Scotland the Grave?
Nie oud of koud nie Dan Carter speel hierdie naweek in sy 100ste wedstryd vir die All Blacks. Daar was al spelers wat hierdie mylpaal bereik het, maar na my mening is hy […]
How Green was your Valley?
The Springbok team, announced yesterday, pleased more people than usual, both from a view of who was selected, and who was left out. The inclusion of Pat Lambie in place of Zane Kirchner […]
Like Lambs to the Slaughter
According to an article on the Supersport website, South Africa have now failed to cross the 200-mark in five of their last seven matches, including a 4-1 defeat against Sri Lanka in July […]
Perfectly Planned and Executed
Western Province 19 – Sharks 33 An article in my local paper titled, “That is why WP lost” may well have read: “Why the Sharks won.” It lists the following 5 factors: Poor […]

Whereto now, Coach? In retrospect, our first half against the Wallabies was not as good as the score would indicate. We did not play that well – it was rather that the Aussies […]
Satisfying indeed…
Proteas The last time the Proteas came back from the land of the long white cloud in 2003 /2004 it was with a taste of bitterness and humiliation as they drew the test […]
Jy moet konsentreer my Kind!
Die groot verskil tussen die Bulle en die ander SA spanne die naweek was hul vermoë om vir 80 minute te konsentreer. Dalk kan mens ook die Lions hiervoor krediet gee. Hulle het […]
It’s all to play for!
The Black Caps looks set to play an additional batsman and forgo the four man seam attack for the last and final test. Perhaps a test too late, but they have identified the […]
Vernon you beauty!
An empathic 9 wicket win within three days is not an everyday experience in New Zealand – but that is exactly what the Proteas did! They lead the series 1 – nil with […]
