SA Sports Illustrated: Ruggaworld’s their July 2011 blog of the month

Published 22 June 2011 | By superBul

Congratulations Morné and team. I am glad we have such a good working relationship with your blog. Wish you well and hope this is not your last award and recognition.

Here is the whole article From Ruggaworld.

So the guys as SASI reckon we’re their sports blog of the month for July 2011.

Okay so I was reading with some smug enjoyment that 55% of SASI readers had voted that Luke Watson was the person they least wanted to see on the cover when my eye caught this heading: Blog of the month: Ruggaworld – www.ruggaworld.com

Okay so I read it and was surprised to find a quite kickass description of RW…

Finding a bona fide well run and well informed sports blog in the South Afriucan online sphere can be quite tough. Some have been brilliant but now display outdated posts…

Ruggaworld, on the other hand, has been going strong since December 2005 and amassed a bunch of loyal readers whose comments are strewn throughout the site. The blog itself is run by a merry band of self professed rugby enthusiasts – David Spohr, Morne Nortier, Deon and Boertjie.

…

Over the years the site has managed to establish itself as an almost official news outlet, but still maintains tat quintessential blog feel.

Cool huh?

Thanks SASI for recognizing the hard work the lot of us put into RW and in particular its readers and my fellow “Board Members” who have done so much to keep RW going since Christmas 2005 (geez has it been that long??)

Okay now congratulate us…

    @ superBul:

    Thanks buddy, I cannot tell you how much we (and I obviously) appreciate this specific gesture from you folks.

    More so since you (and GBS and the other admins) will know just how much time and effort goes into running something like this!

    The greatest thing about RW, and this ‘award’ is not just the recognition from SASI, for me its a celebration of the friendships across various blogs and how it all contributes to the respective success of each of them – something I am privileged to be part of given I have been afforded the opportunity to publish on various platforms including this one.

    I have always maintained, and will continue to say this, the inspiration for the issues I write about, comes from the folks that comment on blogs like RW and RT, you guys inspire me and are therefore directly responsible for the success of each platform I, and the other folks contribute to.

    So this is as much of a recognition to you guys, and your members, as it is to us.

    Thank you.

    @ Blue Bird:So BB, You do you have for a win or loss against my Sharks and Saders?…. I am catching up well now……hehehe. Probably fall this week cause never go against my Sharks.

    Feel Blues with the other play off will win that one by 5 or 7.

    How you doing BB? Hope well.

    Well done to PissAnt, David and the RW boykies…a reward well deserved and long overdue!!!!!
    I am a ‘retired’ blogger nowadays, but when I do engage in some ‘rugby studies’ now and then, it is either RW or RT, all I have time for unfortunately.
    Morne’s articles always enlightening, objective and and ‘unplagiarized’.
    Keep it up!!!
