It’s that time of the year again, time to haul out the Bok jersey and, after the recent performances against the All Blacks, we can do this with pride. […]

My Bok team to win the World Cup
24 May 18 14:52 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 33 Comments
We’re heading into the June test window, so I thought I’d prepare a rather tongue-in-cheek article on how our team should look for us to stand any chance of winning the World Cup in 2019. […]
Toetie, A victim of circumstance or just plain unlucky?
9 Sep 16 10:34 by Henko Pienaar (Mutley) | 25 Comments
Most people will not agree with me, but I think Allister Coetzee is a good coach, he is one dimensional in his approach, but with the right players his approach wins games. Whether he is the right person for the Bok job is still a question, but he has certainly achieved enough to warrant his selection. […]

Sharks pack set up epic Newlands triumph
13 Mar 16 10:12 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 423 Comments
The Sharks forwards outperformed their more fancied Stormers counterparts at Newlands yesterday to lay the platform on which an unexpected, but very welcome, 18-13 upset victory was built. All the talk in the build up had centred around the strength of the Cape pack, particularly at the set piece, but it was the men in black who turned up to play on the day, turning in a flawless performance at both lineout and scrum time, as well as bringing more aggression to the point of contact.

Stormers v Sharks: previewing a classic clash
11 Mar 16 11:30 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 29 Comments
Tomorrow afternoon at Newlands sees a titanic struggle take place between two of Super Rugby’s early pacesetters, the Stormers and the Sharks. With both sides unbeaten in two starts and on top of their respective conference tables, one could rightly say this clash should showcase the strength of South African rugby (even though the Lions deserve to be very much lumped in the same category this year). […]
Selection decisions await Sharks

Gary Gold and his men have recorded victory in their opening two games of this year’s expanded Super Rugby series and have, to date, done that off a platform of selection continuity. Only two changes were made to the line-up between the first game and the second, with one of those injury enforced. […]

Sharks at Newlands – Post Mortem
9 Mar 15 10:37 by Maria Delport (Letgo) | 73 Comments
The Sharks were beaten by the Stormers. It was a hard match to watch, especially after so much of the emphasis last week was on the referees and how “THEY” lost the match. To be trampled like we were against the Stormers, after our team was boosted with Sprinbok returnees and after, in our opinions, we “technically” beat the Bulls, was painful. […]
Province deny Kings opening Currie Cup glory
11 Aug 14 07:31 by Pierre McLeod (pierre_mackie) | 5 Comments
Perfect weather conditions set the scene for running rugby when the EP Kings faced Western Province at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Friday night, but little did anyone expect the Kings to take a 1 point lead into the half time break. Province added three tries to their one first half try to beat the Kings 35 – 16. […]

News came through yesterday that Jean de Villiers, not surprisingly, has been appointed captain of the Stormers team for Super Rugby purposes. There are more bits of news coming from that part of the country… […]
