestly do not believe Bryce is so bad we should try and make sure he does not become a factor and concentrate on our game
7 Oct 2011, 16:35 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-505: Honest never blog there Transie.
I blog here on keo. RT and Sharksworld. Damn that is enough…hehe. So whoever is ‘Puma’ on that over site it is not me.
7 Oct 2011, 16:35 pm
The prediction does not even warrant a response. Keo, you should be carefull, I remember a certain article heading saying in the line of “It is the Aussies World Cup to lose”, and the very next day they lost to Ireland. It allmost comes across that you guys are wanting the Boks to lose. It is shamefull how you have been reporting during this RWC. That includes Ryan. In the hard games, you guys immediatly back the opposition team. No 50 – 50 chance, just, “The Boks are going home” Shame, shame and again, SHAME! I know this is going to be a tough game, but we have REAL MEN, that are going to give their blood to defend our country’s honour on Sunday. Rather shut up and say thank you, because we as supporters are not good enough to be on the field, we have guys there that are not there just for a quick payday, they are there to win the bloody RWC! Go Bokke!

@Airwell(Airwell)-512:
Bryce will only be bad in the eyes of the losing team on Sunday.
Watch this space.
7 Oct 2011, 16:36 pm
@Puma(Puma)-513: over = other
7 Oct 2011, 16:36 pm
@Puma(Puma)-510: my concern with Bryce is that he might over compensate for what he did to the Aussies against Ireland. if that’s the case, we’re in the dwang
7 Oct 2011, 16:37 pm
@Puma(Puma)-513:
Must be a fan.
7 Oct 2011, 16:37 pm
@Airwell(Airwell)-511: LOL.
He has cost the Sharks a few times.
7 Oct 2011, 16:37 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-518: LOL
7 Oct 2011, 16:38 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-517: Well being a Sharks Supporter I don’t rate him at all. He has cost my team 3 games before.
7 Oct 2011, 16:40 pm
@Puma(Puma)-521: i too am a Sharks fan, so i know exactly what you mean.
7 Oct 2011, 16:40 pm
@MG(MG)-514: Very good post. Well said. I am with you on that.
7 Oct 2011, 16:41 pm
Bryce was the chop that penalised the Boks before we even engaged at a scrum in the Tri-Nations. The Boks will make sure he is not a factor.
7 Oct 2011, 16:42 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-515: Always the case with the loosing team always blame the ref but to be fair The ref was really kak in the Samoa game and we won it.
@Puma(Puma)-521: Because you did not play well enough for him not to be a factor
7 Oct 2011, 16:43 pm
@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-522: Well then we know this ref well. He is not great and gets it wrong plenty times. So for that I am a bit worried about the ref.
Dan Retief also wrote that refs have too much say in the out come of a game. Especially reffing the breakdowns. As everyone of them ref it different. Which is rather stupid. Should be one way to ref it and that is it. Confuses the teams.

@Puma(Puma)-513:
hi puma.
nils got it wrong and trannie is winding you up.
the writer of the article was talking about eating his puma(argentine) jersey which he loves, even with the ice cream and red wine stains.
7 Oct 2011, 16:48 pm
@Dawn(Dawn)-508: why not google it, Cookie?
You will find that the Bantu peoples are thought to have originated from the southwestern modern day border of Nigeria and Cameroon. They trekked to southern Africa (via central Africa) just like the Europeans and Arabs did (except they sailed in boats).
7 Oct 2011, 16:49 pm
@MG(MG)-524: Exactly.
7 Oct 2011, 16:51 pm
@charo(charo)-527:
Okay.
Looshead asked me if I blogged there as well the other day on RT. Said not me. So just thought that is what Nils was getting at here. Picked it up wrong.
7 Oct 2011, 16:51 pm
@Puma(Puma)-529: typo – Loosehead
7 Oct 2011, 16:53 pm
Okay I am off.
Sundowner time coming up and the sun is out today…….heeeeeehaaaaa.
Cheers everyone.
Go Boks Go.

@Puma(Puma)-521: list them, i can only remember 1 – hurricanes 2008 or 09
7 Oct 2011, 17:08 pm
Did not enjoy Keo’s video ,but agree on Butch James.
7 Oct 2011, 17:09 pm
South Africans discussing the claims or non-claims a indigenous people of another country have to “their” land or not…. or whether the indigenous tribe is indeed an indigenous tribe of that country.
WOW.
The arrogance of it all when they believe that they… and only they know the real truth. Sommer use the opportunity to get a shot in at the “bantu,”
VOKKIT. Some people need a red hot piece of thorn wire put up their a.rses.
I think I’ll go and get drunk with some All Black fans and discuss the weekend’s rugby.
7 Oct 2011, 17:16 pm
@nama1(nama1)-535: What is arrogant is you.
There was one person who was talking about the Bantu and not ” South Africans ” it was me who made an observation of what I experienced in New Zealand and what a certain non statistical sample of Moari’s said to me about there claim to New Zealand. So chop enjoy your drink with your AB mates as they are generally good folk.
7 Oct 2011, 17:16 pm
Why are people putting inverted commas around the word Bantu?
7 Oct 2011, 18:04 pm
@Puma(Puma)-501: Yes Puma, what is the use of being a fan and trashing your jersey, supporting them one day and not the next, like some people on here.
Those are also people who you do not want as friends, “mooi weers vriende”

Refs are bias, few are not
They always spoil the game

I love it when the Boks are written off

The Bokke are going to do it on Sunday.
I can feel it in my water.
And as for you keo, you can suck eggs.
7 Oct 2011, 19:49 pm
JL1@542, Nothing like the Boks with their backs against the walls!
7 Oct 2011, 19:51 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-546:
or even better ” we’ll fall off that bridge when we come to it.”
That was a kiwi opening up after a couple of beers.
