  • Hoe goed is Dale Steyn nou rêrig?

    As jy na die video kyk dan kan enige ou wat ‘n bietjie van krieket weet sien Dale Steyn kan onspeelbare balle afstuur. In my opinie is sy beste enkele balle nog ooit: Yorker vir Michael Vaughn (Eng) in 2004 Outswinger vir Brad Haddin (Aus) in 2008 in die 3rde toets in Australie Yorker vir…

  • Boesmansriviermond Boeresport

    Toe ek grootgeword het was die Boeresport een van die beste goed omtrent Desember vakansies by Boesmans. Ek is seker dit was altyd op die 1ste gewees, maar die jaar was dit die 31ste Desember. Die Boeresport word afgeskop deur ‘n marathon tussen Boesmans mond en Kwaaihoek. Daarna is dit naellope en die oggend hoogtepunt:…

  • My best round of Golf in ages

    Yesterday I had my best 9 holes in more than 10 years. I scored a ringless round of 51 at the Alexandria Golf Club. This was also my 4th game in 10 years so I am very pleased. I hit 3 great approach shots. The best was an 8-iron out of the rough that landed…

  • Spare a thought for Charl Langeveldt

    Charl Langeveldt is another victim of South Africa’s disastrous sports Transformation policy. Strangely though, Charl Langeveldt is a player “of colour” and as such supposed to benefit from “Transformation”. As readers may know André Nel was very publicly dropped from South Africa’s cricket tour to India in favour of Charl Langeveldt. The reason for Nel’s…

  • My bad experience with Bernie Habana & Don MacRobert

    I am a huge Blue Bulls fan so a couple of years ago when Bryan Habana joined the Bulls I was delighted; I instantly knew this kid was going to go places. This prompted me to register BryanHabana.com. I tried on several occasions to get Bryan Habana through Bernie (his dad also his agent) involved…

  • Robbie Hunter jou doring!!

    Gister het Robbie Hunter die 1ste Suid-Afrikaner en Afrikaan geword om ‘n skof in die Tour de France te wen. Ek is ‘n groot rugby ondersteuner, maar ek admireer ouens soos Robbie Hunter en Roland Schoeman meer omdat hulle baie meer moet opoffer om hulle sport te kan be-oefen. Hierdie wen sal al die moeilike…

  • Racist ANC to destroy Springbok legacy

    It has emerged that the ANC, through its influence, aims to take over Springbok Rugby after this year’s world cup. Rumours are that the Springbok team will be coached by a sub-standard coloured coach (Pieter de Villiers) and will have 10 black/coloured players on the field at all times. Luke Watson is set to be…

  • South Africa contributes to Rugby at a fundamental level

    Stellenbosch students in association with the IRB are looking at changing rugby to be more of a spectacle. Read more here. I suspect this is to help Rugby Union in the constant battle for TV ratings. I’m all for it.

  • Bulls EARN respect. Not even my words!

    The article below was posted by an independant journalist although I have it on good authority that he is actually a WP supporter. But I agree with him. Looking at the facts how could you not. Read JJ Harmse’s take on the Bulls.

  • Back to the dark days for the Boks

    The Springboks were given their 2nd worst drubbing in history today. They were absolutely smashed by a Wallaby side that was murdered by an All-Black side last week. The Wallabies were good, but the biggest reason for today’s loss was how bad the Springboks were. I was at the 53-3 loss against England and I…
