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 Article10 Apr 2012

Golden dragon!

Vrede, you could learn a thing or two from JC on tv presentation.
Nice one JC.
10 Apr 2012, 10:48 am
Is this JC’s deboo on KEOtv? More JC less Vrede, please.
10 Apr 2012, 10:55 am
@Michael(mikeybrass)-2: Agreed.
What a nice young man

He is being very modest when he says he is not an allrounder, his tackle count game in and game out is one of the highest in the S15, he is a fantastic ball carrier, always gets over the adv line and then ofcourse the brilliance he shows every now and then with the boot. Now with Smith out I would much rather see him and Kolisi in the Bok team than him and Burger.
10 Apr 2012, 12:15 pm
Brussow should be the Bok captain.
10 Apr 2012, 13:00 pm
nice video, prob the first one ive watched where i didnt wanna smash my screen, JC plz do the rest of the up coming videos at least your voice isnt as annoying as vrede and you take up less space then keo
on those tackle stats of brussow, what a flippen machine!!!
10 Apr 2012, 13:09 pm
Why are there do many shots of JC if Broussouw is being interviewed? How many quality interviews show so many shots of the person interviewing them? It’s SA amateur hour. Pick up your game Keo Tv

keo, it seems your fans want keoTV to be like letterman or larry king. so unless you bring out the dancing girls, hire danny k to sing the intro, derek watts to ask the questions and send an entourage for make-up and lighting you might as well close up shop.
for those of us who don’t get screen-smashing urges, keoTV is lekker, no matter who is doing the interviewing. keep it coming.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Amen!

finally someone from KEO acting and talking like a professional on TV
10 Apr 2012, 22:37 pm
keohane can also learn from jc.
the one looks like a pro, the other like a kid on coffee

@Guns(Guns)-10: don’t mention any of those things, the kiwis said mccaw was again re-defining the openside position as now he was linking more, carrying the ball etc instead of just looking for the ‘pilfer’. now we see a fit heinrich performing week-in week-out.
11 Apr 2012, 00:12 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-13: mccaws moved away from being a specialised fetcher. the turnover kings now are pocock and hBrussow. pococks better at turn overs but hBrussow is a better all round player having a running game as well.
mccaw is the better rugby player and will probably move to 6 to accomodate a specialist openside this year but still needs to be in the AB’s for his leadership and ref repoire skills
