Team of the Year -- Close one between the *choke*Bulls*choke* and the Bokke here. I'll go for the Bokke purely on the fact that a Lions Series is a real era-defining win.
Player of the Year -- He calls the shots like no other and leaves an imprint...
Wian du Preez 7 -- Good, solid if unspectacular debut. Welcome onboard son. Good to have a sound alternative to Beast.

It has been exhausting, but most of all it has been painful to ...

It seems that there is a poor understanding of the history of the anti-apartheid struggle when it comes to the Springbok brand. It is the one brand of which all national groups may well be proud. Butana Komphela ha...
One sometimes has to wonder, open mouthed, at the myopia of people within rugby administration and their inability to recognise how to be relevant in modern day society in South Africa and the rest of the world, especially when the game of ru...
