    Stofile says "NO!" to Rugby Quotas!

    Today has been a very eventful day in sports news. From the possibility that Michael Schumacher could race in the 2009 F1, to Morné Steyn replacing Ruan Pienaar, to SA losing their 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cup bids, to the possibility that SA could host the 2020 Olympic Games. Yet I find that...

    Ruan out, Morné in

    Ruan Pienaar's errant kicking was at the center of discussion at yesterday's team selection meeting, and when the Springbok team selection will be announced today, it is expected that Ruan Pienaar will be replaced by Morné Steyn in the starting XV.

    "It's not Luke vs. Loftus!"

    WP coach, Allister Coetzee, defended WP captain, Luke Watson, at a press conference today, saying "we're going to Loftus as a team. It's not Luke vs the Bulls or Luke vs Loftus!". This comes after Luke Watson was booed during a Super14 game earlier this year against the Bulls at Loftus...

    SuperSport Forgets 'R'

    In which is propably the funniest typo on TV in a long time, SuperSport involuntarily insulted all 'player23's' by refering to 'Springbok Scrum Power' in an on-screen graphic during highlights of the game as 'Springbok Scum Power'!

    It's Not Rugger... It's RUGBY!

    I so hate it when people refer to my beloved sport as 'rugger' or 'rugga'. It's RUGBY! That's what it's called. Nothing else. (PS. Go my Bulletjies! Ek is lief vir julle! Maak my dag môre. Ag, maak my fkn JAAR! Jul is legends!)

    Springbok Team against Lions.

    Who would be your match 22 if the Boks had to run onto the field tomorrow against the Lions? Would be interesting to see how people's teams differ. After the weekends game I'm sure as hell that Morne Steyn should be in the group. What do you guys and girls think?

    Cheetahs Destroy Sharks!!!

    In what seemed like an easy match for the Cheetahs, the worst team in the Super14, they destoyed the number 1 team, The Sharks, 31 - 6!!! Shocking! :eek: The Sharks though seemed unphased by the loss. Perhaps because they know they are so far ahead in the Super14 that they would need to lose...

    Bulls will win!!! I've got that fuzzy feeling!

    My fuzzy feeling is never wrong. Last week I had a fuzzy feeling that they would lose last week's match. I had no substantial reason to think they would, just a feeling. Last week the Bulls did play into direct sunlight in the 1st half at that poorly built k.a.k stadium in NZ that offered no...

    ELV's...which will stay which will go...

    SO the IRB have had their meeting for the last two days on this and have made some recommendations on which ELV's should stay and which laws (ELV's) should be done away with. I'm in favour of everything recommended except for one. The fact that each team can determine their own numbers in the...

    [Reader Letter; Beeld] 'Joost so vrot dis nie eens snaaks'

    Beeld I must admit, I have great admiration for Joost vd Westhuizen as a rugby player, but not as a commentator. His knowledge of the law of the game is shocking to say the least!

    Please help to save the springbok emblem...

    Here is the email that I have sent out. Please forward this to all of your contacts - thank you... As many of you probably already know, plans to change our national rugby emblem from the springbok to the protea are in an advanced stage, after our government’s previous and numerous failed...

    When did rugby refs become assistant coaches?

    This is really starting to annoy me now. Referees seeing a player in an offside position for example who is clearly interfering with play, either directly or indirectly. He will then shout at the player to get back - why!!!?? Just penalise him already man!!! A player in an off-side position...

    Ellis Park stadium very scary

    on the 30th of August we (myself and a handfull of girl friends) watched the bokke stomping the Ausies. At the end of the match the place was riddled with drunks. When we walked out we were harassed and pushed around by a group of 5 drunk guys and there was just no security to be found? And...

    Bulls Pivot sign at Leicester Tigers

    Blue Bulls flyhalf Derrich Hougaard has signed a 3 year contract to play rugby at Leicester Tigers with his mentor and coach Heyneke Meyer... Link This is very sad, but I wish him well and hope that he reaches all his goals while there! He will surely be missed! This is a great loss...
