Dear Martin This year I had the privilege of sitting back and viewing the Elizabeth Galloway graduate collections from the front row (rare for me as I’m usually part of the technical team). This afforded me the opportunity to have the full audience experience. And I must say I was absolutely blown away. It was... Continue Reading →

NEW ZEALAND (18) 40 SOUTH AFRICA (7) 7 Never has the saying “men against boys” been more apt as on this sad day for Springbok rugby. We can only hope that Rassie Erasmus is working some magic with the Rustenburg 21 at the training camp, sorry “collective rehabilitation gathering” as it is officially known, so... Continue Reading →
Morne Steyn, the hero of the Lions series in 2009, is in the last chance saloon regarding his starting position at flyhalf going into the World Cup, Springbok coach Peter de Villiers hinted on the eve of tomorrow’s Tri-Nations match in the New Zealand capital. The question of whether the Blue Bull is a boon... Continue Reading →
The South African Rugby Union went on confrontational attack this morning as the best form of defence of the alleged Springbok training camp in Rustenburg that is running concurrently with the Tri-Nations tour to Australia and New Zealand. In fact, CEO Jurie Roux angrily denied that there is a training camp at all, telling a... Continue Reading →
Never mind calling it the Tri-Nations, as far as the Springboks are concerned, this is more of a phoney war they are waging in Sydney and Wellington. Actually it is more of a pantomime considering the real Springboks are in a training camp in Rustenburg, most of them not injured at all, while a plainly... Continue Reading →
The Springboks were left under no illusions that they are in ultimate rugby country when they walked into the arrivals hall at the Wellington airport yesterday – and straight into a barrage of TV crews and reporters who gave coach Peter de Villiers and captain John Smit a grilling over the composition of the tour...

Gio Aplon and Flip van der Merwe will fly home to South African tomorrow morning at just about the same time as the depleted Springbok squad moves on to Wellington for Saturday’s Tri-Nations Test against New Zealand, and this will mean a first start in a Bok jersey for Patrick Lambie and a debut for...

The Springboks are discovering that when it rains in New South Wales it downright pours. The weather is almost always sunny in winter here but 80mm have fallen over the last few days and this July is already the wettest since 1950 and the second wettest since 1858! Neither team was allowed to have a... Continue Reading →
MIKE GREENAWAY IN Sydney This time four years ago, John Smit and his band of “injured” Springboks watched Bob Skinstad’s dirt-trackers give the Wallabies the scare of their lives, and the watching Boks got a little sweaty themselves. “We had a braai at Schalk Burger’s wine farm (the squad was in Cape Town for a...

MIKE GRENAWAY IN SYDNEY THERE quite rightly has been a lot of positivity about the Springbok match 22 picked for tomorrow’s Tri-Nations Test against Australia, mostly because it contains many form players from the recently ended Super Rugby competition. But at the risk of being the party-pooper, some sobering facts need to be pointed out... Continue Reading →
STEYN PLAYING FOR HIS RWC POSITION, NEVERMIND THE YOUNGSTERS The Springbok coaching staff have emphasised that the youngsters on Tri-Nations duty this week in Sydney and next week in Wellington have the opportunity to play themselves into Rugby World Cup contention, but the man with the most at stake is the current flyhalf incumbent, Morne...

The last time Peter de Villiers was in Australia, elements of the local media lampooned him as a clown on a national television show in the build-up to the Tri-Nations Test in Brisbane (which the Boks lost badly). After the match, the campaign against him continued when former Wallaby hooker, Brendan Cannon asked him if... Continue Reading →
THE manner in which Samoa went about dismantling the Wallabies at the ANZ Stadium on Sunday night has been keenly noted by the Springboks, and although the much-chastised Australians will be in a different frame of mind for the Tri-Nations opener, the Springboks reckon the Samoan recipe will work again if the Boks can dominate...

Three to make Springbok debut against Australia Three of the form South African players of the Vodacom Super Rugby season will make their international debuts against Australia on Saturday, following the announcement of the Springbok team in Sydney today. Props Dean Greyling and Werner Kruger and looseforward Ashley Johnson were named by coach Peter de... Continue Reading →
IT was an almost eerily subdued arrival for the Springboks in Sydney yesterday, with barely a sole acknowledging their presence at the arrivals hall when in previous years the full-strength Boks have been accustomed to being trumpeted onto the bus to the tune of Sarie Marais by a Cape-style band, while thronged by autograph-hunting, homesick...
