Du Preez brothers & Wiese to the fore as Bok No 8

Published

on

Jean-Luc du Preez, his brother Dan and Jasper Wiese’s starting No 8 stocks have risen dramatically with uncertainty around first choice Duane Vermeulen’s participation in the British & Irish Lions three-Test series.

Vermeulen lasted just 32 minutes in the Bulls 31-27 Rainbow Cup win against the Stormers in Pretoria and as he hobbled off with an ankle injury, his body language spoke of the seriousness of the injury.

The Springbok coaching staff confirmed Vermeulen in the squad of 46, with a full medical assessment on Monday. It doesn’t look good and don’t be surprised if Vermeulen is ruled out of the series.

The Du Preez brothers, Jean-Luc and Dan, have been outstanding for Sale Sharks in the English Premiership and Wiese has been equally dynamic for Leicester. What will count in the overseas-based trio’s favour is that none in the Lions squad are foreign to them. These are the blokes they battle domestically and in the European competitions.

Jean-Luc has been playing at flank and No 8 and in 2019 also played lock for Sale. Initially, his inclusion looked like the ideal banker to add to the famous World Cup substitute bench, who called themselves the Bomb squad because of the destruction when they were introduced into a match.

Now he could be the go to No 8, especially as he has more international experience than brother Dan and the uncapped Wiese.

Another option that won’t be discounted is the possibility of playing (Jean-Luc) du Preez and Pieter-Steph du Toit as flankers and Springbok captain Siya Kolisi at No 8.

The Bok coaches, while anxious on Vermeulen, are understood to be confident in the squad depth at No 8.

Bok head coach Jacques Nienaber in his first squad selection predictably entrusted the available 2019 World Cup-winning players and added a mix of youth in the extended squad.

Very few of the newbies are likely to play against the Lions in the Test series, with most of them the starters for the SA ‘A’ midweek fixture in the week leading into the first Test at the Cape Town Stadium on 24th July.

There are eight uncapped players in the 46 and 22 of the players are either based overseas fulltime or split their domestic/club rugby in South Africa and Japan.

Investec Champions Cup last 16: Prem power, French flair & URC’s surge

Seven English Prem clubs headline the Investec Champions Cup last 16, but the URC’s rise, led by the Stormers and Glasgow Warriors, is redefining the race for Europe’s biggest club rugby prize.

The English Prem does it carry the global romance of France’s Top 14, but when it comes to substance, resilience, week-in, week-out brutality, it remains one of the toughest proving grounds in club rugby. And seven Prem clubs in the Investec Champions Cup last 16 makes the statement even stronger.

Prem depth, URC momentum and French power define Investec Champions Cup knockouts

The Top 14 has four clubs left in the play-offs and the United Rugby Championship has five, including South Africa’s Stormers and Bulls.

The Prem gets a lot of stick, especially in South Africa, but it is a power league and the English club challenge in the Investec Champions Cup is always strong.

The narrative has long been that the French Top 14 is the sport’s financial and cultural powerhouse, a league of global appeal, stacked with internationals from every corner of the rugby world. It is true because nearly half the league is made up of foreign talent but what the Prem lacks in glamour, it makes up with performance in Europe.

The Premier produces teams conditioned for knockout rugby. And this season, that edge has translated into European relevance, with seven clubs carrying England’s flag into the last 16.

The URC’s initial Champions Cup challenge was in Ireland’s Leinster, but this season Glasgow’s Warriors and the Stormers have made an even bigger statement than four-time champions Leinster.

Five URC teams in the knockout stages tells its own story of evolution, of South African influence, and of a competition that has hardened dramatically in the last three seasons.

At the centre of this are the Cape Town-based Stormers.

They have won three of four in the Champions Cup pool stages and 11 of 14 in the URC. Only the Glasgow Warriors have been better in the URC, and even that gap feels fragile given the Stormers’ balance between power and invention.

Glasgow’s URC and Champions Cup returns are the benchmark in the 2025/26 season, and they have matured from pretenders of in Europe to genuine title contenders, with their win at home against Toulouse in the pool stages one of the great nights of Champions Cup history.

France arrive at this weekend’s knockouts with fewer numbers but familiar menace.

Toulouse and Bordeaux are proper title contenders, and the bracket has guaranteed that one will reach the semi-finals. If both win at home in the last 16, as they should, then defending champions Bordeaux will host Toulouse in the last eight.

Bordeaux, brilliant in an unbeaten the Investec Champions Cup pool campaign, are the contradiction that defines French rugby.

Just 12 wins from 20 in the Top 14 suggests inconsistency, and vulnerability in depth, but in the Champions Cup, with their internationals available, they have been the most potent attacking force in the competition, with a set piece to match their terrific transition play.

Home advantage is massive in the Champions Cup. Historically, away play-off wins have been rare, but there has been enough evidence this season that what always seemed improbable, like travelling and winning in the last 16, is not to be dismissed on the evidence of history.

I sense a different history being written this weekend, one that favours form.

Stunning Stellenberg schools Grey College in historic win

Stellenberg schools Grey College

Stellenberg’s class of 2026 are history makers. They have stunned South Africa’s schools rugby giants Paarl Gim and Grey College in the past fortnight in the most dramatic two victories.

Stunning Stellenberg on top of the world

The win against Paarl Gim came at home in the northern suburbs of Western Province, but it was at the traditional home of Bulls schools rugby, Affies, that the boys from Stellenberg got the prized head of Grey College, South Africa’s most consistent performing rugby school for the past 25 years.

Stellenberg, giant slayers a year ago, are now the giants.

In 2025 they beat all four traditional Western Province southern suburbs schools – Wynberg, Bishops, Rondebosch and SACS – and pushed Outeniqua to the brink. This year, it all came to fruition, first in the 20-19 win against Paarl Gim and then Grey College.

The transformation, as outlined in reporting by Rugby365, didn’t happen overnight. Head coach Hein Molnar traces it back to around 2017, when the school shifted its ambition from being the best in the northern suburbs to competing with, and beating, the Western Cape’s traditional heavyweights.

SA Schools Rugby is prospering.

The strategy was clear: build depth, not just a first XV.

Stellenberg invested heavily in their pipeline, prioritising development from U14 level through to U19. Instead of chasing talent with bursaries, they focused on retaining local players and offering a comparable rugby experience to the big-name schools. Crucially, they strengthened coaching structures across all teams, appointing specialist forwards and backline coaches throughout the system.

The result? A programme that now fields 21 teams and produces players conditioned to compete at the highest level.

Equally important has been continuity. Key coaching figures have remained in place for years, creating consistency in philosophy and standards. That stability, combined with long-term planning, has driven a steady upward curve.

Handre Pollard makes powerful Bulls & Boks statement

Handre Pollard converted the big moment penalty kicks to ensure the Bulls remain a United Rugby Championship play-off contender.

Handre Pollard Bulls No 10

Handre Pollard converted the big moment penalty kicks to ensure the Bulls remain a United Rugby Championship play-off contender. Pollard made a powerful statement that he is integral to the Bulls title challenge and the Springboks 2027 World Cup defence.

Handre Pollard puts the boot into Munster

Pollard kicked two long range penalties in the final quarter that proved decisive in the Bulls 34-31 win against Munster at Loftus in Pretoria.

South Africa’s 2023 World Cup goal kicking hero, the scorer of all 12 points in the one point win against the All Blacks in the final, was used sparingly in the 2025 Springboks season. But be sure that Pollard remains massive to the Springboks and even bigger to the Bulls in their search for a first URC title after three losing finals in the league’s first four seasons.

The Bulls are eighth, well positioned to challenge for a top four finish when the URC resumes in the third week of April.

The Investec Champions Cup last 16 and last eight will be the focus in the first two weeks of April and Pollard will be pivotal to the last 16 match against Glasgow in Glasgow.

Keo’s Bulls Takeways

Potency in the scrum.

Ruan Nortje, the best lock in South Africa.

Embrose Papier, influential and brilliant at No 9.

Cheswill Jooste, the SA under 20 winger who will play for the Springboks this season.

Pollard, the master off the kicking tee, and all-round general.

Keo’s Lions Takeaways

The scrum

The composure

The defensive desire

The maturity in game management, courtesy of No 10 Chris Smith.

Quan Hỏrn, the most under appreciated fullback in South Africa.

Ruan Venter, he is the going to have a breakthrough international season.

The Bulls beat the Dragons 42-26, to be the first team to pass 400 points in the league this season.

The top five position is the best return after 14 rounds for the Lions in the history of the league.

Keo’s Stormers Takeaways

Evan Roos is the most consistent and best performing No 8 among the SA URC quartet.

Damian Willemse is good enough to play anywhere in the backline.

Scrum potency.

Paul de Villiers and Deon Fourie represent two generations, in age difference, among specialist flankers who play to the ball. In tandem, they could be the equal, in effectiveness, of George Smith and Phil Waugh for the Wallabies, when the Australians were world champions.

Individual brilliance and lethal transition play makes them a machine that can misfire for 65 minutes, only to turn a deficit into a 19 point win, as illustrated in the 33-14 win against Edinburgh in Cape Town.

The Stormers, with their 11th win of the league season, are second to Glasgow.

Keo’s Sharks Takeaways

JP Pietersen’s impact as head coach.

Andre Esterhuizen’s growth as captain and presence in the midfield.

Ox Nche and Vincent Koch’s power in the scrums.

The Sharks, thanks to Pietersen’s philosophy and approach, finally appreciating there is as much honour in making a tackle as there is glory in scoring a try.

Great mental resolves to beat Cardiff 21-15 and continue their league climb from 14th to 10th.

The Stormers have made Cape Town South Africa’s rugby capital

Stormers crowd attendance at DHL Stadium tells the real story. Cape Town is South Africa’s rugby capital and the numbers back it.

Published

Cape Town is South Africa’s rugby capital – and the Stormers crowd attendance proves it. The numbers are bigger than any other club, and it goes beyond nostalgia and history. Newlands had 131 years to build its legacy and the DHL Stadium, in just five years, is producing bigger moments, bigger crowds and a stronger connection with the public.

Stormers crowd attendance: DHL Stadium, Cape Town numbers don’t lie

The Stormers moved homes from Newlands to Green Point in 2021, but significantly they have moved the market that speaks to an occasion more than it does a rugby match.

The Stormers have done it, post Covid, and in a competition that includes previously unfamiliar northern hemisphere club teams and playing some of their biggest derbies in late December and early January, a summer season peak that is incomparable in its challenge to anything experienced, season-wise, in Super Rugby’s history from 1996 to 2019.

In the history of the URC, across 85 league matches, the Stormers are the most successful South African side and second only to Leinster overall. They are also the competition’s most successful finals team, with one title and two home finals. The Bulls have reached three finals – two away and one at home – and have yet to win the title.

Different season, bigger Stormers crowd attendance Cape Town

Super Rugby’s February start meant Capetonians were never asked to show up at a stadium to support the Stormers in December and January, in the heart of summer, holiday and cricket season, but those months are integral to the URC league season, especially South Africa’s derby matches.

This is a significant difference between the old world of Newlands and the new order at the DHL Stadium in 2026.

Newlands delivered its biggest crowds in traditional rugby windows, and the Stormers of the past five years have had to do it in peak holiday summer seasons, which shows the enormous shift in audience behaviour.

The people of Cape Town care about the Stormers and the Stormers care about the people of Cape Town.

No other team in South Africa and no team in the URC, the Irish giants of Leinster and Munster included, can claim such consistently high stadium numbers over such a lengthy period of time.

And only Leinster, in the brief history of the URC as a league, have earned more points from wins, draws and losing bonus points than the Stormers.

Cape Town is also a banker whenever the Springboks play, be it at Newlands, pre-2019 or in the three Tests played, in front of crowds, in the past four years.

Bulls Finish. Stormers Create. Glasgow Lead

Bulls finish, Stormers create, and Glasgow lead the URC through balance and consistency.

The Bulls know the way to the try line, the Stormers know how to get close to the try line and Glasgow’s Warriors are the most complete and balanced team in the 2025/26 URC team stats.

URC Team Stats: Bulls, Stormers, Lions and Sharks Compared

The Warriors are the league leaders after 13 rounds, with 10 wins from 13 and a total of 50 points. The Stormers are second with 10 wins and 46 points, while the Bulls, despite scoring the most tries this season, are eighth with seven wins and 34 points.

The URC official Team Stats emphasise the potency of Franco Smith’s Warriors, who have also shown quality in squad depth to produce winning results in matches when stripped of their Six Nations internationals.

Smith, the former Springboks utility back and Cheetahs and Italian coach, has been a revelation at Glasgow. He, in partnership with South African-born winger and club captain Kyle Steyn, have been at the forefront of Glasgow’s growth into one of the best teams in Europe.

Glasgow, in the 2023/24 season, beat the Bulls at Loftus in Pretoria to win the third edition of the URC.

This season’s league showcases the Bulls try-scoring ability, exposes their charitable early season defensive form, and illustrates just how dominant the Stormers are in getting close to the opposition try line, but equally how impotent they are in converting those opportunities once in the 22 metres attack red zone.

The Stormers have had no issue in applying pressure, given they are second for entries into the opposition 22 (150), but it is their failure to convert this earned advantage into tries.

The Lions have gone big on volume and the Sharks, the lowest of the South Africa teams with an 11th place league ranking, are chasing consistency and a winning habit since JP Pietersen replaced John Plumtree as the Sharks coach.

The Glasgow Warriors lead the table and the key performance metrics, combining territory, possession and execution better than any side in the competition.

The Bulls know how to cross the try line, the Stormers are battling to find their way to the try line and the Warriors have married pressure and points scored to top the league.

Keo’s 10 Takeaways

  1. The Bulls are the best finishers in the URC – first for tries scored (54).

  2. The Bulls’ attack is built on momentum – second for metres gained (5611).

  3. The Stormers are excellent at creating try-scoring pressure points – second for 22 entries (150).

  4. The Stormers don’t always convert that pressure into points.

  5. The Lions are the competition’s top scorers, with some big scores at home  – first for total points (379).

  6. The Lions’ game is built on tempo and attacking volume, Ellis Park’s fast pace surface, attitude & altitude.

  7. The Sharks are outside the top tier across the key metrics, which is a reinforcement of their awful start to the season.

  8. No South African team dominates the defensive categories because their attack has been stronger and they have won more than they have lost.

  9. Glasgow lead the competition for metres gained (5873) and overall control metrics.

  10. Glasgow and the Stormers are strong in very different areas, for example the Stormers kick volume and effectiveness compared to Glasgow’s. Equally Glasgow’s ball in hand game, but the reality is that both have 10 wins from 13 and the points differential is less three points on average a game.

Magical Mapimpi is the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero

Makazole Mapimpi needed a magical moment to beat Nizaam Carr’s outrageous kick assist for the Bulls in Round 13 of the URC to be named the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week.

Makazole Mapimpi Magic

Mapimpi, the Sharks winger, celebrated his 100th match in style, although it took him 78 minutes to produce the most sensational individual two minutes, with his reward being two tries of varying degrees of brilliance.

Mapimpi, the first Springbok to score a try in a World Cup final, bagged a double in the final stages of the Sharks 45-0 thumping of Ireland’s Munster.

The win was the Sharks’ third in their last four URC matches. The Sharks play Cardiff in Durban on Friday evening in Round 14.

On the Keo & Zels Rugby Show, Zels and I discussed the nominations and why Mapimpi got our nod.

ZELS:
That Stormers scrum absolutely obliterated the Dragons tight five, and Evan Roos was on hand to pick up and dive over. Sensational try. That’s a proper team try for me, with everyone involved. That’s the hybrid element, right? Power, but skill within it.

KEO:
You talk about hybrid. It is more like one tool doing many things. That Stormers pack did everything. From loosehead to tighthead, hooker, both locks, six, seven, eight. This was the full unit.

Then you look at the Bulls.

Nizaam Carr, Bishops old boy and former Stormers, has been outstanding. That kick-assist was sensational. That’s a footballer’s touch. Like a corner kick dropping onto the head of a striker. Perfect weight, perfect execution. Five points.

ZELS:
So you’re going with Carr?

KEO:
I was because I did not think anything or anyone would match it over the weekend because it takes something special to beat that for the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week.

And then, Sharks v Munster, 79 minutes played and enter Makazole Mapimpi.

He scores a try and everyone celebrates, “finally got one.” But look deeper. He didn’t see much ball. Worked relentlessly. It’s his 100th. He’s 35, looks 19. The physique, the engine…

He leaps high from he kick-off, takes it clean, lands, beats two, goes again; inside, outside and then those final five metres. Munster’s 10 comes across, makes the tackle attempt… Mapimpi finishes.

That’s the moment. That’s the one.

And the irony? He’s wearing 11. Andre Esterhuizen – the STECO ambassador – is at 12. And Mike Sharman from Retroviral, who work with STECO Ryobi, they’ve told Mapimpi’s story it’s on YouTube.

Go watch it.

Then I get a message from Richard Stevens, Marketing Head, Stevens & Co, saying how fitting it is: 11 and 12, powered by them STECO/RYOBI doing the business for the Sharks … and Mapimpi delivers that.

Richard, there should be something in the post for Mapimpi, via courier.

ZELS:
I agree. Something powerful to keep powering him.

Sacha’s stats statement slays Dragons

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu 2 22 March 2026 Ashley Vlotman Gallo Images

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu slayed the Dragons in Cape Town and his match statistics emphasised his influence in the Stormers bonus-point win against Newport’s Dragons.

Stormers v Dragons – United Rugby Championship

The Stormers 29-21 win was their 10th in 13 league starts and ensured they finished Round 13 in second place, four points off league leaders Glasgow, whom they play in Cape Town in April.

Stormers No 10 Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored the match’s opening two tries, which he converted for 14 points, but as memorable were a try-saving tackle late in the first half and second half defensive moment of mastery to deny the Dragons a further try. His points totalled 19, with three conversions and a penalty added to his two five-pointers, but the 14 points he saved, tells the story of his significance against the Dragons.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu made 13 kicks and 13 passes, claimed a line out win statistically from a quick throw and won a ruck turnover, one of just four for the Stormers in 80 minutes. He made seven tackles to complete a busy and big defensive afternoon.

On attack, he made the most metres in the match, with 78, beat three defenders, which was the second most of the match, carried the ball nine times and his three line breaks were the most in the match.

His 19 points took his league season tally to 81 points in his eighth match of the league. His URC career total is 17 tries, four drop goals, 30 penalties and 47 conversions, for 281 points. He has started 27 of 44 URC matches.

He has played four Investec Champions Cup matches and his overall Stormers record is 31 starts in 48 matches for 308 points, with 17 tries, four drop goals, 33 penalties and 56 conversions. He is 24 years-old.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu was named the 2024/25 South African Vodacom United Rugby Championship Player of the Year beating off Bulls prop Wilco Louw and Bulls loose-forward Cameron Hanekom for the prize.

The counter to those match-winning statistical returns against the Dragons, was a speculator pass to Damian Willemse that was not a good option and twice missing penalty kicks to touch. His four from six off the kicking tee has matched his league accuracy this season, which is 10 percent down on his 75 percent-plus career average as a goal kicker.

Stormers No 8 Evan Roos also enjoy a busy afternoon. He scored a try to take his league season tally to seven, but it was the balance in his attack and defence that was most telling. Roos carried 14 times, the most in the match, and made 11 tackles, which was the most from a Stormers player.

Makazole Mapimpi & Morne van den Berg celebrated their 100th matches for the Sharks and Lions in style and triumphant. It made for a Super Saturday of United Rugby Championship action for Saffas.

Magnificent Mapimpi

Mapimpi, in his 100th match, scored two tries in the final two minutes of the 45-0 hammering of Munster in Durban.

The 35 year-old showed the pace of a teenager sprint sensation when outstripping the Munster chasers for his first try, scored in the 78th minute.

Then, remarkably, he lept into the Durban skies from the final restart of the match, landed open two feet, beat two defenders with a step, took off down the touchline, swerved inside, beat a defender, then outside and put on the afterburners to race the remaining 40 metres and finish a 70 metre solo-try with two Munster defenders on his back.

This was from a 35 year old in his 100th match. It was straight from a movie.

Earlier, Van den Berg, so good this season for the Lions, controlled the match in the No 9 jersey as the Lions, SA Shield winners, crushed Edinburgh 54-17. The Lions led 35-0 at halftime and scored eight tries to three.

Van den Berg scored a try to take his career tally for the Lions to 20.

The Lions scored eight tries to three, the Sharks six tries to nil and the Bulls, on Friday night, scored seven tries to one, to take the South African try-tally to 21-4 with the Stormers v Dragons on Sunday afternoon in Cape Town sure to add to the 21 tries.

For context, the travelling sides were without incumbent Six Nations regulars, which highlighted the depth issues when Test players are not available.

Still, it was statements made by the South African teams with five rounds of the league to play.

The Stormers, Lions and Bulls, are well positioned to make the play-offs and the Stormers are chasing a top two, with the other two hunting a top four.

The Sharks remain 11th in the URC but they are now three wins from their last four league matches, having won just two from their first nine matches.

Bulls No 9 Embrose Papier responded to his omission from the Springboks alignment camp in the best possible way, with another Player of the Match performance in the URC.

Papier was proper in the Bulls 40-7 win against Cardiff in the URC at Loftus, Pretoria, having been a late withdrawal a week ago against the Stormers a week ago.

The Bulls lost to the Stormers and Papier’s absence was obvious.

Against Cardiff he was at the heart of everything good about the Bulls attack, was individually decisive and composed, produced consistency in his kicking game management, electric pace for his try and was always a threat on the break, especially close to the fringes of the ruck.

Rassie Erasmus picked Papier for the Springboks in 2018, but it has been seven long years in-between drinks for the Bulls No 9.

In this time Erasmus, coach in 2018, Jacques Nienaber, coached between 2020 and 2023 and Erasmus, back as head coach from 2024, have relied on Faf de Klerk, Herschel Jantjies and Cobus Reinach to win the 2019 RWC and on De Klerk, Reinach, Grant Williams and Jaden Hendrikse to win the 2023 RWC.

Nienaber and Erasmus (National Director of Rugby) picked all four No 9s in the match 23 that beat Romania 76-0 at the World Cup. Reinach started at No 9, Williams started on the right wing and Hendrikse was the reserve No 9 and De Klerk the reserve No 10 and goalkicker.

In the 2024 and 2025 Test seasons, Lions No 9 Morné van den Berg played Test rugby and in Erasmus’s first Springboks alignment camp for 2025, earlier in March, SA under 20 World Championship winner Haashim Pead was included in a group of No 9s, while De Klerk and Jantjies were among the overseas-based players selected for a virtual alignment camp.

De Klerk, who spent a lengthy time on the sidelines because of injury, found form in scoring three tries for the Yokohama Canon Eagles’ 38-29 win against Dave Rennie’s Japanese League 1 log-leading Kobelco Kobe Steelers. He was named Player of the Match.

Jantjies has started nine of 15 matches for French Top 14 club Bayonne.

De Klerk has signed to return to South Africa and play for the Cheetahs after five seasons in Japan. Before Japan he played for Sale Sharks in Manchester, England, having made his Test debut when playing for the Johannesburg-based Lions.

In 2018 the then Bulls No 9 Ivan van Zyl and Lions No 9 Ross Cronje were also selected for the Boks.

Papier, a Bulls Centurion, has started 10 of 14 matches for the club this season, 11 in the United Rugby Championship and three in the Investec Champions Cup, and has scored six tries.

Papier made his Test debut in 2018. He has not played for the Boks again since 2018.

He is still just 28 years-old

SH Rugby Blog, back in 2018, asked if Papier was not trusted by Erasmus, given the minimal game time.

List of games in which Papier was in the Match Day 23, and his minutes played

Date Opponent Detail
June 2, 2018 Wales 4 minutes at wing, Washington DC (Springbok debut)
June 2018 England Not in matchday 23 for first two Tests
June 23, 2018 England 5 minutes at scrumhalf, Cape Town (3rd Test)
August 18, 2018 Argentina 7 minutes at wing, Durban
August 25, 2018 Argentina Unused substitute, Mendoza
September 8, 2018 Australia Unused substitute, Brisbane
September 15, 2018 New Zealand Replaced in matchday 23 by Ross Cronjé (unused), Wellington
September 29, 2018 Australia Unused substitute, Port Elizabeth
October 6, 2018 New Zealand 7 minutes at scrumhalf, Pretoria
November 3, 2018 England 6 minutes at scrumhalf, London
November 2018 France Not in matchday 23

Papier, on the 17th November, 2018, finally got to start against Scotland at Murrayfield and played for 78 minutes. The Boks won 26-20, with Handre Pollard scoring 18 points and Elton Jantjies kicking a late penalty to secure the win. Of the Boks match 23 of that day, 19 went onto win the World Cup, left winger Aphiwe Dyantyi was banned for testing positive, right winger Sbu Nkosi lost form and his appetite for rugby, beset by off-field disciplinary issues, Van Zyl found a future at Saracens in the English Premiership and Papier was sent back to the Bulls.

South Africa: Willie le Roux, Sbu Nkosi, Jesse Kriel, Damian de Allende, Aphiwe Dyantyi, Handre Pollard, Embrose Papier; Steven Kitshoff, Malcolm Marx, Frans Malherbe, RG Snyman, Franco Mostert, Siya Kolisi (captain), Pieter-Steph du Toit, Duane Vermeulen.

Replacements: Bongi Mbonambi (for Marx, 66), Thomas du Toit (for Kitshoff, 58), Vincent Koch (for Malherbe, 58), Lood de Jager (for Snyman, 60), Francois Louw (for Kolisi, 66), Ivan van Zyl (for Papier, 78), Elton Jantjies (for De Allende, 56), Cheslin Kolbe (for Nkosi, 64).

Bielle-Biarrey owns the Six Nations stats sheet

In the 2026 Six Nations, France winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey owned the stats charts. Nine tries, four assists and a presence across ten statistical categories tell the real story of France’s title.

The Six Nations 2026 stats sheet was owned by France’s magnificent left winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey, with teammate Thomas Ramos the best of the many support acts within the squad that won the Six Nations title.

Ramos, without comparison off the kicking tee, kicked a penalty after the final buzzer, to beat England 48-46 in Paris, and ensure France were not denied a second successive Six Nations title.

The win was France’s 10th European title (Five Nations/Six Nations) in the last 30 years.

*Grand Slam indicates an unbeaten tournament.

Six Nations 2026 stats

Bielle-Biarrey’s nine tournament tries in 2026 is a record, and he is the first player to score in every match in two successive Six Nations campaigns. He has 18 Six Nations tries in 14 matches, with retired Ireland centre Brian O’Driscoll’s Six Nations record of 26 tries having come in 65 matches.

His strike rate is unmatched at Test level, with 29 tries from 27 Test matches.

Bielle-Biarrey, supreme as a try-scoring finisher, was everywhere the game lived.

Top of the try charts. Among the leaders for metres made. Present in try assists. Leading initial breaks. High in metres per carry. Involved in attacking catch success. Even appearing in the kicking metrics.

Bielle-Biarrey, who played every minute of the Six Nations, featured in 10 categories.

His back three teammate Ramos was as good, in a different way. Ramos featured in eight categories: Carries, metres, offloads, assists and, crucially, points. Ramos missed just four kicks at posts in 32, for an 88% return. He was also the tournament’s leading points scorer and one of the busiest players on attack.

France No 10 Matthieu Jalibert, who played four of the five matches, was top of the offloads, try assist and in the top bracket for defenders beaten. Add in his kicking influence, in tandem with captain and scrum half Antoine Dupont, and Jalibert is prominent in seven categories.

If France owned the attacking narrative, Ireland’s No 12 Stuart McCloskey owned the gainline. Seven categories tell the story: carries, offloads, assists, defenders beaten, dominant contact, post-contact metres and turnovers. There was no cleaner or more complete midfield presence in the tournament. Every carry broke the initial wall and every collision advanced Ireland’s attack.

The little generals in Dupont and Wales’s Tomos Williams don’t dominate tries, but they dominate territory. Kicks in play, kick metres, box kicks, retained kicks meant both No 9s are leading contributors in six categories.

Italy’s mighty midfielder Tommaso Menoncello  has a presence in six categories: Metres made. Defenders beaten. Initial breaks. Turnovers, Jakkals and Metres per carry. He was as consistent in his defence and attack and his Six Nations will be remembered for the try and try assist in Italy’s historic first win against England in Rome in Round 4.

England’s Ben Earl is the forward outlier. Leading carries. Leading post-contact metres. Dominant in contact. A four-category presence in a game that increasingly separates roles. He is the closest England has to a proper hybrid international player. Earl, best at No 8, can also play in the midfield.

Scotland’s versatile winger and Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn. The South African born former Stellenbosch University and Griquas star was a standout in defenders beaten, top tier in metres made and elite in metres per carry. Steyn enjoyed his most influential tournament, and was strong in Scotland’s wins against England and France at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

SA Schools Rugby: The Springbok Factory

South African schools rugby is the foundation of the Springboks, with historic derbies like Paarl Boys High vs Paarl Gimnasium showcasing the intensity, tradition and talent pipeline that defines the game.

SA Schools rugby derby between Paarl Boys High and Paarl Gimnasium showcasing South Africa’s top schoolboy rugby rivalry

The road to 100 Springbok Test caps does not start with a professional contract. It starts at SA Schools Rugby and South Africa is blessed to have among the most powerful rugby-centric schooling institutions. The result is nine Test Centurions and four RWC titles and two third place finishes in eight tournaments since the Springboks won the 1995 World Cup on their first attempt.

SA Schools Rugby

South African rugby starts on school fields in Paarl, Newlands, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, where reputations are made long before players earn contracts, caps or salaries.

This is where the edge is built, with rivalries more than 100 years old. This is where the journey of the greatest Springboks began and it is the playground of future Springboks and South Africa’s professional rugby elite.

The scale of the system is unmatched globally: structured leagues, nationally broadcast derbies, Easter festivals that act as early-season measuring sticks, and the annual Coca-Cola Craven Week, which remains the definitive pathway into SA Schools selection.

The Premier Schools: The heavyweights of South African rugby.

There is no officially sanctioned national ranking body in South African schools rugby. However, multiple independent platforms compile results-based rankings using fixtures, strength of schedule and head-to-head outcomes.

The most widely referenced is NextGenXV, whose final 2025 rankings are also incorporated into broader consensus rankings by platforms such as SchoolboyRugby (which combines data from NextGenXV, SA School Sports and Rugby365).

The Western Cape dominates the depth conversation. Free State has Grey College and the Eastern Cape has heritage. Gauteng and KZN bring muscle, but no province matches the Western Cape for weekly jeopardy and top-20 spread.

Western Province: The Deepest Schools League in the Country

South African schools rugby’s heart beats the loudest in the Western Cape.

On a single WP Schools Day card in 2026, you get: Paarl Boys, Paarl Gim, Paul Roos, SACS, Bishops, Rondebosch, Wynberg, Boland Landbou, Durbanville and Stellenberg.

In the 2025 Top 20 rankings, the Western Cape placed eight schools in the top tier, including Paarl Boys, Paarl Gim, Oakdale, Paul Roos, Rondebosch and Wynberg.

No province produces pressure like this and no province produces Springboks like this. It is borne out by how Western Province dominated the annual Coca Cola Craven Week.

FNB Classic Clashes & King Price Derby Series

South African schoolboy rugby attracts some of the biggest sponsors, with FNB having the longest association with Schools Rugby. The additional exposure, through SuperSport’s live coverage of Schools 1st XV matches has added to the value of commercial alignment with Schools rugby.

The SuperSport Schools app has exceeded one million downloads.

The FNB Classic Clashes, launched in the early 2000s, grew from 10 fixtures to more than 50 nationwide, becoming a cornerstone of school rugby broadcasting on SuperSport Schools.

Today, the King Price Derby Series carries that torch, packaging the biggest rivalries into a national viewing product built on history, tribalism and crowd energy.

This is where schoolboy rugby becomes appointment viewing.

From bolter to banished: Augustus defines Bok 2026 omissions

Published

on

By

Juarno Augustus Ulster URC

The Springboks 2026 alignment camp is, by definition, Rassie Erasmus naming his best 70 players. That is the starting point for any analysis, and it is why the omission of Juarno Augustus is the story.

Springboks 2026 alignment camp

A year ago ‘Trokkie’ Augustus was the bolter.

He forced his way into the 2025 alignment camp on the back of consistent performances in Europe, carrying with authority and playing with the kind of physical edge that traditionally translates to Springbok rugby. His inclusion suggested momentum and acknowledgement from Erasmus that the player, formerly of the Stormers, had moved from the periphery into genuine national contention.

Augustus made the on-field statement playing for Northampton Saints, but never made it to the Springboks camp because he had not passed a transfer medical to Ulster at the time.

Post this injury-enforced failed medical, Augustus moved to Ulster and has been a strong influence when fit. He had been on the sidelines in early 2026 but showed no rust in dominating the collisions as Ulster beat Edinburgh in the United Rugby Championship last weekend.

Augustus, in the 2025/26 season, has started seven of nine matches for Ulster, with an average playing time of 54 minutes. He has played seven URC matches and two EPCR Challenge Cup matches.

In 2024/25, he started 15 of Northampton’s 19 matches, averaged 56 minutes a game, went past 1000 on-field minutes and was a star performer as the Saints marched toward the Investec Champions Cup final. Augustus missed the losing final against Bordeaux because of injury, but was fabulous in the semi-final win against Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Less than a year ago, Augustus, a former Junior Springboks Player of the Year, was a headline for all the right reasons. This week, his omission is the headline, given just a few days ago he was named Player of the Match 

It does not seem like a minor selection call from Erasmus.

In a system where the alignment camp reflects the coach’s thinking and pretty much his strongest available player pool, absence is definitive. Augustus has not been managed out. On the surface he has been left out, and the distinction matters. It tells you that, right now, he is not viewed as one of the leading options at No 8 or within the broader loose forward mix.

And that is where the context becomes important.

The Springboks are not short on depth in the back row. Established internationals remain in the system, while younger players have been backed through consistent exposure and selection. The competition among No 8 options is intense and Erasmus never selects on sentiment or for the sake of a good news story.

What is perplexing is what has changed regarding Augustus because his on-field performances remain as imposing as they did a year ago.

Erasmus has omitted players from alignment camps previously and picked them to play Test rugby that season.

The exclusion, this week when Erasmus named a virtual alignment camp group of overseas-based South African players eligible for the Boks, does not mean the door is locked, but it certainly doesn’t promise an easy way back in when the reality is that Erasmus has invited 70 players to his two respective camps, 49 for the early March camp in Cape Town, and a further 21 for the virtual camp.

Six players drop out of the Springboks 2026 alignment camp from 2025, but it is the absence of Augustus that defines the shift – from bolter to outside the Bok top 70.

United Rugby Championship: South Africa’s rugby powerhouse

South Africa has redefined the United Rugby Championship since 2021, turning a northern league into a cross-continental powerhouse driven by Stormers flair, Bulls consistency and relentless Springbok influence.

United Rugby Championship

The United Rugby Championship was never meant to belong to South Africa, but in many respects it now does.

The United Rugby Championship shifted rugby’s power

South Africa has redefined the United Rugby Championship since 2021, turning a northern league into a cross-continental powerhouse driven by Stormers flair, Bulls consistency and relentless Springbok influence. From four finals in four seasons to hosting the first three deciders, the United Rugby Championship South Africa story is one of immediate impact, growing dominance and a competition that now runs through Cape Town and Pretoria as much as Dublin.

It is an evolution of the Pro 12, which was a northern hemisphere competition, built on Celtic identity, Irish excellence, Welsh tradition, Italian innovation and Scottish swagger. It had history, rivalry and relevance but it did not have the the presence of South Africa, the breeding ground of World Cup winning Springboks.

When South Africa arrived in the newly formed 16-team United Rugby Championship, it reshaped the league.

Four seasons into the URC era a South African franchise has featured in every single final. The country hosted the first three deciders. Two of those finals were in Cape Town and one was in Pretoria.

From Celtic comfort to cross-continental combat

The league started life in 2001 as the Celtic League,  a tight, regional competition. Then came evolution: Italy joined and it became the PRO12 and then the PRO14, with the South Africa’s Cheetahs and Kings more of an exercise in flirtation than finality.

The reset came in 2021, with the league played behind mostly with Covid restrictions.

The South African quartet, plus their Pro 14 predecessors the Cheetahs and Kings, had played in Super Rugby since 1996, and while South Africa’s decision to go north was deemed controversial by some, most in South Africa acknowledged the value of playing in the northern hemisphere.

What was once a northern league is now rugby’s most compelling cross-continental competition.

Different climates.
Different tempos.
Different rugby identities.

South Africa’s imprint: Immediate, Physical, Decisive

South Africa didn’t need time to adjust, as borne out by the first four finals.

  • 2022 Final (Cape Town): Stormers

  • 2023 Final (Cape Town): Munster beat Stormers

  • 2024 Final (Pretoria): Glasgow beat Bulls

  • 2025 Final (Dublin): Leinster beat Bulls

The 2007 Rugby World Cup-winning Springboks coach Jake White guided the Bulls to three finals in four years and the Stormers, under John Dobson, own South Africa’s most significant chapter, winning the inaugural URC season in beating the Bulls 18-13.

Dobson’s Stormers: The blueprint of URC success

Dobson’s Stormers play with instinct, speed and counter-attack but beneath it sits structure and belief. Western Province school rugby pipelines feeding a professional system that trusts its talent.

At home, at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town, they are difficult to beat.

And in doing so, they’ve defined what URC rugby can look like when South African skill meets South African confidence.

The Bulls: Power, altitude and unfinished business

If the Stormers are all about expression, then the Bulls are about power and pressure.

Loftus Versfeld, in Pretoria, remains one of the toughest assignments in club rugby, with the altitude and the attitude of the hosts often a tonic for opposition scoreboard strain.

The Bulls have been relentless contenders:

White did a fine job in getting them to three finals, but former Springboks lock Johan Ackermann has been tasked in the 2025/26 season in turning silver into gold.

Leinster, Munster and the Irish machine

The Irish provinces still set the standard system excellence. Leinster, in particular, operate like a production line of Test players, and their 2025 demolition of the Bulls in Dublin was clinical, ruthless and expected.

Munster remain knockout specialists, with their 2023 win against the Stormers in the final in Cape Town the stuff of folklore. Munster won their final four league matches to make the play-offs and travelled – and won – for the quarter-final, semi-final and final.

Glasgow’s Loftus miracle

Glasgow’s 2023/24 title win at Loftus made a statement that a good enough team can win a final anywhere and can overcome travel, fatigue, altitude and the odds of the bookies to triumph.

Glasgow’s title win proved the league is wider than the South Africa and Ireland power axis.

The URC has never been predictable, especially finals.

The rivalries that matter

This competition is built on collisions not just of teams, but identities.

  • Stormers vs Bulls – South Africa’s defining franchise rivalry

  • Leinster vs Munster – tradition, edge, history

  • Irish vs South African franchises – control vs chaos, system vs instinct

  • Glasgow v Edinburgh – a national trial
  • Benetton v Zebre – a national trial
  • Cardiff v every Welsh club – culturally so much bigger than a rugby match

South Africans have fallen in love with the URC because there are more wins than defeats, it fits their style of play, the times zones work, there is European relevance and the league is a proving ground for Springboks and for Springboks selection.

  • South African teams have featured in 100% of URC finals

  • The Bulls have played 75% of those finals

  • The Stormers have a title and multiple finals appearances

  • South African franchises win around 60% of matches since entry

  • Home venues like DHL Stadium and Loftus rank among the toughest in the league

What comes next? SA dominance or European resistance?

The next chapter of the URC will be defined by one question: Can Europe’s club, across the league, have enough title contenders to stop the South African surge to turning final appearances into consistent gold medals.

Ireland’s Leinster will always be there, Munster will always threaten and Scotland’s Glasgow have shown what’s possible. All three have won the title.

But South Africa has scale that is overwhelming when assessing their potential as the league grows because the country’s rugby players have an identity built on winning, as borne out by four Rugby World Cup golds and two bronze medals in eight tournaments.

The Final Word

The URC didn’t save South African rugby, as much as South Africa elevated the URC.

The South African four-club participation has brought intensity, edge and consequence to every fixture.

And it made the competition matter beyond its traditional borders.

Four finals in four years is a show of the country’s rugby strength as much as it is an impressive statistic.

Stormers make it 10 wins from 12 vs Bulls in URC derby

The Stormers 32-19 win against the Bulls at Loftus on Saturday, 14 March extended their remarkable United Rugby Championship derby record to 10 wins from 12 matches. It was also their fourth win in five URC visits to Pretoria since the competition started in 2021.

Stormers and Springboks utility back Damian Willemse was Saturday’s official Player of the Match. The Paul Roos Gimnasium product is a fan favourite and an exceptional rugby player. He is the youngest double winner in the history of Rugby World Cup, having been just 25 when he won his second successive Rugby World Cup gold medal.

Willemse, on Saturday afternoon, scored a try and created the Stormers fourth try with a 50 metre kick through. Among his stats were seven tackles and seven carries, but those are tangibles. What isn’t is his off-the-ball work, his on-field presence and what he offers as a support and guide to flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mnogomezulu.

Willemse, just 27 years-old, has played in excess of 8000 minutes of rugby since making his debut for the Stormers in Super Rugby in 2016. He was 18 years-old. He is a Stormers centurion and has gone past 50 Tests for the Springboks.
