Hoekom sokker groei en rugby bloei

Die herrie wat Rassie Erasmus se wedstrydontleding van die skeidsregter se foute ontlok het, is nie die eerste keer nie. In 1995 het die Engelse kaptein homself ook die gramskap van die establishment […]

Hoekom sokker groei en rugby bloei

Adelaide in Pink & New Coach and Captain

At the time of writing, the Proteas were 165/7 at dinner, after Faf won the toss and elected to bat. Before you say “Oh dear, we are in trouble”, bear in mind the […]

Proteas on top down under

What an amazing game of test cricket Perth delivered! It once again proved why test cricket is the pinnacle! Turning points were Dale Steyn leaving the field injured, 100’s by Elgar and Duminy […]

That’s right – Dale and Vern are back!

Steyn was the leading wicket-taker in the two-match Test series against New Zealand with 10 scalps at 10.20 and claimed his 26th five-for in Centurion to end questions over whether he could regain […]

All Blacks skep hul eie voorsprong

Baie mense in Suid-Afrika raak warm onder die kraag as van hul landsgenote die All Blacks ondersteun wanneer hulle teen die Springbokke speel. Dieselfde geld vir my as ek sien hoe kollegas wat […]

Boks provide rollercoaster ride

My Saturday was one filled with rugby – The All Black v Wales game was a fantastic affair and up to the 53rd minute a Wales win looked possible. But as only the […]

Is Alistair Coetzee the right man?

There is no doubt in my mind that there is no better person for the job than Alistair. His track record is impeccable, and he has all the attributes required for one of […]

Wicked Cricket, Super Rugby & the 6 Nations

Wicked Cricket It is with a huge sense of relief that I notice that rugby matters are slowly but surely pushing cricket articles for space in the daily newspapers. The final straw that […]

Succession planning for coaches

While we await the outcome of the meeting where Heyneke Meyer’s future as coach of the Springboks will be decided, it is interesting to note the career path of Steve Hansen. The information […]

Blood, Sweat and Tears

The final Super 15 matches have, to date, seen a number of unexpected results. Picking the winners in Superbru is almost as difficult as trying to predict the scores. One of the guys […]

Rugby won on the Day

The results of the two semi-final matches on Saturday were a triumph for running rugby. It is also fitting that the two sides who ended at the top of the log will meet […]

Yes Nine a No-No

One of last season’s new rugby rules was recently scrapped, partly as a result of the potential danger to the offensive team’s number 2. Thanks to Alex Bax for his valued input on […]

Close but no Cigar

This may well be the theme for the Proteas, going forward, unless someone finds a way of teaching them that a series starts with the first game, not the second. My own views […]

Back to the drawing board

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 […]
