And then there were two…
Thus the rugby world cup is drawing to to a close. As I am posting this, Australia is challenging Wales for the soon-to-be-forgotten title of Third at the cup. That’s worse than saying “from all who lost, I was the first”. This will be remembered as a slick, entertaining and mostly incident free world cup [...]

The only genuine upset was Ireland beating Australia. There was also been [...]

Springbok team to face Namibia
The springbok team to face Namibia has been announced. P Divvy made 5 changes from the team that beat Fiji. I’m glad to see that he decided to rest a few players, I’m also glad that Chilliboy and Juan de Jongh are in the squad, but I would’ve preffered them to be in the starting [...]

Springboks vs Fiji Preview
P divvy announced a strong team to face the “look like a lock, run like a wing” Fijians. Unlikely that the Boks will go down against them, but we said the same thing against Wales. A big surprise is Bakkies Lazarus Botha. Last week almost had his leg amputated and now he is in the [...]
