The new scrum laws are more likely to benefit the tight heads than the loose heads. It is easier for a tight head to gain ascendancy when he can take the hit and bind at the same time. In theory it is more difficult to get underneath your opposition tighthead if you don't have the momentum to...

If SARU falls for this I seriously question whether they know what is best for SA rugby. OZ get what they want, play NZ teams, no travel to Africa, the TV revenue is still split evenly, and what do we get, two amateur Argentinian teams? Might as well play Currie Cup then and keep the revenue...

I see Meyer is insisting Coenie will be converted to tight head, it isn't going to work. IF Meyer is continuing to select overseas players or those moving overseas, will he use November tours as an experiment to find new talent? Fourie du Preez and Gurthro Steenkamp for me is not good...

You can see it is missing what once was, but it is also about what is important to me. I don't like the fact that the Currie Cup does not have their Springboks playing. I don't like the fact that the Currie Cup is reduced to a second rate competition since the conference system came into...

The situation is simple. South African rugby is forced by political pressures to have a team in the eastern cape to participate in super rugby as that is traditionally where the biggest history of non white rugby is. The problem with that is The Lions rugby union is older than most trees and...

We need to put Scotland under the sword here. They have a number of injuries and a few on the Lions tour, if we can't pulverise them, even with a bunch of youngsters then we have a problem. I want to see the breakdowns being dominated and clean passing skills. A few minutes for Bismarck and...

Good morning Gentlemen. First timer here. I think our midfield is promising with Jan Serfontein and JJ engelbrecht. Both are strong ball carriers and they have some pace as well. Engelbrecht will come right, give him a chance, what really excites me though is the pace we now have in our...
