Boks vs England Preview
June Internationals: Springboks v England
It’s been a funny couple of weeks for Springbok supporters, first we had to endure THAT Wales game and negativity that followed that. That feeling was worsened by the first 20 minutes of rugby last week, and then suddenly this euphoria of beating England in the first test. So what awaits us this weekend? […]

June Internationals: Springboks v Wales

Congrats to the new Boks!
I’m not going to say very much about Saturday’s 24-22 Springbok defeat to Wales. Hell, the way the team (and the backs in particular) played in that opening half, we deserved to take a proper hammering, so perhaps some credit is owed to the team for averting that scenario. Still – Bok rugby remains messy as always and I certainly won’t pretend to have any quick fixes up my sleeve. […]
EOYT 2017: Wales vs Springboks
It’s the last one for the year folks, not sure if we should be happy about that or not? Will it be Allister Coetzee’s last match in charge of the Boks? Who knows? But what I do know is that this will be one tough test match. […]

Springbok coach Allister Coetzee, or is that ex-Springbok coach, has made a massive 11 changes to the team facing Wales this weekend. Dan du Preez and Warrick Gelant get first starts while Louis Schreuder and Lukhanyo Am are in line to earn first caps from the bench. […]
