What they had to say: Sharks vs Pumas, Round 1
10 Aug 15 09:26 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 25 Comments
Hi Sharks (and Bok fans)…What a terrible way to enjoy a long weekend ‘holiday’ on the Coast. I battled traffic all the way from Secunda in time to make the 18:00 kick-off, only to be subjected to an abject, lack-lustre first half display from the Sharks. They looked disinterested and seemed more keen to get off the field and back to Durban. On Saturday I went to my first ever Bok game, more on that debacle later. […]

1Million Cheers for R1million champions

The Steval Pumas put on a fantastic eighty minute display of fast paced, brutal and effective rugby to take the title of First Division Curry Cup Champions! From the start of the game they showed their intent by playing very direct and physical rugby. The EP Kings tried their best to stay in the game but the Pumas where just to pumped-up for the final and never allowed the visitors any breathing space. […]

Earlier today the Springboks had an open training session at the Mbombela Stadium, in preparation for their match against Scotland this coming Saturday. I was lucky enough to be on the pitch the whole time while they where doing their drills and even managed to capture a few nice photos. […]
A buzz in “The Spruit”
10 Jun 13 13:50 by Gerhard van der Westhuizen (G West) | 18 Comments
In 2007 when the first shovel broke the soil at the Mbombela Stadium’s building site, there was a feeling of good fortune and excitement in the air which was soon replaced with dust, smoke, chaos, politics and some poor management at times. But in the end a magnificent stadium was constructed for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. A few months after the world cup success, the first rugby game was played on the pitch between the Pumas and Blue Bulls, on the 27th of August 2010. […]
