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. […]

The rumour mill – 1st edition 2014

It may be a new year, but not much has changed in terms of player movement, with plenty of stars either confirming moves or being on the verge of big moves. This is what went down during the festive season. […]
Dream Bok?
22 Nov 13 13:43 by Chris Smith (ChrisS) | 11 Comments
Since the rugby season is drawing to a close I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the players on display in the upcoming tests and ask Santa for a gift for the Boks. It’ll never happen due to the IRB regulations but wouldn’t it be amazing to select a player from another country’s squad and put him in a Bok jersey? […]
IRB Player of the Year?
13 Nov 13 11:29 by Benedict Chanakira (bchanakira2) | 57 Comments
The 2013 International season is about to end with the end of year tours to come. This year has seen the All blacks continue their dominance in world rugby. Their only loss since clinching the World Cup was against an English side that was superior on the day, in 2012. They are in a class of their own. Two of their players are favorites to clinch the coveted award. Last year the award went to a New Zealander, Daniel Carter. The All Blacks have had five winners out of a possible twelve. They should make it six in 2013. […]
Wales name 11 Lions in their starting team
5 Nov 13 17:47 by Maria Delport (Letgo) | 19 Comments
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! […]
Six Nations: Team of the Week Round Two
11 Feb 13 09:30 by (Sam Knibbs) | 7 Comments
The second weekend of the Six Nations saw both Scotland and Wales record their first victories of the tournament. Wales’ gritty win was especially impressive for the strength of character it showed given their previous poor run of eight straight defeats. The cool headed Leigh Halfpenny slotted eleven points to put his side’s title ambitions back on track. In Dublin, it was the cool head of Owen Farrell that left England with the only 100% record in the championship – his twelve points were enough to see off the Irish. Here is a look at the star performers from all the action: […]
