Sport Well, what a (lame duck) final, the world champions winning by whole 1 Point !
At least the Currie Cup semi finals were exciting with the Lions now having to face off against the Sharks at Ellis Park. Go Lions !
The Bulls seem to have lost the plot, with them fading in Super Rugby and not even featuring in the Currie Cup. Come on guys – pull your heads out of your asses !
I wonder who’ll be the new coach of the Springboks – guess we’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully this time the choice will be based on merit and ability, not color.

Sport I am a huge rugby fan, and enjoy pretty much every rugby competition that my two teams, the Bulls and the Springboks take part in. From Super Rugby, to Tri Nations to the Currie Cup.
Every 4 years, the rugby world cup rolls around and our stress levels increase and our hearts pound as we watch our countries take each other on. But I must admit that this years contest and has been a pile of shit (and this isn’t purely because my team was knocked out in the quarter finals). With teams like Japan, not winning a single game. Teams being in the wrong pools and games being played between very very strong teams and very week teams. The result being a score that would be more appropriate to a cricket match.
If I didn’t know better I’d say that this world cup was skewed to give a certain team a more than even chance of winning. The northern hemisphere teams have been disgraceful, with the exception of Wales and Ireland. The Frogs don’t deserve to be in the final. I hope the All Blanks crush them.
Last but not least, I reckon that Super Rugby is a far better competition when it comes to determining who is the best team in the world. Teams play rugby from February to July, with the winning team having to win close on 16 games in order for them to be crowned champions. Rugby world cup takes 2 months to sort out, with teams often making it through by default (like the Welsh captains tip tackle in their game against Australia) or as a result of horrific refereeing (yes Bryce, I’m talking about you).
World cups are great, but they by no means crown the best team in the world at the end of the Cup.

Sport I make no excuses for the poor performance of my team. But I would beg to remind you dear reader that this team is not to be written off lightly. This weeekend they will reach deep and yank to the surface the warriors I know that lurk just below the surface. You have been warned, so be ready all you who dare criticise the men in the green and gold, for on Saturday we cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war !

Sport It’s week 10 and the Bulls have won 8 games so far and are third on the log. I have a bet with a friend that the Bulls will beat the Stromers on the 15th of May – here’s hoping !

Sport I was there yesterday, at Ellis Park, when the Springboks, in the face of adversity, stood tall, and thrashed the Ozzies. Thanks Peter, for yesterday, and for Dunedin ! A new era has dawned for South African rugby. I just wish could say the same about our Cricket team.

Sport I just want to say a big up yours to the Blues and the Reds. I hope you dickheads get what you deserve. If you can’t win games honestly, then get the frack off the field.
