Super Rugby team of the Week: Week 14
22 May 13 09:10 by Maria Delport (Letgo) | 25 Comments
Another grueling week of Super Rugby with a couple of surprising results has just passed and with only 6 weeks of rugby to go it would seem that anyone finding themselves in the bottom half of log has left themselves just too much to do to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

And lets not forget the 3 week international break that will also have its effect on teams.

One month count down…
9 May 12 14:52 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 79 Comments
It is exactly one month until the Springboks face England at Mr Price Kings Park in the first of three test matches, which is also coach Heyneke Meyer’s first series in charge of the Green and Gold.
