Bok selection countdown – Halfbacks
The Springboks host the English in less than three weeks’ time, and we continue our look at the possible team selected by coach Heyneke Meyer. Today we look at the halfbacks, probably one of the easier combinations to predict when it comes to that first test in Durban on 9 June 2012. [...]

Sharks stay on course with five points

Super Rugby 2012 – Reds (34) vs Lions (20) F/T
The third game this Saturday sees the Reds host the Lions in Brisbane, and I am afraid to say, this match really has only two outcomes – the Reds to win, or the Reds to beat the Lions comprehensively. [...]
Super Rugby 2012 – Crusaders (59) vs Blues (12) F/T
