Curwin Bosch will again wear the number 15 jersey as the Junior Springboks aim to topple favourites England in tonight’s World Rugby Under 20 Championship semi final. Bosch put in a stunning performance to help turn around a poor start as the Boks beat France in their final pool game last week. […]
Bosch back at 15

Desperate Junior springbok coach Dawie Theron once again finds himself desperately shuffling his team in an effort to get out of the pool stages at this year’s World Rugby Under 20 Championship. A loss to Argentina in their second-round match has taken the South Africans’ fate out of their own hands and they’ll need to win against France today, while hoping other results go their way. […]

There’s no sugar-coating this – it was a very dark weekend for South African rugby, with all three of the teams that took the field in green and gold at the weekend suffering humiliating defeats. While the Springboks’ 20-26 reversal against a 14-man Irish side is the understandable focus, losses for the Junior Springboks against Argentina and South Africa “A” side against the England Saxons only served to pile on the misery for fans.

Three Sharks in Junior Bok training squad

Dawie Theron has named his 36-man provisional Junior Springbok training squad and as is usually the case, you can’t throw a stick without hitting at least one Blue Bull. Only three Sharks players have made the cut this year, which is perhaps not terribly surprising given the woes of the under 19 side last year. […]

The Sharks have called in Leopards prop John-Roy Jenkinson to provide cover at tight head prop for the remainder of the Currie Cup campaign. […]
New props (and others?) in the mix

The Sharks would appear to have a few new faces at training this week, although it’s not yet clear on what basis they’re training with the squad – or even who some of them are! Since we love a good mystery, let’s examine a few of Steve Haag’s snaps from training today and try to figure out who is there. […]

The Junior Springboks will return to South Africa today with some silverware, or rather some bronze ware, after beating France in the 3rd place play-off at the World Rugby Under-20 Championship at Stadio Giovanni Zini in Cremona Italy this past Saturday. […]
