MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day Newspaper, writes the Boks gained more the battle in Nelspruit. Rather a scrap than a sensational effort against a courageous but limited Scotland. The Springbok coaching staff gained more because of the struggle against Scotland and there certainly won’t be complacency against Samoa. South African rugby supporters tend to be reactionary and very different in their reactions every weekend. When New Zealand struggled to beat France in the first Test in Auckland and South Africa were brilliant in patches against Italy many on social networks expressed confidence ...

The Bulls are South Africa's best team and they proved it in Bloemfontein. The Cheetahs have been outstanding all season and they were as good on Saturday night as they have been at any stage. Still it wasn't good enough to beat the Bulls, who won 30-25 after leading 30-13 with 10 minutes to play. The Cheetahs finished brilliantly and deserved the bonus point, but the Bulls consolidated their top two league placing thanks to an imposing first hour. Pierre Spies was impressive as team and pack leader, Arno Botha was ever present and the No 9, 10, 12 Bulls axis of Francois Hougaard, Morne ... Read Article11 Jun 2013
Brendan Venter's appointment as Sharks Director of Rugby is a good one. But the decision to end John Plumtree's Sharks coaching tenure is not. Former Springbok and Italy coach Nick Mallett turned down an invitation for the role of Sharks Director of Rugby and Venter, formerly the head coach and Director of Rugby at Saracens, will start his job at the outset of the Currie Cup season. Plumtree remains the Super Rugby head coach until the end of this season's tournament but his contract has not been renewed. Plumtree is highly rated in Europe and will in all likelihood link up with a European ... Read Article8 Jun 2013
Rene Ranger was among the few highlights in New Zealand's 23-13 win against France in Auckland. The All Blacks led 17-10 at half time but France dominated field position for most of the match and enjoyed the greater quality in possession. However they couldn't translate the advantage in the set phase and at the breakdown into points. New Zealand defended well in a match of poor quality. France lead early through Wesley Fofana's try and it took Ben Smith's break to start up New Zealand's international season. Smith has been the form New Zealand back in Super Rugby and he looked a class ... Read Article27 May 2013
Kiwi Vern Cotter is Scotland's new head coach. Cotter will only take up the position in a year's time. He will see out his contact with French club Clermont. Cotter's appointment means that New Zealanders will coach Scotland, Ireland (Joe Schmidt) and Wales (Warren Gatland). New Zealander Robbie Deans has been at the helm of Australia for the last five years and current Blues coach John Kirwan coached Italy and Japan. Kiwi coaches have also been at the helm of Samoa and Fiji in recent years. 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 Article24 May 2012

Dash the friendly dragon.

Wait till Carol gets here and sees Percy in that jersey.
24 May 2012, 13:43 pm
Bryan’s got good style. Ryan are you going grey?
24 May 2012, 13:44 pm
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-2: My video cut out halfway couldnt watch it finished.
24 May 2012, 15:00 pm
My video is broke! It stops at the same point every time.

What bllomin accent does Vrede have? I can hardly understand the chap! Habs is very well spoken
24 May 2012, 16:06 pm
Has Ryan got the front comb-over going on there? Nice video, like these more personal cuts, although without the corny jokes.
24 May 2012, 19:42 pm
Good job all round. Percy is getting much better at this.
25 May 2012, 06:23 am
hey….its called youtube. use it! maybe I can watch this side of the world in my lifetime
25 May 2012, 09:19 am
Habana pulls off this TV thing better than any of the Keo mob. Perhaps he has a future in broadcast media.
Monty looking all sophisticated and suburban in his wooly jumper. Carol will be daydreaming of SUV’s, DIY and Labradors again.
And Ryan, slow down a little and ENUNCIATE, even if it feels forced. Got nothing against your accent – in fact I think it sounds pretty cool – but many people from north of the Heksrivier Mountains can’t follow a word you say.
25 May 2012, 12:44 pm
You are all poofs commenting about their style, accents, wooly jumpers and stuff!!! Ffs….next time you all watch ftv, check out the chics and not their clothes!!!!
Point is that the Bokke has a propper coach again and gonna go far this year….
25 May 2012, 14:05 pm
Habana should be dropped from Bok wing IMO

@ossewa(ossewa)-11: Up your hairy arse, ossewania. If the content of this insert was in any way new or ground-breaking, then you may have had a point. But it’s not. Besides, everyone knows Keo TV is only there for our cruel amusement and criticism.
25 May 2012, 14:39 pm
Katman you poof please dont refer to my arse you are just scaring me now!!! Haha!!!
You are right totally here for entertainment!
25 May 2012, 14:46 pm
@ossewa(ossewa)-11:
Wake up osse,
you are either dreaming or deluded.
The Whole World already knows Heyneke’s game plan.
have done for 10 years.
some things never change in SA.
25 May 2012, 15:24 pm
Cane…talk it up mate….remember there is only one place to go when you are on top…i just hope for your sake your old boys give it up before they are rusty and don’t clinch to their positions in hope of having two medals like one no. 2….
25 May 2012, 17:46 pm
Sensational ? Percy – what have you been snorting ?
26 May 2012, 00:37 am
Now did you see the relaxed body language there, great eye contact from Percy, some pertinent questions and a fabulous jumper!! (WIPID
Percy is a man made for TV !!
Brian, just have to say your 3 tries I saw you score at Twickenham in the BaaBas game were the best quick 3 I have ever seen, you set the place on fire. Good on you.
Percy, btw, you lunched this week and chatted to a friends husband and you mentioned to him that were off surfing up the coast! Just want to say, beware of sharks!!
Have your say
