Excuse my ignorance, but who? Considering that Jan Serfontein is returning this year he is by far the biggest name in the competition this year as far as I am aware unless there is some freak from the Northern Hemisphere that I am not aware of.

Dunno, I think your guilty of some revisionist history there. For better or worse the Reds didn't get much respect despite their results in 2011. I don't think they were most people favourites to win the competition until Genia scored half way through the second half of the final. Last...

Not good, not good at all. Forward depth is absolute destroyed by injuries, but those back reserve are terrible. WTF must Van Aswegen do to drop out of the 22?

Fleck needs to go, no doubt. The basics of backline play has been hopeless for a long time now. Proudfoot and Nienaber should be safe. The forwards and defence have been good under their watch. I can understand that Coetzee is under pressure, but I would give him chance to show that he can...

The full DHL Stormers injury update is as follows: New injuries (from the Rebels match): - Hooker/flank Deon Fourie (fractured ribs – two-three weeks) - Hooker Scarra Ntubeni (hamstring tear, grade two – two-three weeks) - Prop Pat Cilliers (ankle, grade two ligament tear – minimum six weeks)...

Can you prove that the tackler would not have been able to make the tackle or that it would not have changed the line Morahan would have run? If you do then you have even more reason to be pissed at the Fiangaas for doing what they did.

Did Fiangaa block a defender from making the a tackle? We don't know, because the defender was blocked from ever getting near the ball carrier. Why should he enjoy the benefit if the doubt when he is the one cheating? I must admit my own prejudice though. I have seen Sias Fainga'a lying at...

Strange how different audiences can focus on different things. What I heard was a captain who took responsibility for the loss, admitted they were not good enough to win and echoed the disappointment the fans feel about this result and the season. Should he have dropped some meaningless...

Que?

I disagree with this, especially if the infringement was intentional. Penalties are (or should be) awarded for the actions of the offender and not "won" by the non-offending team. (That is also why I hate the way the scrum is refereed where it has suddenly become an offence to be pushed...

I have had the privilege of meeting JvD and the reason because he such good speaker is simply because he is very decent guy. One of the good guys in rugby.

Have look at the attempt that shouldn't have been just before half time from the Chiefs Rebelsfor your answer.

Your talking about the ruck where all the Rebel player was lying on the ground and BEKKER simply walked over?

Why should he be given the benefit of being allowed to knock the ball?

Cheating fucking fluffybunny of a tmo

21.5 Scoring a goal from a penalty kick ... (b)If the kicker indicates to the referee the intention to kick at goal, the kicker must kick at goal. Once the kicker has made the intention clear, there can be no change of the intention. The referee may enquire of the kicker as to the intention. ...

Scrum, absolutely shocking that the ref didn't know the rules.

Bit of an over simplification though. South Africa is one of the most unequal economies in the world and referring to average incomes (or per capita GDP figures as you have done) is misleading. The 300k odd viewers in South Africa are drawn almost exclusively from the top three deciles earning...

The debate centres around the way teams go about countering the mauls. One of the legitimate counters to a mauls is for a defender to work his way through a maul to the ball-carrier, tying the ball up and so doing winning a scrum when the ball cannot be produced. Well when is a player going...

And one of those rare occasions where you can walk away from the game knowing immediately that you have just watched a piece of history being made. Definitely one of the greatest rugby games of my lifetime.
