Le Roux, Lappies finally rewarded
23 May 2013
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 Article - Super Rugby
Super Steyn stuns Sharks
25 May 2013
Morne Steyn kicked 18 points to beat the Sharks and end the hosts Super Rugby play-off aspirations. The Sharks looked to have conjured up a remarkable victory when Charl McLeod scored and Pat Lambie converted in the 75th minute. But within two minutes the Sharks were guilty of a lineout infringement and Steyn punished the lack of discipline. The Sharks had opportunities to sneak the victory in a frantic finish but lacked the decision-making to turn a possession and field position advantage into victory. The Bulls, thanks to Steyn's kicking, consolidated their position at the top of the ... Read ArticleSuper Rugby Fixtures

Baby Boks get Serfontein
25 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 ArticleCurrie Cup Fixtures

Hansen rewards Blues
14 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 ArticleThe Rugby Championship Articles

SA French connection trebles
15 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 ArticleSix Nations Fixtures

Varsity Cup let down
5 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 ArticleVarsity Cup & Shield

England bury Boks
12 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 Article - Vodacom Cup
Polokwane gets provincial action
8 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 Article -

AJ “Fabio” Venter?
5 Sep 2012, 18:54 pm
AJ Venter is a legend – should won more Bokke caps, just unfortunate with his timing.
5 Sep 2012, 18:57 pm
@nama1-190:
No look, I’m not comparing anyone to Goosen. He’s a freak, with more talent than Lambie and Elton combined. But I see your point. I might be waaay of, and Elton has done the impossible and done well in a kak team. I never pointed out any weaknesses of Elton by the way
Do I believe Elton would be better at the Sharks (for example) than at the Lions, yep. Do I believe he’s better than Lambie, no I don’t.
I’ve seen more of Lambie in the past 3 years to convince me he’s the real deal.
Either way, he MUST got to the Stormers next year, then he can show us if he’s the real deal (and not another Meyer Bosman or Sias).
5 Sep 2012, 18:57 pm
@Heavens Game-202:
What s wrong with Fabio (according to Gunther).
He picked that “dress sense ” up in Italy
Now there is a true hard man of SA rugby
And have you seen his wife? – a 10/10- not only in looks but also a legend from the Durban surf lifesaving fraternity.
5 Sep 2012, 18:59 pm
janee that KFC suit is one mutha of a fashion fkup – but legendary player.
5 Sep 2012, 19:17 pm
@Robzim-208:
He was actually taught his dress sense by one Christian Stewart.
They shared a place while playing in Italy. AJ one day was on his way out to the shops in his shorts, sweater and flip-flops. When Stewart saw it, he stopped him and promptly took him shopping for clothes. He made him swear to never leave the place without being properly dressed.
Ever since then, AJ loves dressing nice.

Hashim and AB making this look dead easy now. Apart from that close run-out call.
5 Sep 2012, 21:07 pm
Our school’s woodwork teacher went by the nickname of Boer, and wore dark green polyester trousers, grasshopper shoes and fake leather hip-length jackets. He had a 2 digit IQ and his only notable contribution to the school was busting smoking boys and catching truants during school break down at Emerentia dam. He fcken loved dishing out corporal punishment. Next to his fake leather jacket, it was his best thing ever.
5 Sep 2012, 21:08 pm
Hashim has saved our arses too often! Absolute class!

these Poms will never forget Hashim’s name!

@Transformation-225: I don’t think there’s a bowler in the world who wants to face him now.
5 Sep 2012, 21:27 pm
@Transformation-225:
And the next Pom captain will dread it if the Proteas pitch up with Graeme Smith as captain.
He has forced 3 of them in retirement immediately after a tour.
But you’re right. Hash is the man of the moment. Long may it last.
5 Sep 2012, 21:30 pm
There was an opportunity missed Keo.
An opportunity to see how Elton Jantjies would have shaped against the best in the world at test level.
5 Sep 2012, 21:51 pm
Too conservative. Too slow. Sounds like what we have been saying all along. Why should the Bok coach be given 6 months to learn what mere mortal couch coaches new ages ago. In the case of Spies, he has been k@k for years and HM is still too thick to pick up on that. WTF is HM still there?
5 Sep 2012, 22:04 pm
@PissAnt-228:
Wrong match to blood Elton. If he is going to be a Bok (and I still have my doubts), he needs make his debut at home. If he was going to play, it should have been against the Poms. Not against a desperate Aus in Aus.
5 Sep 2012, 22:05 pm
@katman-226: @I am a stormer-227:who are we playing next, aussies?
the test series was outstanding and memorable…
more,more!
5 Sep 2012, 22:20 pm
Aussies up next for the Proteas. T20 World Cup is just around the corner too!
5 Sep 2012, 23:06 pm
Keo is right about everything, selections and outcome. good grief…
5 Sep 2012, 23:09 pm
@PissAnt-228: I agree and I mentioned this earlier, if there was ever a time to play Jantjies this was it.
6 Sep 2012, 01:18 am
I wish the Goose was not on tour, it is too soon, he sld be playing CC and can debut off the wood on the eoyt. Lambie, Ruan and Elton provide enough FH cover!
6 Sep 2012, 06:49 am
@xtremebull-203: Hougaard is, and will never be good enough at No. 9, he was wrongly picked there from the start, I think the Bulls might have some trouble at 9, because the current CC scrummies, are also not really lighting up the competition…
