The return all Springbok fans wanted to see this Super Rugby Competition, is that of Heinrich Brussow, and they will have to wait just that little bit longer as the player has been ruled out until March. [...]

Cheetahs injury concerns
Brussow ready for Super 15
The Cheetahs are spending this week training in Jeffreys Bay ahead of next year’s Super 15 and fans will be pleased to see Springbok flank Heinrich Brussow almost fighting fit following a long-term injury, while wing Jongi Nokwe’s prognosis is less positive. [...]
Cheetahs get their squad together early
It seems Naka Drotske and company are using the extra time they have sitting on the sidelines wisely. [...]
Turning paper into reality
The Sharks have too much class – on paper – for the Cheetahs to pose any realistic threat on Friday evening. Problem is, the game of rugby is played on grass and we’ve seen the Durban boys come nastily unstuck against their less illustrious Bloemfontein cousins far too many times for there to be any hint of complacency this time around. [...]
Another Bok bashing
It was with much fear and trepidation that this brave reporter set out on the far-too-long train journey that would eventually take me to Wembley Stadium. My fears turned out to be well-founded, as the Bok midweek side suffered yet another defeat to club opposition last night. [...]
Pienaar back at flyhalf
Ruan Pienaar has been named to start at flyhalf for the Bok dirt-trackers against Leicester on Friday night. This is despite being used only at scrumhalf in the Currie Cup. Sharksworld has been lead to believe that Pienaar no longer sees himself as a flyhalf option… [...]
No Potgieter, Mapoe for Cheetahs
Free State Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské has been forced into making a number of changes to his team, as they chase a place in the Currie Cup play-offs. [...]
11-try Cheetahs stuff outclassed Leopards
The Free State Cheetahs recorded their second successive victory in this year’s Currie Cup competition after they ran in 11 tries during their 71-17 win against the Leopards at Olen Park in Potchefstroom on Friday. [...]
Cheetahs add a little magic
The Sharks aren’t the only team looking to a so-called “magician” to dig them out of a Currie Cup hole this season. While the Durban crew will need to wait a week longer for their wizard to arrive, Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské has included his at inside centre for this weekend’s crunch game against the Lions. [...]
Cheetahs opt not to use their returning Bok
Free State Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské has opted not to pick Bok winger Jongi Nokwe for this weekend’s opening Currie Cup clash against Griquas, even though the flyer has been released for provincial duty. [...]
Injury blow for Springboks
Iconic Springbok Schalk Burger is almost certainly out of next week’s first Test against the British and Irish Lions because of a serious on-going calf injury. [...]
To be or not to be? That is the question
Pieter De Villiers has some very interesting problems facing him over the next couple of weeks. The intensity shown in the final game of the season between the Sharks and the Bulls was outstanding and for my mind was the equivalent of a final, but had the added interest of the Bulls having to win to top the table and the Sharks having to win with four tries, so no “cup final” mentality was involved. What an outstanding advert for SA Rugby. [...]
Bryan is back and the Bulls are top
Northern Bulls wing Bryan Habana scored an intercept try in the final moments to ensure a bonus point 29-20 victory over the Cheetahs in the Super 14. [...]
Cheetahs stun Crusaders
The Crusaders’ Super 14 playoffs run hit a snag as the bottom-placed Cheetahs produced another big upset in Bloemfontein. [...]
Cheetahs shatter Sharks’ dream
The Cheetahs, for so long the bogey team of the Sharks, have done it again. It took them nine long weeks, but the men from Bloemfontein scored their first win of the season in beating the Sharks comprehensively, 31-6, on Saturday. [...]
