Looking forward to the Tri-Nations this year, although it is deemed to be an anti-climax to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Tri-Nations 2010 Fixtures:
10 July, 09:35 - New Zealand vs. South Africa - Auckland, NZ - Result: 32 - 12 to New Zealand
17 July, 09:35 - New Zealand vs. South Africa -...
Not going to create a new thread for every specific thing, and sometimes you can't post in existing threads because it is not relative to any of those threads.
Lets discuss rugby in general.
News, Results, Fixtures, etc....
Last night my old school played their first game under lights. It seemed to me like it could be quite a nice idea, as it allows a lot more people to come and watch the games. I'm just wondering if other schools around the country are doing this too. Also, what do you guyts think, is it a good...
I know that it's not good rugby and most people will only be watching the Super 14, but for those of us without Super Rugby franchises this is all the rugby we get.
Fixtures for the first week:
Friday:
Griquas v Blue Bulls AR Abass Stadium, Kimberley 17:00
Sharks XV v Border Kings...
Bryan Habana hat-trick breaks New Zealand's unbeaten tour
The Barbarians (featuring several Springboks) beat NZ for the 2nd time in history. Unfortunately the game was not televised but thankfully someone uploaded the match to Youtube.

Irish team looks good and we are just waiting for the Bok team to be announced but it looks as though John Smit might be back at no 2. Ad might make space for Wynand...

Scotland beats the Aussies 9 - 8 in an epic clash. Such defense.

Now to try and calm down :D
I don't fully agree with everything thusfar but congrats to everybody that wins!
I think the Puke award is a major 'gatkruip oomblik' and he so not deserve it but that is just my opinion.
Team of the Year: Springboks (:confused:)
Players Player of the Year: Morné Steyn
SA Rugby Player of...
Seeing that there is a thread for the Sharks and The Bulls I thought it fitting that I open a thread for myself:p and any other Cheetah supporters out there.
Last 10 years or so have been good for the Cheetahs on domestic front. Not so much in the Super 14.
I'll start the Thread by...

Well done! I hope that this leads to some serious action by die people in power! Some drastic action should be taken with regards to this matter because the abuse towards referees...

This is really good news!! I hope that SA Rugby Impliments this as soons as possible in the Currie Cup. Uncontested scrums is the worst thing that can happen to a rugby game! I had a game this week which had uncontested scrums for the last 20min of the game and it changed the game completely.
The reason the Heidelberg Rugby Club was banned from rugby for 15 years...
This is just sick and I am sorry that they weren't banned for longer, but a 15 year ban will have a major impact on them already.
I feel sorry for some players as it was only one or two that caused all the trouble...
Bryan Habana may make a move from the Blue Bulls to Western Province. He is currently in Cape Town, in talks with WP executives. The Blue Bulls RU may find their bill much bigger if they want Habana to stay with the Bulls. This comes after Wynand Olivier agreed on a bigger contract with the...
When the Boks play their Tri-Nations game against the Wallabies this Saturday, it will also be the 50th time that Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha team up for the Springboks. Both these players are absolute rugby legends.
I think it's safe to say that the Griquas have proven themselves as a strong and formidable force. After winning all 4 of their Currie Cup matches so far this season, 3 of them with bonus points, beating 2 of SA's top 4 teams (Cheetahs, Lions), they now rank far supreme on the Currie Cup log...
When John Smit appears on the field for South Africa this coming Saturday against the All Blacks, he will officially become the world's most capped international captain, beating George Gregan's record.
