Hi, Bok fans… I can almost hear the echo coming back to me as there seem to be fewer and fewer Bok fans out there after some miserable years of Bok rugby. […]

Breaking down the Boks…so we can build them up again

Kings of continuity
1 Sep 16 09:34 by Greg Kaos (gregkaos) | 43 Comments
I’ve been mulling over the performances of the Springboks of late, as well as the drumming the Aussies are getting and feel that there is a issue that few seem to be talking about. […]
The Boks need a coach!
2 Mar 16 10:17 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 53 Comments
Hi Bok fans. While Super Rugby has been dominating the headlines, and quite rightly so, after a marvellous opening weekend, I think it’s time to turn our focus to the Boks for a bit. […]
Heyneke’s OUT!

Heyneke Meyer has withdrawn from the race to succeed himself as Springbok coach. Or something like that…. […]
Pumas show the Boks how it’s done
23 Nov 15 10:11 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 62 Comments
I was watching the Baabaas play against Argentina and, based on the strength of the Baabaa’s side and the way they gelled against Gloucester, I was sitting back to enjoy a victory for the famous club in their 125th year. […]
Half a ton of half appearances
29 Oct 15 09:15 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 96 Comments
It’s perhaps fitting, in a rather sad way, that Patrick Lambie will (in all likelihood) earn his 50th Springbok cap wearing a replacements jersey. Why, after all, should this cap be any different to all the others? […]
Minimal change as Matfield leads
28 Oct 15 19:49 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 98 Comments
Heyneke Meyer may have selected his last Springbok team, and much like his 4 years to date, it has failed to generate much excitement. […]
Boks unchanged for Semi showdown
21 Oct 15 11:15 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 151 Comments
The Springbok team to face the All Blacks in the World Cup Semi-Final this weekend has been named, with an unchanged starting fifteen taking the field. […]
Strong Boks for USA
5 Oct 15 18:14 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 293 Comments
Heyneke Meyer has defied expectations by picking no fringe players for Wednesday’s match against the USA in World cup Pool B. […]
Bok changes galore as Meyer swings his axe
23 Sep 15 11:31 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 345 Comments
You can’t accuse Heyneke Meyer of failing to react following his side’s shock World Cup loss to Japan; however, whether the heads that have ended up on the chopping block are the right ones is a point worthy of further debate. […]
Battered Boks need to hit the “reset” button
22 Sep 15 10:41 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 122 Comments
A good friend of mine (and I think you know who I’m talking about) likes to talk about team culture a lot – and in particular, refers often to a team having a “default play” or trusted go-to move or style that they know in their sleep and can always count on to get them out of a slump. Heyneke Meyer’s somewhat schizophrenic Springboks have lost their way quite comprehensively over the last 12 months and while it may not be an overly popular suggestion, I feel they need to go back to what has worked for them in the past – and do so quickly.

Words fail me
21 Sep 15 09:25 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 282 Comments
I think we all know and have by now experienced the feeling, the total and utter shock. 48 hours later and I can still hardly believe what happened on Saturday evening. But it did, and thinking about it now, trying to put words to an article that I never thought I would write, it hurts. And that is what we all feel, forget anger and disappointment. It just really hurts. […]
Koch in Pumas start

Bok discard Vincent Koch starts at tighthead prop for the Pumas as they take on the Sharks at Kings Park this weekend. […]
Injured Boks in training
2 Sep 15 06:54 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 8 Comments
News from within the Bok camp seems to suggest that every member of the 31 man squad announced last week, took part in the field training session yesterday. This should be the norm, but is rather good news considering how many players were hampered with niggles. […]
Reinach joins Sharks Currie Cup squad
1 Sep 15 11:04 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 55 Comments
Springbok scrumhalf Cobus Reinach, who was informed last week that he would not be part of Heyneke Meyer’s 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, has rejoined the Sharks and will be available for selection for this weekend’s Currie Cup match against the Pumas. […]
