Jan 12, 2020 0 0

Growing up within walking distance of St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth, I spent my youth watching every match that came to town (as well as all practices). Before our re-admission, it was the mighty Eastern Province, led by Kepler Wessels, that had my complete devotion and I can...

Munster vs. Saracens at Thomond Park

Dec 20, 2019 0 0

The Proteas’ trials and tribulations at World Cups are well documented. In 27 years spanning seven World Cups before this one, barring our first in 1992 where the weather gods didn’t fancy the new kids on the international scene, we’ve somehow contrived to lose the plot. I...

Following the Springboks to Paris and Edinburgh

Nov 27, 2018 0 0

The Springboks first toured Europe over 100 years ago in 1906. In fact, it was during this tour that the nickname ‘Springboks’ was first used (the press were asked to refer to the team as ‘De Springbokken’ but the Daily Mail went with Springboks and it...

One of my earliest childhood memories is waking up at 4.30am on a Saturday morning to watch the Springboks play the All Blacks in New Zealand. When I was five, it was my dad who would get me up, cook us breakfast and wake me up when I dozed off. As the years passed, roles changed and it was...
