As the Boks head for Brisbane, scene of their infamous 49-0 defeat in 2006, the whines about bad refereeing are threatening to cloud the real problem. We forget that Richie McCaw was not offside while the All Blacks were scoring a record eight tries ... |

You have to feel for the Boks on tour. It has been brutal.
They have been pounded in New Zealand over the past two weeks, by a fired up, never-say-die All Blacks side that was waiting to peak against the Springboks. Now they face a Robbie Deans-in... |

Uruguay are not the most popular team in Africa at the moment, following what happened in their matches against Bafana Bafana and Ghana. They beat South Africa 3-0 in a game that dented Bafana's chances of qualifying for the la... |

One of the great successes of the 2010 World Cup -- and there have been many -- is how the special courts which were set up for the tournament have succeeded in dealing with the criminal activity that is part-and-parcel of hosting an event of this ma... |

South Africa is a unique place in that there is a blend of cultures and creeds here that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. Sadly for football fans, SA is now also home to the unwanted and unique record of being the only hosts to have not pr... |
