My Bok team to win the World Cup
Top 20 players of the professional era

80 up for Beast
Big congratulations to one of Natal rugby’s favourite sons, big Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira. When he runs out onto the pitch in Salta on Saturday, wearing his familiar number 1 jersey for the Springboks, Beast will become the joint most-capped prop ever for the national team. […]
