Springboks are better than the All Blacks

I was reading an article on Keo.co.za which was titled Boks under achieve in 2008 . Fair enough I thought, this would be an article probably talking about the poor Tri-Nations the Boks had and how they stuttered in their opening two games of the end of year tour. But then the first sentence in...

Springboks 42 – England 6

What a game! Firstly, to all those on this forum who doubted the Boks the whole of last week, I hope you are eating humble pie now! Never ever right off the Boks. Right them off at your own peril! Not only did the Springboks win but they inflected the worst defeat England has had...

PDV has picked his XV to take on Wales this weekend. No major surprises as it is a XV we had largely predicted and PDV had given us hints over the last couple of weeks what the makeup of the team will be. But all of us will not agree with the XV that has...
