Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests. Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage. Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney. Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August. His injury means a likely Bok start ... Read Article19 May 2013
GREGOR PAUL, in the Herald on Sunday, writes world rugby will get its integrated season after the 2015 World Cup and Super Rugby won't break to accommodate an international window. Super Rugby will shift to a March start and won't break for test matches, the June window will be shifted to July and all players will have a 14 to 16-week off-season. Other innovative plans are being discussed, such as building a world series of tests in years that fall between the World Cup and British Lions tours. The revolution that All Black coach Steve Hansen called for last week is coming. The players ... Read Article25 Apr 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 Article9 May 2012

“Bring that block out, boys.”
?
Oy vey.
8 May 2012, 15:22 pm
any team but WP in final
8 May 2012, 15:22 pm
If AJ was standing Keo’s head wouldn’t even fit into the frame.
8 May 2012, 15:23 pm
keohane looks like he is headed for sopiatown for a jazz concert after snorting speed off a prozzies thigh.
he needs to calm down.
8 May 2012, 15:26 pm
marcel coetzee, willem alberts, bizmark and steven sykes lack aggression?
the beast and jannie will now start to hurt other front rows, mark my words.
8 May 2012, 15:27 pm
Not to sure what makes AJ the resident expert…….
8 May 2012, 15:28 pm
Something about the perspective of that shot is all messed up like an Escher drawing. Keo looks like he’s standing 10m back, yet he’s patting AJ on the back like he’s right there. Trippy sht.

“Last year the Sharks embarrassed me twice”…….. This year I’ll let my jacket do the talking
8 May 2012, 15:29 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-7: Iets gesnuiwe?
8 May 2012, 15:30 pm
where’s HG?…hehehehe
8 May 2012, 15:30 pm
With so many experienced blindsides injured, Alberts apparently out of sorts, and Meyer rating Adriaan Strauss and Chilli, does anyone think…
Meyer may drop a bomb and play the Battlship at 7 with Strauss and Ralepelle as his test twos for the Eng series?
8 May 2012, 15:31 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-7:
That wasn’t a pat. It was a deep tissue massage.
8 May 2012, 15:32 pm
@puff(puff)-11: not likely
8 May 2012, 15:32 pm
@puff(puff)-11: Interesting thought.
8 May 2012, 15:33 pm
At work and watched the whole thing without sound. Really disappointed…
8 May 2012, 15:33 pm
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-9: Voel so. Ek het met my monitor se setting gespeel, maar die verhoudings is nogsteeds faktap. Soos ‘n Photoshop blapsie.
8 May 2012, 15:34 pm
@puff(puff)-12: Ja, I wasn’t going to say anything. Thought that AJ was just one of those guys without personal boundary issues.
8 May 2012, 15:36 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-16: Daai baadjie laat my dink aan daai stront in die middel van die huisgenoot wat jy van naby moet kyk en daan wegtrek en dan sien jy blykbaar n 3D prentjie van n kakkende kangeroo of iets….
8 May 2012, 15:37 pm
@puff(puff)-11: We have a new generation of quality loosies, the frontrunners of which are Coetzee, Stander and Kolisi. One of them will likely make the squad.
8 May 2012, 15:37 pm
Jeeez Keo all that’s missing with that jacket is the leather elbow pads.
The Sharks fans are fickle fans! LOLOLOLOL
8 May 2012, 15:38 pm
Whats up with that Jacket Keo?
8 May 2012, 15:39 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-19:
Yes, but will any of them start – especially the first test?
8 May 2012, 15:42 pm
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-18: Ja, dis gewoonik iets soos ‘n surfer of ‘n gevleulde perd. 2 uit 3 mense sukkel om dit te sien en dink dan die ander praat stront.
Ek het nou keo se baadjie goed dopgehou en ek dink syne is dalk twee skilpaaie wat mekaar pomp.

@puff(puff)-22: I reckon the starting back row will be:
6. Brussow
7. Alberts
8. Spies
8 May 2012, 15:48 pm
katman & kwagga
funny stuff…!

“David Swart has written 8 articles”
All keo tv.
written?
8 May 2012, 15:50 pm
think he’s the vid-ed
8 May 2012, 15:50 pm
Well, you have to say it was a lot more fun than with Percy.
8 May 2012, 15:50 pm
@Atlas(Atlas)-28: You don’t think Monty writes his own opinion, do you?
8 May 2012, 15:52 pm
AJ’s the most natural presenter of the lot…
(and the most knowledgable…)
8 May 2012, 15:52 pm
@Atlas(Atlas)-28: Maybe he writes the horrible scripts!
@Nikita(Nikita)-24: Didnt Keo say you have Double D’s when he introduced you?
8 May 2012, 15:52 pm
@ufo(ufo)-29: @>^..^< katman(katman)-31: Maybe he is the brain behind all this ****. We were blaming the wrong guys!
8 May 2012, 15:53 pm
@ufo(ufo)-32: Agree.
8 May 2012, 15:54 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-26:
That’s what it should be, given the amount of injuries to the likes of Smith, Burger and Vermeulen.
But Alberts is far from being on song at the moment.
So it will be interesting.
Alberts
Coetzee
Kolisi
Stander
or…
Bismark Du Plessis?
I know Bismark at 7 sounds like a maverick idea.
I suppose it depends on a few things, not least of which is who Meyer and co. see as their starting prop-hooker-prop trio.
8 May 2012, 15:55 pm
Since when does a team who struggle to score tries have the ‘x factor’???
8 May 2012, 15:59 pm
@puff(puff)-36: He’ll rather play a lock at 7 than Bismark. We have too many options at 7 to go for a hooker at 7.
8 May 2012, 16:00 pm
this keo, for a bloke who supposedly everyone doesn’t like seems to be on very cordial terms with these ex-boks that grace his youtube clips.
8 May 2012, 16:01 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-37:
They have the X factor called Gio Aplon.
8 May 2012, 16:03 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-37: xactly
8 May 2012, 16:12 pm
@puff(puff)-40: 1Plon doesnt = xfactor
8 May 2012, 16:13 pm
Alberts best position is 8
8 May 2012, 16:14 pm
Mark were you sitting on AJ’s shoulder?
8 May 2012, 16:15 pm
@kfc(kfc)-44: Oh wait. I see now. You’re actually standing on his lap.
8 May 2012, 16:16 pm
Keohane if you are going to get into T.V don’t be such a fucken cheapskate,your mother cannot operate your camera for you .
I know she needs employment to stop her hustling on the street,but you need a camera operator with the most basic of basic skills.
Like how to avoid a moyo pattern.
**** head you cannot wear black and white stripes against a white background ,it sings stupid,sings.
And for God’s sake get a director who knows that you don’t look straight into the camera,
Finaly if you have to go in front of the camera,which you actually shouldn’t then take the stocking off your head,you are not robbing the bank today
8 May 2012, 16:17 pm
Gio Aplon deserves a starting wing spot at test level.
8 May 2012, 16:20 pm
OK, so the final will be between Strormers and Chiefs at Newlands.
So why bother watching the rest of the tourny
Congrats Stormers again on a fine season
8 May 2012, 16:24 pm
@greatest13gerber(greatest13gerber)-47:
No he doesn’t
