All the other South African teams have rested their Springboks to ensure that they don't play more than a full 5 games in a row. Lambie, Coetzee and Reinach are going straight into their 6th consecutive game. This has set a precedent to all the other teams and has shown SARU that they do not...

SARU and Local Unions have come to a compromise. Contracted Boks won't play more than 5 games in a row. The contracted SHARKS players are Marcell Coetzee (loose forward), Patrick Lambie (flyhalf/fullback), JP Pietersen Willem Alberts (loose forward), Bismarck du Plessis (hooker), Jannie du...

Mr. Draggs, Sharks are up against it from here. 8 games to go, 4 on tour and 2 x games vs. the Bulls. I reckon Sharks wil lose 3rd in a row vs. Chiefs this coming weekend. You need to score tries to win this compo and Sharks have only managed to score a try in 3 out of 8 games so far. 13 tries...

Sharks to win at home, that is what I would normally bet on but I sense a bit of panic in the Sharks camp. They have only lost 2 x games but are dropping top class players when they can least afford to with key player injuries. Jp Pieterson, Ludik (good form) is injured, Jannie dropped to the...

I don't know if it has been confirmed but rumour has it that Elton Jantjies will be joining province for next years Super XV campaign. Catrakillis is moving the the Southern Kings (PE). Peter Grant and Elton will definitely add depth to the ranks.

Spare a thought for Schalk Burger and Jean De Villiers still have not actively won a Currie Cup!

Well done to WP on a brilliant season ending top of Super XV, winning the U19 Currie Cup, Vodacom Cup, Super XV Conference Cup & the Premier Currie Cup. Supporters can't ask for more than that in 1 year! What makes the Currie Cup victory even more impressive is that WP played without Schalk...

If the Transvaal LIONS can beat the Springboks (SHARKS) and the STORMERS can beat the PINK Springboks imagine what the ENGLAND team is going to do to them? Hope the Springboks don't play in PINK on Saturday! Only 3 x Springboks selected from the STORMERS, this after beating the BULLS on...

Marcel Coetzee cost the Sharks the opportunity to win the game tonight. Sharks may be in more trouble than I anticipated and noted in my previous post above. Stormers stole three crucial lineouts in the 2nd half and the Stormers destroyed the Sharks come scrum time. As much as you disagree with...

Sharks probably have the strongest starting team of the 5 SA conferences but they lack depth in crucial positions. With John Smit gone and Beast injured for 3 months the Sharks may struggle up front come the end of the season. Also, Sharks have bought Tim Whitehead but still lack depth at...

France have no pressure and Lievremont may become the 2nd coach after Jake White to lose his job after winning the RWC. If France can take the early lead it will be an interesting game otherwise I see NZ running away with it!

In tennis they call it a back draw. If you are knocked out of your group you go into a Plate Section. The top 2 teams of each group would still continue as usual while the bottom two from each group would fight for the plate! It would be great if this could be done. I personally feel that...

I hope Lawrence watched the Semi Final to get some tips on how to ref the breakdown in a rugby game!

Would love for the King Commissioner to get involved, check his bank details internationally (money laundering possibilites) and future purchases. I am sure Bryce has made enough moola from this transaction to RETIRE comfortably. At least we know he won't dissapear like Hansie Cronje & Bob...

I think the IRB should look at how Referee's are examined and paid. They should get a basic fee for officiating a match and get paid extra after a been rated out of 10. This will encourage referee's to do a proper job. If a referee has a record of low scores he must get the chop! I won't...

I think TNT may be Bryce Laurence himself. Sounds like he is trying to convince himself. TNT likes his stats so maybe he should have a look at all the stats in this match. There is no way Oz should have won with those stats. They were helped along nicely.... At the end of the day the BETTER...

Bryce was sucking Pocock!

Bryce Lawrence = Man of the match!
