  Back where he belongs
  
  15 May 2012
  Frans Steyn will be given the opportunity to take ownership of the Springbok No 12 jersey upon his return to South Africa. Steyn has only started in 30 of his 47 Tests. Neither of his previous Test coaches has been sure of his best position, as he's featured at flyhalf, wing, in the centres and fullback. Neither Jake White nor Peter de Villiers started Steyn in one position for more than five consecutive games. BUY THE LATEST ISSUE NOW FOR R5.95 (DIGITAL EDITION) The good news is that the wild ride is over. There will be no roller-coaster, no uncertainty in 2012. No longer will Steyn's ... Read Article

  Bulls set to be stretched
  
  23 May 2012
  Pierre Spies predicts the Chiefs will replicate the Highlanders' expansive attack but warned that the Hamilton franchise is better equipped to penetrate the wide channels. The Highlanders' method was predictable in so much as the statistics leading into the contest reflected them as kicking the least in the tournament and having the most players in the top 20 for ball carries. The Bulls' defence held firm and they conceded just one try. However, the Highlanders often stretched them and at times they looked decidedly vulnerable. Good scramble defence snuffed out potential scoring opportunities, ... Read Article

  Wallabies lose O’Connor
  
  21 May 2012
  James O'Connor has lost his battle to recover from injury in time for the Wallabies' June internationals. O'Connor suffered a lacerated liver in a match against the Waratahs in late April, but the Wallabies' selectors had hoped he would be fit for selections for Tests against Scotland and Wales. However, O'Connor confirmed his unavailability on Twitter, saying: 'Disappointing result-Liver healing very nicely jst [sic] going to run out of time...if only I had a couple more weeks up my sleeve.' Australia's other big injury concern, flyhalf Quade Cooper, made a solid return to action for the ... Read Article

  Slam dunk for Dragons
  
  17 Mar 2012
  Wales beat France 16-9 in Cardiff to claim their third Grand Slam in eight years and avenge their World Cup semi-final defeat. The Dragons now have 11 Grand Slams in total, just one less than arch-rivals England, and you wouldn't bet against them adding a couple more in the near future. Warren Gatland's side may be Six Nations champions but they can, and should, get better. France, in contrast, are in a downward spiral having finished their campaign with a draw and two defeats, and coach Philippe Saint-Andre has a lot of work to do. The French made a good start to this game and deservedly ... Read Article

  Kearney beats Pienaar to Euro award
  
  21 May 2012
  Ireland and Leinster fullback Rob Kearney was named European Player of the Year on Monday. The 26-year-old received his award after Leinster powered to their third European Cup in four years last weekend. Kearney, who has 41 Test caps for Ireland and the British and Irish Lions, played a key part during the club's campaign as he scored six tries and was a star feature in the backline. Kearney has also helped Leinster reach the Pro12 final, which will be against the Ospreys on Sunday. Kearney beat four other players to the prestigious accolade - Ulster scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar, Ulster flank ... Read Article

  Tuks power to Varsity Cup triumph
  
  9 Apr 2012
  GARETH DUNCAN watched Tuks rally to a 29-21 win over Maties in the 2012 Varsity Cup final in Pretoria. Forget the mixed reactions to the new scoring system and the late controversy following the team selection scandal, this final was a great advert for the Varsity Cup: rugby that rocks. Tuks clinched their first title as they beat three-time champions Maties in an epic finish to the year. It was a ferocious, physical battle between the two teams, especially up front among the forwards. The tackle points and rucks resembled a war zone as players put their bodies on the line to give their troops ... Read Article

  More heartbreak for Blitzboks
  
  13 May 2012
  The Springbok Sevens were beaten 19-17 by England in the Plate semi-finals on day two of the London Sevens. The Blitzboks led 17-15 against England as the final hooter sounded, and looked like advancing to the Plate title-decider. However, a poor defensive effort at the death saw Bishops old boy Mat Turner run away for the match-winning score - a move that was created from behind their own tryline. It was closely-contested match as South Africa led 10-5 at half-time. A Cornal Hendricks brace kept Blitzboks ahead as England crossed the chalk via Tom Powell. Sam Edgerly gave the hosts the ...

  Province end trophy drought
  
  18 May 2012
  WP snatched a dramatic 20-18 victory in Friday's Vodacom Cup final to win their first title in 11 years. Not since Western Province lifted the 2001 Currie Cup has a Cape side won a senior competition. WP left it until the last play to secure Friday's result, but the manner of victory will not worry the Capetonians. The silverware will bring a small degree of relief to a union that's had no success in terms of winning titles over the past decade. Province may have come into this clash unbeaten, but they were the lesser side for much of the game. Griquas were dominant at the set pieces and ... Read Article

  Sanzar comp dictates RWC start
  
  16 May 2012
  The start of the 2015 World Cup will be moved back a fortnight so that the Rugby Championship is not disrupted. According to reports in England, the Rugby Football Union had been pressing for a 4 September start to the tournament. This would, however, conflict with the southern hemisphere showpiece, and the four Test teams involved were hoping the World Cup will start later on 25 September. The International Rugby Board met on Tuesday to discuss the matter, and a compromise was reached. The 2015 global tournament will start on 18 September. The IRB also discussed the way the income of ... Read Article
