With the entire nation having a similar opinion on the Proteas side, I’m convinced that the selectors will now buckle under the pressure for the second Test, before the series is too far gone. It starts with JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock It’s very rare in sport that a nation has similar thoughts on […]
Get off Duminy’s back and onto Domingo and Zondi’s
It’s a given – JP Duminy has been out of form for a considerable amount of time and doesn’t look like he’ll find it anytime soon. But instead of us all moaning at him, lets aim our rage at the men selecting him For the longest time, I’ve read online that JP Duminy is useless […]
Our Proteas starting XI for the 1st Test
Faf du Plessis is at home with his new-born child, Dale Steyn is injured and AB de Villiers couldn’t be bothered to play for South Africa against England, meaning the Proteas are missing plenty experience for the first Test. So who should start at Lords? It’s not ideal having those three unavailable, but at the same time, it […]

5 Super Star Springboks With Underwhelming Careers
Pierre Spies’ announcement that he is going to call it a day really stuck with me. Spies is a guy with all the talent in the world and despite playing 71 tests – it’s unlikely that we’ll recall his name as a Springbok legend when chatting around the braai in 20 years time. And he’s […]
The Proteas need a complete over-haul
So the knock-out stages haven’t even begun in this years Champions Trophy, and the Proteas are already booking rounds of golf or buying tickets for the London Eye, while the top sides (and Bangladesh) are preparing to try and lift the trophy. I’d love to say I’m shocked – but like many of you, I’m […]
The Proteas are number one – so why aren’t we positive?
The Champions Trophy has arrived and the Proteas are ranked number one in the world, like we usually are going into an ICC tournament – so why are we not confident about lifting the trophy? It’s not unusual for South Africa to go into ICC tournaments ranked as the best in the world. We seem to be experts at […]
Springbok flyhalf – who is the perfect 10?
Much like last year – a year that most Springbok fans would rather forget – the first XV selected is going to be interesting. One position that could prove to be particularly interesting is the highly important number 10 jumper. At this point, it seems like Allister Coetzee and crew have adopted a ‘lets forget […]
SEVENS RUGBY KEY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SA RUGBY SKILL-SET
Current rugby professionals, coaches and experts are adding their voices to the promotion of seven-a-side rugby at school-level as a mainstream sport. This, they believe, will benefit young players in solidifying their basic skill-set needed in order to be selected at provincial and national levels. By incorporating seven-a-side training into school rugby, experts also believe, […]
Chelsea and Spurs. Title run-in
With Chelsea being out-played by Manchester United, many people are suggesting Spurs are back in the title race. We can’t see it though, so let’s take a look at the run-in Tottenham Hotspur have not lost or drawn in the Premier League in their last seven matches and have just blown everyone away. In their seven straight wins, […]
