Good summary from the Supersport site. Makes for depressing reading for most SA fans. I don't really drink very often but I might go for a drink now. http://www.supersport.com/rugby/super-rugby/news/140423/Our_rugby_can_no_longer_sit_on_defence Nick Malett reckons they need to start...

Ok that's it. I am bored stiff by Super Rugby. I always scoffed at people who had the audacity to suggest that it was a boring comp but this year I have to say I am more than just a bit disappointed. I have always watched many games because I am such a rugby tragic but this year I have...

Good old fashioned arm wrestle. Bulls surprised the Sharks. Kept the ball in hand in the first half and outmuscled the much lauded Sharks pack thoroughly in the second. Victor Matfield is back to vintage form. He walks right into the Bok team playing like this. I think there are big ...

From softporn to full on XXX hard core. The 2014 away jersey. If it's good enough for Chuck Norris, Rambo and Arnie Scwarzenuggi it's good enough for Flip van der Merwe.

Meanwhile back in the valleys... Wales looks strong with few injuries other than Jamie Roberts. The main talking point seems to centre around flyhalf - Biggar vs Priestland. Likely team seems to be: 15. Leigh Halfpenny 14. Alex Cuthbert 13. Jonathan Davies 12. Scott Williams 11. George...

Cheetahs by 2. Here. First.

Will continue to play Super rugby which is at least something but effectively ruling himself out for the Boks. Well fucking done Heyneke Meyer. Brussow is only 26.

The official "who gives a shit" series. Fox certainly doesn't. South Africa: Willie le Roux, Bryan Habana, JJ Engelbrecht, Jean de Villiers (capt), Bjorn Basson, Morne Steyn, Ruan Pienaar, Pierre Spies, Arno Botha, Marcell Coetzee, Juandre Kruger, Eben Etzebeth, Jannie du Plessis, Adriaan...

Second game in a double header. Samoa play Scotland first. Teams South Africa:15. Willie le Roux, 14. Bryan Habana, 13. JJ Engelbrecht, 12. Jean de Villiers (captain), 11. Bjorn Basson, 10. Morne Steyn, 9. Jano Vermaak, 8. Pierre Spies, 7. Arno Botha, 6. Francois Louw, 5. Juandre Kruger, 4...

Thought I'd start the thread as this baby is creeping up on us. I am excited about this game. The Force has shown a bit of hardness lately. It's going to be interesting to see what sort of team the Lions put out. They would want to get off on a high not against the Baabaas in Bonkers so they...

Check out their current squad. They have Danie Rossouw on board now and have signed Habana and Drew Mitchell :) http://www.rctoulon.com/en/rct/equipe/equipe-1/ This Boudjidal guy doesn't muck about. French players? Merde, who needs them? Fans appear to be loving it. I was in Toulon last...

Why did the Bulls not play this game plan on tour?? Vermaak try in first half is the best I have seen this season. Jan Serfontein was immense.

Halfway through the season it's a bit of a horror movie. Incumbents for the most part are out of form, and in a number of positions we really don't have people putting up their hands. The big question is also whether the players heading overseas will be selected or even available for the Boks...

Very good game. Some points of interest: - Pat Lambie looks like an international class 10 if ever there was any doubt. Seems to have so much time. - Lambie 1, Goosen 0. Goosen had a poor game. Maybe fronting Lambie screwed with his head but he has come off a long layoff. - The Sharks...

Is it the same ball as last year? Seems like the hookers and goal kickers for the most part battled this weekend.

Friday night in the Bull ring. Get the brandy and cokes ready. Bulls (# caps): Zane Kirchner (71), Lionel Mapoe (28), JJ Engelbrecht (17), Wynand Olivier (103), Bjorn Basson (42), Mornè Steyn (106), Francois Hougaard (45), Pierre Spies (89, c), Dewald Potgieter (54), Deon Stegmann (60)...

Springbok squad – Willem Alberts, Arno Botha, Schalk Brits, Pat Cilliers, Marcell Coetzee, Juan de Jongh, Jean de Villiers (c), Jannie du Plessis, Eben Etzebeth, Francois Hougaard, Elton Jantjies, Zane Kirchner, Juandré Kruger, Pat Lambie, Francois Louw, Lionel Mapoe, Beast Mtawarira, Lwazi...

So we see again the effects of the Bok management not having a say as to when players can return to action for their provinces. Barely back from the RC most provinces had their Boks back in action in the Currie Cup last weekend. As a result Andries Bekker is again out for the season as is...

Hello (says he nervously as he attempts to start a new thread about rugby.) We had a good moan last year about the likes of the Franks brothers creating those pillars around the ruck but now we're dealing with an all new tactic from the blicks. Who needs pissy little pillars if you can have...

I am not going to say "told you so" but the fact that it has taken so long to give this guy a shot has been perplexing to me for a couple of years. Did all the stuff you want your 4 to do and did them properly against a tough bunch. There is a big difference between people who relish the...
