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 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 Article9 May 2012

Wow you cant even use the word g-a-y on the sight. No wonder so many homosexual rugby players are afraid to come out.

@Joffers my cuzzie(Joffers_my_cuzzie)-52:
So you have been at the *** pride parade
8 May 2012, 16:53 pm
Stormers do not have the x factor and they do not have the bonus points … which will come back to nail them in the arse … not that many a brokeback would object.
8 May 2012, 16:54 pm
@Atlas(Atlas)-51:
Boo f*ckin hoo. His skillset,form and ability to make things happen in limited space(such are defensive systems) warrants his “deserved” selection for Boks. Much like Bismark last year “deserved” to start ahead of Smit for the Boks-a sentiment shared by many pundits,coaches etc worldwide.
8 May 2012, 16:58 pm
@RL(RL)-56:
They possess players who have X-factor if UTILIZED properly but instead they rely too much on Nienaber defensive system. Fleck doesnt seem to be as effective in employing a pattern with backs to create an environment where players like Aplon,De Jongh etc can flourish
8 May 2012, 16:59 pm
@Joffers my cuzzie(Joffers_my_cuzzie)-54: Simon is that you … we all know that your two obsessions are Joffers and rugby players who use their mtondos to bat for the wrong team.
8 May 2012, 17:01 pm
Joffers?
As in Graeme Joffe?
8 May 2012, 17:04 pm
Butterbean!!!
Joffers has put on 70 pounds since he worked for CNN.

Indeed Fleckies time is running out.
Time for Chester.

Maybe he is also trying to get into Broad-Bottomed Empowerment.

@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-63: Brett Kebble, the original Broad-Bottomed Empowerment kingpin.
8 May 2012, 17:30 pm
RL you such an arse, Stormers dont have the X-Factor? Maybe not, debatable… But here’s a no-brainer, Lions got f’all…
8 May 2012, 17:31 pm
What’s with all this Keo and co’s ‘Joffer fascination’?
8 May 2012, 17:32 pm
@thesaint(thesaint)-65: they dont have the x factor and they have about 20 000 knowlegeable fans and 25 000 drunks who go to newlands to spit at each other.
(cue hysterical laughter in the background)
8 May 2012, 17:33 pm
@thesaint(thesaint)-65: jaja and the brokebacks are into year twelve without any trophies.
8 May 2012, 17:35 pm
Rangerman… How’s the season working out for you thusfar? I don’t even need to make a joke, enough of them at Kingspark already…
8 May 2012, 17:35 pm
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-66: joffe took keo on on twatter and keo had a mincing little pygmy war of words with him.
keo lost but he is too thick to realise it, he went on darren scotts anonymous blog radio (the place where careers go to die) to try and worm his way out of the accusations levelled at him.
it was nauseating listening to darren try to ressurect his career by fawningly “questioning” the noxious little dwarf.
8 May 2012, 17:37 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-67: and about 260000 youngsters born since the last time a trophy was in the WP cabinet.
8 May 2012, 17:38 pm
@thesaint(thesaint)-69: the season?
see thats how you fools think.
its not about the season sonny, its about the trophy.
how have the last 11 “seasons” been for you?
8 May 2012, 17:38 pm
RL, trophies, no, spot in the Super 15 come 2013? Definitely… Now I wonder, which would the cubs prefer?
8 May 2012, 17:39 pm
@RL(RL)-71: some of those youngsters probably have junior contracts with wp
8 May 2012, 17:40 pm
@thesaint(thesaint)-73: you stormers fans know about relegation, you tell us how it feels?
8 May 2012, 17:43 pm
i will give it to keo, he knows how to pander to the mob.
the problem begins when a challenger arrives on the scene and all the bridges that were burnt would have been the only way out.
8 May 2012, 17:43 pm
either the saint is self flagellating or he is yping a moerse long post
8 May 2012, 17:44 pm
Ranger, no, its the way YOU and RL think, like the CurrieCup matters, at least the Stormers are making strides towards, instead of leaps from…
8 May 2012, 17:46 pm
@thesaint(thesaint)-78: ah, the old “we dont care” gambit eh?
haha, cant wait to see how much you care when you finally win one
8 May 2012, 17:47 pm
Cheers, im out should’ve taken a cue when all other bloggers stopped responding, enjoy yourselves, I know your teams aren’t…
8 May 2012, 17:49 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-70:
Hahaha… got it…
8 May 2012, 17:51 pm
@thesaint(thesaint)-80: ag dont take it so seriously mate.
its just banter.
i am sure you were having a good chuckle at keos poison so why are you so sensitive now?
8 May 2012, 17:55 pm
@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-81: ja, he did actually go on joffes radio show too.
on 702 i think.
funnily enough there were no links to that interview posted here
8 May 2012, 17:57 pm
Sharks “tries” have been drying up lately lol. At least the Stormers have scored more tries than the opposition they’ve played in all games bar one. A nice home stretch now awaits the Stormers to put an even bigger gap on the poor sods at Kings Park. How can a Springbok laden team be so piss poor?
8 May 2012, 17:59 pm
sadly i must agree with the content of this edition of dwarftv.
the sharks dont look like title contenders at the moment.
but imo the problem lies at captaincy and backline coaching more than anywhere else.
keegan will hopefully grow into the role.
8 May 2012, 18:00 pm
He will need to change his name then.
Ujoffers
His bottom will need to be very broad to fit around the zuma dinner table

AJ VENTER EK HET GELEES WAT JY GESKRYF HET ,EKS N GROOT WP FAN ,TRUSY MY MA EK DINK SADERS GAAN DIE FINAL WEN ,PASOP VIR DIE REDS
8 May 2012, 18:05 pm
@Pee Wee(Pee Wee)-84: how many bonus pts do the stormers have for tries scored?
in fact how many bonus pts do the stormers have full stop?
8 May 2012, 18:09 pm
Percy is Nikita!
Best comment yet.
8 May 2012, 18:11 pm
if the stormers lose to the bulls and the sharks in the next series of derbies, where does that leave them?
8 May 2012, 18:12 pm
hehehehe
so…here we are chatting about the S15 season… and AJ offers his opinion..
a comment or six later we have…
@rangerman(rangerman)-72:
“its not about the season sonny, its about the trophy.”
@rangerman(rangerman)-79:
“haha, cant wait to see how much you care when you finally win one
”
so bud… please remind us when the sharks won THE Super Rugby trophy…?
and how did it feel when you could say you finally won one…?
sheesh… we know you live a fantastical life there ranger…
but don’t you actually have to win THE trophy before acting like you have…
no…?
sounds like a case of premature articulation to me…
Bulls are the only Biz with bragging rights…
8 May 2012, 18:13 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-88:
Well, we got one for losing by less than one against the Crusaders. How many points did the Sharks get for their losses? I mean they’ve had more chances to gain losing bonus points than we have?
8 May 2012, 18:14 pm
LOL just watched that kak keotv video and man-o-man Keo is a dwarf next to AJ.
8 May 2012, 18:15 pm
@David(David)-92:
Forgot the smiley.
8 May 2012, 18:19 pm
@David(David)-92: look at the table man, the bullies lost one more match than the brokebacks but are ahead of them on points …. bonus points count … It’s the difference between earning a bye week and a home semi vs an extra match no bye week and an away semi.
8 May 2012, 18:26 pm
Ai
Doppies is leaving Lions end June
8 May 2012, 18:27 pm
@mishin………….Alberts has done stuff all and does not deserve a Bok spot, hell the Sharks have even dropped him. Elstadt at 7 would be my call.
I’d play Jantjies at 10 as we need to move on from the ponderous plodder Morne at 10. de Jongh is too small for a test 13, play Taute at 13 or JP. JP ahead of Aplon on the wing
8 May 2012, 18:29 pm
Ok ok ok will everyone stop losing their fecking heads the Stormers are kuk and the Sharks are fabulous we get it already
8 May 2012, 18:31 pm
@Dawn(Dawn)-98: you are missing the brawl in the other thread … the pricks are ganging up on me
8 May 2012, 18:32 pm
