Influx of overseas Springboks?
CJ returns to Bloemfontein
Bok tighthead prop CJ van der Linde has announced that he will return to South Africa from Leinster in Ireland and be available to represent his former team, the Cheetahs, in the 2010 Currie Cup. [...]
Cheetahs name team
The Cheetahs have named their team to take on the Sharks at the ABSA Stadium this Friday from 18:00. As expected, Lionel Mapoe is brought into the 13 jersey after Corne Uys was injured with Danwel Demas brought into the 14 jersey. The unexpected changes comes with Ashley Johnson being dropped to the bench in place of Frans Viljoen. [...]
Viljoen, Johnson get Cheetahs nod
Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has named his side to face the Bulls in Bloemfontein on Friday. Bok tourists Riaan Viljoen and Ashley Johnson will make their Supr 14 debuts at fullback and eighthman respectively. [...]
Another front-row conundrum
Isn’t it amazing how twenty minutes can change the perspective of an entire nation? [...]
Wolla makes Bok bench
The Bok side to take on Italy has been named and Jean Deysel is one of three uncapped players in the match 22. The team shows several changes to the side that lost to France, all of them amongst the forwards. [...]
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. [...]
Potgieter to skipper the Bok XV
The Springbok XV to face Saracens on Tuesday night has a far stronger look to it, particularly in the pack. Bulls loose forward Dewald Potgeieter takes over the captaincy from injured provincial teammate Chilliboy Ralepelle. [...]
CJ gets the call
Sharks prop Jannie du Plessis has been added to the Boks front-row casualty list and flew home yesterday. The Leceister front-rankers that did such a demolition job on Friday night will no doubt share a high-five or two, knowing that they managed to injure all three of their Bok opponents. [...]
Two Bulls sent home
Both Gurthrö Steenkamp and Malatse Ralepelle will return home from the Boks end-of-year tour, having picked up knee and foot injuries respectively in the defeat against Leicester. [...]
Stuff the mind games – it’s rugby time
I’ve heard a lot of talk this week – and most of it has been coming out of the Cheetahs camp. Don’t kid yourselves, chaps. There’s only one team that’s running scared ahead of tomorrow’s game and it’s the team who’s doing all their talking off the field. [...]
‘Poor discipline’ almost cost the Lions a victory
The British and Irish Lions bemoaned the “poor discipline” that saw flank Stephen Ferris sin-binned and cost them 14 points in their fortuitous 26-24 win over the Cheetahs in their third tour match on Saturday. [...]
Boks must find a place for ‘steady Jannie’
Cheetahs loosehead Wian du Preez should not be “thrown into the deep end” in his imminent conversion from loosehead to tighthead, Jannie du Plessis should be in the Springbok squad, and John Smit will be able to stand his ground at tighthead against the British and Irish Lions. [...]
