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 Article23 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 Article28 Mar 2012

@keo(keo)-65: You are only as good as your last piece of prose, marky. Or your last video clip.
And you won’t be winning any awards for this latest installment

@RedMan(RedMan)-100:
Someone posted a link to youtube last week which had some highlights of the Boks. It included a number of tries scored by Habana, any person thinking he is still good should have a look at that clip and they will realise how far he has fallen.
If he is the fastest bloke in the weepee backline it is not an indication of how fast he is but rather of how slow the rest are…
29 Mar 2012, 07:00 am
@nama1(nama1)-86: he “showed everyone he had a swerve”?
kuk man, he simply doesnt have one. he made up for it by running intelligent angles but he never had an inside outside bud, youtube me a clip of him showing this mythical swerve and i will admit defeat immediately.
as for the sidestep?
“In one particular match, against Aus, he side stepped to score a try and everybody said that he was the complete wing.”??????????????????????
one sidestep in one anonymous game vs aus means he has a sidestep that he simply wont unleash on the average opposition does it?
lmao.
he has neither, never did. but the mans a pro and i dig habs, his time is close to up though imo.
29 Mar 2012, 07:05 am
just heard the stormers are lining up an offer for sannie berl williams…
makes a lot of sense strategy wise as far as the battle for hearts and minds of the cape all black supporters are concerned.
it would help get more capetonians behind the team as well sell a lot more merchandise and the bonus would be his fancy offloads and presence in the midfield.
29 Mar 2012, 07:23 am
@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-104: He does have one thing JDV doesn’t….an offload!!
29 Mar 2012, 07:27 am
@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-104:
Weepee has R3.5m to pay him? WOW, things are looking up in the Cape…
29 Mar 2012, 07:35 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-106: Isnt WP the richest union in the country.
29 Mar 2012, 07:42 am
MoneyBills Will.I.am said he’ll move to become the richest rugby player on the planet…
so he won’t be playing for wp any time soon…
29 Mar 2012, 07:45 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-107:
Before or after the sell Newlands?
29 Mar 2012, 07:45 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-106:
didn’t they pay that much for bryan?
29 Mar 2012, 07:46 am
@ufo(ufo)-108:
just heard something about it on 5fm radio.
unconfirmed i suppose.
29 Mar 2012, 07:50 am
@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-111:
yeah… would be big news though if he did come to sa… though i doubt it…
although i’m sure everyone understands the attraction of the worlds top players to come and play for the stormers….!!
29 Mar 2012, 07:54 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-109: before.
29 Mar 2012, 07:55 am
but… if it did happen… would be a very interesting situation to see what would happen with the local ab supporters…?
would they boo MoneyBills…? would they support the stormers…?
would they boo when grant got the ball from duvenage… then cheers when he passed it to MoneyBills… and then boo again when he passed it juan…?
would like it to happen just to see the confusion wreaked in the ranks of the CTABs…
29 Mar 2012, 07:57 am
f*ck the Cape Town Al Blacks .. they are toothless papsak drinkers anyway, if they don’t support the Stormers then back luck. There is anyway more coloured players in the Stormers team & management than any NZ team … its like pissing in your own beer. dumb lol!
29 Mar 2012, 08:01 am
@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-110:
If so they still paying him that much and will pay that for the forseeable future.
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-113:
Year or so ago it was so dire in the Cape that the selling of Newlands was seen as a real possibility to keep the wolf from the door. They may have some spare change but it can’t be that much.
I thought the Bulle wa the richest union in SA, was Sharks for a while but performence impacted their bank balance and they are not rolling in it anymore.
29 Mar 2012, 08:02 am
@ufo(ufo)-114:
its an opportunity for a clever marketing ploy for hearts and minds no doubt.
29 Mar 2012, 08:07 am
@ufo(ufo)-112:
oh puulleeeaaze….don’t kid yourself, he’s only about the money….’attraction of of the worlds top players to play for the stormers’… ja right…
29 Mar 2012, 08:12 am
@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-118:
hehehe…
okay… stay calm… don’t panic…
call your local emergency medical response company…
they should be able to help you get the hook out of your mouth…!
there’s way more money up in fun-oria…
and BTW… habana renewed for a reduced salary package… as reported in the press… but ignored by his haters…
29 Mar 2012, 08:58 am
Did Percy say, when under Jakes coaching the ball went out to the wings??
Oh boy come on now.
Look Percy is one of my favourite old Bok players, he was such a good player, just defense was his problem, but decision making A+ .
Anyway, Percy is too much of a friend to Habana.
@race of tan(race of tan)-28:
lol Prickboks says Monty couldnt tackle which is correct, and then waffle off and talk about RWC medals and compare him to Carter.
Sort of makes you look a tool really.
29 Mar 2012, 09:06 am
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-120: next to keo even an sober-minded person manages to talk kak! percy is talking rubbish and he knows it.

@Transformation(Transformation)-121:
lol
29 Mar 2012, 09:13 am
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-120: Brian equalled the WC record of most tries in the tournament with Jake.
Just saying,
29 Mar 2012, 09:14 am
@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-118:
Actually his move to mthe stormers had little to do with money and more to do with finding a little space away from some overbearing influences.
29 Mar 2012, 09:16 am
@Hurricane(Hurricane)-120:
@Transformation(Transformation)-121:
well… under jakes watch…
habana equalled the mighty jonah lomu’s try-scroing record for a world cup…
where did they all come from…?
funny how we all cherry-pick the facts that suit our POVs and leave the others hanging on the tree…!
not saying habana has been in great form of late… but to imply that the ball never got to the wings or that habana is/was useless… etc etc is jumping into the same bucket as the guys you’re criticizing…
BTW Hurricane…
when are you gonna put us out of our misery and show us your new project…?
waiting with baited breath…
29 Mar 2012, 09:18 am
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-123:
sheesh… sorry… your post came up while i was writing mine…
but yes… what you said…!
29 Mar 2012, 09:24 am
@ufo(ufo)-119:
in the words of fox tv…’we report, you decide’
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-124:
i do not know about this. who, his in-laws? his own folks?
29 Mar 2012, 09:37 am
@ufo(ufo)-125: yes, currently under AC’s watch habana is the leading try scorer in the stormers, doesn’t mean the ball gets spread to the wings very often now does it?…
29 Mar 2012, 09:48 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-128:
hehehe
you’re trying to deflect now transformation…
hurricane’s point… and the point you responded to was… let me cut n paste it for you…
“under Jakes coaching”…
i’m no jake fan… but habana got those world cup tries under jake’s watch where the ball obviously got to the wing…
deny it all you like…
29 Mar 2012, 10:04 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-128: I told Wynie what you said about him yesterday, the oom is not pleased.
29 Mar 2012, 10:07 am
@ufo(ufo)-129: rubbish man, deflect my arse.
habana getting a lot of tries does not translate to “under jake the ball got to the wings more or a lot”!
habana scoring intercept tries and tries from scrum set-pieces or broken play/turnovers does not translate to “under jake’s watch the ball got to the wings more” .
in 2009 under pdv’s watch the boks score more tries than aus & nz in the tri0nations (the only team to earn a four try bonus point), that stat does not translate to the springbok wings got more ball than their aussie & kiwi counterparts…
now calm down and quit trying to be didactic.
29 Mar 2012, 10:13 am
Hehehe…
from the evidence of your post… I’m not the one who needs some calmettes…
a longer rant does mean you’re still not deflecting…
29 Mar 2012, 10:21 am
@Atlas(Atlas)-130: they won’t allow wynnie in most creches in sa and you know that
29 Mar 2012, 10:29 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-133:
if they had any sense they would ban you from most creches too.
29 Mar 2012, 10:34 am
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-134: hahahaha is mrs gunther related to wynnie? u seem to be touchy about banter towards him
29 Mar 2012, 10:37 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-133: He just told me he know who you are, expect Flippie and Chilly Sunday morning delivering your Sunday Times.
29 Mar 2012, 10:37 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-135:
No?
but why bring my wife into it?
I don’t understand where you would get of calling some old guy a paedo.
Maybe it’s xhosa humour, something to do with curing aids.
net n graapie.
29 Mar 2012, 10:42 am
Slow day today……
29 Mar 2012, 10:45 am
@Atlas(Atlas)-136:
Actually, someone should let him know.
Anyway transie doesn’t read the times.
City Press for him.
29 Mar 2012, 10:45 am
Calling a person a peado, specially one you have never met something so horrendous is really bad form, this is how nasty insidious little rumors get started.
29 Mar 2012, 10:46 am
@Atlas(Atlas)-136: hahaha i’ll be waiting
29 Mar 2012, 10:49 am
very slow day
29 Mar 2012, 10:49 am
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-137: it was a joke with stormersboy, i say he looked peado-LIKE…
now if you want to act all high and mighty as if you’ve never alluded to anything slightly offensive about anyone on this blog, go right ahead…
29 Mar 2012, 10:50 am
@Treehugger(Treehugger)-140: who was called a peado?
who?
29 Mar 2012, 10:53 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-143:
“they won’t allow wynie in most creches in SA”
ever so slightly offensive.
nothing high and mighty about that chum.
I’d say you need to work on your humour.
face it, you took a s hit in your pants.
clean up and move on bra.
29 Mar 2012, 10:55 am
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-139: No, Transie is BEE, he reads New Age. @Transformation(Transformation)-141: And bore them to death about your glory days as a basketball player
29 Mar 2012, 10:55 am
grantie’s like a peado for a speedo…
29 Mar 2012, 10:55 am
Don’t get snotty with me, what you said was wrong…full stop. This was not just insulting a faceless name on a blog but a real person.
29 Mar 2012, 10:57 am
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-145: *yawn* high and mighty….
