It seems WP rugby is being allowed and protected to cheat within the system, the same is not being afforded to the other unions, or are they ? Continue reading
Not so long ago people would have asked…Heinrich Who? But it took the little terrier a mere six months to establish himself as the premier fetcher (no Jake, he fetches more than beers!) in South Africa, if not the world.

Toying around with the probable teams for the Currie Cup Final, we compare the head-on collisions between the 2 Teams’s respective opposing players.
Hierdie week gaan lank wees, baie gaan gesê word. Aanvalle en teenaanvalle. Die res van die Land gaan natuurlik weer “unite” , natuurlik teen die Blou Bulle. Dis reg so , dis wat SA rugby in die isolasiejare aan die gang gehou het, die fanatiese provinsialisme.
In a somewhat quiet week only a few players gave their opinion on the final game of the 2009 Currie Cup. If I must decide who is the most outspoken lot my call would be the Cheetahs and their supporters.
The Currie Cup promotion / relegation match between the Platinum Leopards and the SWD Eagles took place today at Olën Park, Potchefstroom. The Platinum Leopards won 47 / 42, with the SWD Eagles coming back strongly near the end.
The Currie Cup promotion / relegation match between Boland and the Pumas took place today at Boland Park, Wellington. Boland won the match by a whisker, 36 / 35.

Louis Ludik and Willem Alberts have both recently indicated that they want to move to the Sharks. Both of them have received offers from the Durban side, and have also now received counter offers from the Lions.
2009 het gewys Vrystaat se rugby is gesond. Regdeur. Die Cheetahs se Craven week span, 0/19’s, 0/21’s, Vrouespan en Seniorspan het almal tot hulle onderskeie finale deurgedring. Dit is ‘n pluimpie vir die Vrystaat se rugby unie. Continue reading
I cannot help but think that people misunderstand the importance of a franchise in the Eastern Cape and what it will do for transformation in the game of rugby. Continue reading
The Vodacom Blue Bulls have done it on numerous occasions in 2009 and they did it again on Saturday at Newland when they managed to grind out the win in the last couple of minutes.
It is as if this group of players enjoys playing under enormous pressure and what is more – they have the ability to lift their game whenever the situation demands it. We will now take a quick look at what Frans Ludeke’s assistants said about the 21-19 victory: Continue reading
