The Springboks need Bismarck Du Plessis
13 Sep 2011For the second test in a row, Bismarck Du Plessis has smashed his obvious superiority over Smit into Peter de Villiers’ face, and again, I expect, he will go ignored. The only reasonable explanation is that de Villiers is a madman. Those pointing to Smit’s leadership only have to look at one simple fact – [...]
All Blacks looking decidedly 2007
11 Sep 2011Sonny Bill Williams is being punished by Graham Henry. There was no other explanation for the pounding that man took against Tonga.

After Bismarck Du Plessis’ colossal performance against the All Blacks today, even the most jaundiced eye must admit that Smit [...]
All Blacks fitness proved key in lung busting Test
23 Aug 2010What a magnificent Test match! In a season where we’ve seen some one sided stinkers, and free flowing yawners, this was everything Test rugby should be about; it was brutal, exciting and ultimately heart breaking. The Boks were fantastic. The first half saw them dominate the Kiwis at the collision, drive them back on defense, [...]
