Some say this match is a waste and badly organised, some say its ridiculous to go so far for a single match, some say this Bok team isn’t a B team. All we know is it’s happening and it’s a match the Springboks would love to win. […]

The Wales side to face the Springboks this Saturday, 17:30 at Millennium Stadium, Cardiff has been named and having seen the strength of the Welsh side, the starting line-up featuring 11 players that were involved in the recent British and Irish Lions tour of Australia, Heyneke Meyer may just have been deterred from experimenting too much with his side to be named tomorrow.

Lions News: Update
3 Jul 13 10:50 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 6 Comments
In something of a surprise move Brian O’Driscoll has, far from being made captain for the deciding test this Saturday, been dropped for Jamie Roberts with Manu Tuilagi moving up to the bench. The captaincy has been handed to Alun-Wyn Jones. This is the first time in his 14 year career that O’Driscoll finds himself dropped, ironically by the same coach who gave him his debut in 1999. […]

Six Nations: Team of the Tournament
18 Mar 13 15:33 by (Sam Knibbs) | 3 Comments
It was perhaps the lowest quality Six Nations to date, yet the Championship still mustered up a barnstorming finish with Wales ransacking any hopes of an English Grand Slam. The English will look back at a tournament of ‘could have beens’, with perhaps the most unnerving statistic being the fact they were out-scored over five matches by the possession starved Scots. […]
Lions watch: Round 2 – The Backs
14 Feb 13 11:30 by Andre Liebenberg (King Shark) | 11 Comments
With the second round of the Six Nations behind us, it is a good time to continue the speculating on the composition of the team that will take on the Aussies later this year. Again, I base my selection on this past weekend’s performance only, so bear that in mind before you start baying for my blood! […]
It’s about the team, not the record!
16 Nov 10 08:20 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 173 Comments
I note, with some distaste, some quotes attributed to Bok coach Peter de Villiers in an article on Sport24 this morning. The Bok mentor appears to openly acknowledge that Bryan Habana’s poor form is all as a result of of the fact that he is a single try away from holding the record for the most tries for the Springboks all on his own.

Boks break Welsh hearts – again!
13 Nov 10 19:14 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 60 Comments
Peter de Vililers and his much-maligned Springbok team showed true grit and unshakable resolve on defence in the second half to come from behind and beat a game Welsh team by 29 points to 25 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff earlier today. With their seond win in a row, the Boks remain on course to capture a Grand Slam for the first time in over 50 years. […]
