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 Article20 Apr 2012

Ha! For crimes against the English language, ol’ Vrede should be made to wear the Bulls away strip.
No seriously, KeoTV is classic stuff – like watching a train wreck, just more excruciating…
19 Apr 2012, 16:07 pm
A least with Joffers we can understand him, this must be a joke ?
19 Apr 2012, 16:20 pm
Fucken pollution,do you think this chop thinks he is a media star.
I’d hate to see who failed the auditions.
No man seriously this guy belongs in a butchery,is this really the best we can muster as a rugby expert.
And I thought Arnold Geerdts and that **** Neil Andrews were dog ****,they are Hollywood A listers next this turkey
19 Apr 2012, 16:28 pm
As a avid SA Rugby reader I have read the articles you write Mr. Vrede and after watching this horrible video it has just highlighted that you are an absolute plonker!!! You may have written 3688 articles but not one of them have been any good. Rather keep your idiotic opinions to your self.

@mad eye(mad eye)-15: Ryan Vrede won the SAB Young Sports Journalist of the Year award. you are just jealous.

This abuse of Rehaan is getting out of hand.

@Transformation(Transformation)-17: SA Sports “Journalism” with these fools from Keo and HSM ruling the roost? Fark, I search out and read Spiros Zavos and Stephen Jones just for relief….
19 Apr 2012, 16:58 pm
If he won that award imagine the quality of those who he beat.
Seriously I have been involved in the media/communications business for 40 years,and this is just atrocious.
No amount of grooming could improve it as well,it’s not just the delivery it’s the amateur content and the boorish back street delivery that gets to me.
How this site attracts advertisers amazes me.

@mad eye(mad eye)-22: you are in media? fark me *dies*
19 Apr 2012, 17:18 pm
Well said Vrede, I understand you perfectly. Poor Jakie, misunderstood Genius and everything. Like the Boks he has cleverly taken over a side that has hit rock bottom and can only get better, even if minor improvements are made.

Jus Jake, Only 32 people are botherd to discuss you here, [plus my 2 I am ashamed to say], and most are more concerned about making derogatory comments about Ryan’s ethnic speech patterns.

Good news Ryan, Habana just phoned me and said that he got your voicemail and will obey your instructions.

Pretoria – Captains from the Lions and the Cheetahs sides that attended the four-day Springbok camp in Pretoria believe players now have a better understanding of what Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer expects from them.
Cheetahs skipper Adriaan Strauss was among the 30 players invited to the camp in preparation for the incoming tour against England in June.
“It’s a great honour, especially for the younger players, to be included,” Strauss said on Thursday.
“It’s great to see the structures that the coach wants to put in place.
“It is good to share the vision, and to know all the South African rugby players are sharing the same vision that the coach has.
“I think we are leaving here with a lot of work done and we know the structures that Heyneke wants to put in place.”
While Meyer’s approach may be different to that of his predecessors, Strauss said the Springboks would not veer too much from the tried-and-tested brand of SA rugby.
“We have a certain brand of rugby, and there is definitely a difference in the way the Boks played before and how we will play now,” said Strauss.
“I think it is more about tweaking small things, though, and I don’t think there will be major changes.”
His namesake, Lions captain Joshua Strauss, said the players would leave the camp knowing what to expect when they are called up for national duty.
“It was awesome. The intensity wasn’t too high,” Strauss said.
“It is a bye week for the Cheetahs and the Lions, so you get time to refresh, but a lot of detail is put in as well.”
Meyer dedicated 15 minutes to each player in the camp.
“I had one-on-ones with every single player, going through their stats, and I think it went well,” Meyer said.
“It is actually surprising how much we covered in three-and-a-half days. They know exactly where they stand.”
The coach said he now had greater insight into the individual roles of the players at their franchises.
“Sometimes you don’t understand why a player in a certain position makes an option that I sometimes think may not have been the right option,” Meyer said.
“It was great speaking to them and asking what their roles are in their respective teams, and what the coaches want from them in a specific situation.”
Meyer emphasised that he did not want to dictate how the players should play their rugby, but opted for one-on-one discussions to have a better understanding of the individuals.
“I don’t want to have one-on-ones with the players and tell them what they should do at their franchises,” he said.
“They should play the way they play and I support they way they play. It is great to have different styles.”

How can Heineke dictate the type of rugby to be played at the unions? Are the Cheetahs going to backtrack to the Bulls **** gameplan again?

Ryan,

20 Apr 2012, 07:12 am
i enjoy it when the stormers play before the bulls.
20 Apr 2012, 07:31 am
Valid points in the video but you don’t have to try so hard
20 Apr 2012, 07:37 am
@mad eye(mad eye)-22: This was one of the better ones.
20 Apr 2012, 08:36 am
Vrede, you said last week the Blues would be too good for the Sharks. The week before you said the Shark were good enough to beat the Canes. Week before that, you fancied the Brumbies. Obviously the Sharks keep proving you wrong, win or lose.
20 Apr 2012, 09:10 am

Not gonna bother watching one of these clips again. Talk rugby and tactics instead of moaning about Jake the snake.
20 Apr 2012, 16:10 pm
That was horrendous!
Ryan you go off the topic and start trying to be all clever with your chirps but they aren’t clever or funny…..just stupid!
I’d say don’t give up your day job but this unfortunately is your day job!
Have your say
