Iconic O’Connell speaks on Rassie’s Springboks
When the iconic and inspirational Munster, Ireland and British & Irish Lions lock forward and captain Paul O’Connell speaks rugby, you listen.
Well, O’Connell, captain of the Lions in South Africa in 2009, has detailed just what he thinks of the Springboks and of Warren Gatland’s approach. He also admits he was surprised by a Lions squad, he labelled ‘strange’.
O’Connell believes Gatland will use the Welsh strategic approach of 2018 and 2019 to try and beat the world champion Springboks.
O’Connell no doubt expected more Irish players in the squad but he acknowledged this was a squad of players chosen more to combat the Springboks style of play than necessarily reward a particular strength of the Lions.
‘Rassie has a formula that he sticks to – it generally revolves territory and not so much possession. The less possession he has, the better for him.
‘Lineout, maul, scrum – he wants fewer rucks than the opposition, he wants to make more tackles than the opposition. He wants a really long kicking game, I don’t think he’s going to move away from that, particularly when you look at the success they had in the World Cup.
‘[Gatland] is trying to pick a team to prepare for that, and they nearly got all of those things right when Wales played them in the World Cup semi-final. I think the only one they might have lost is that Rassie is big into turnovers conceded, I think Wales might have lost that one,’ O’Connell told Wednesday Night Rugby. ‘
‘It is about trying to play his own game but trying to stop what South Africa are doing as well. It’s going to be tricky.
‘One of the things that you look at when you look at the squad is that there are a few strange selections.’
O’Connell is a big fan of Erasmus and has always been complimentary of the work Erasmus did to rebuild Munster in his 18 month stint as Director of Rugby and coach of Munster.
He has a healthy respect for Erasmus, the Springboks and for touring South Africa, and he cautioned against the dangers (for the Lions) of a third of the squad not being involved in matches in the final three weeks.
It is a real danger, he said.
‘It is going to be a very tough tour, the way they are going to be in a bit of quarantine and not really outside the hotel. I only noticed a few days ago that there are no midweek games in the last four weeks of the tour.
‘So there are going to be a lot of players that might be playing a game on July 14th and the last game is on August 7th. They might not be involved again. That is a tough station.
‘As happy as some of the tours that I’ve been on have been, some guys haven’t coped well with not being picked. And the guys that are going are the ones that are used to being picked their whole lives, they are used to being first-choice.’
O’Connell added that these players were familiar with always making the team and that was going to make the last few weeks particularly tough.

Bulls v Stormers is South African rugby’s biggest derby
The Bulls v Stormers is South African rugby’s biggest derby. The clash is north v south and historically it has never gotten bigger in any South African domestic or international provincial or club competition, as will be the case in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship match at Loftus, Pretoria.
The most recent match-up played out in front of 52 000 fans at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium and the Stormers needed a 78th minute try to win the URC league fixture 13-8.

Bulls v Stormers: The Complete Record of South Africa’s North–South Rugby Rivalry
Few rivalries in world rugby stretch across three centuries of competition and identity.
The battle between the Bulls and Stormers is the modern face of a rivalry that began long before professionalism when Northern Transvaal and Western Province first met in 1891.
From Currie Cup wars at Newlands and Loftus Versfeld to modern URC derby clashes, the North–South rivalry remains one of the defining fixtures in South African rugby.
Today the Stormers brand represents Western Province professionally, while the Bulls remain the professional flagship of the old Northern Transvaal union.
This is the complete statistical breakdown of Bulls v Stormers and the historic Western Province rivalry that created it.
Bulls v Stormers Head-to-Head Record
The Stormers and Bulls first met in Super Rugby in 1998, marking the professional chapter of the rivalry.
Bulls vs Stormers Record (1998–2025)
| Matches | Bulls Wins | Stormers Wins | Draws |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 27 | 17 | 0 |
The Bulls dominated much of the early professional era, particularly during the Heyneke Meyer and Frans Ludeke years, when Pretoria became the powerhouse of Super Rugby.
The Stormers have been more competitive in the URC era, winning seven successive matches with John Dobson as coach.
Bulls v Western Province: The Rivalry Before Professional Rugby
Before the creation of the Stormers franchise, the rivalry existed as Western Province v Northern Transvaal in the Currie Cup.
These matches built the mythology of North vs South rugby.

What It Means To Be A Franchise Centurion
Reaching 100 appearances for a South African franchise is a rare milestone.
Several factors limit player totals:
-
Springbok duty removes players for long periods
-
Overseas contracts reduce long-term continuity
-
Squad rotation in Super Rugby and the URC
This makes the Stormers and Bulls centurions clubs among the most exclusive groups in South African professional rugby.
The Rivalry Enters a New Era
With Stormers now replacing Western Province in the Currie Cup from 2026, the professional identity of the rivalry is clearer than ever.
What began as Western Province v Northern Transvaal has evolved into the modern Bulls v Stormers derby but the essence remains unchanged.
Cape Town versus Pretoria.
Newlands tradition versus Loftus power is now Cape Town buzz at the youthful DHL Stadium versus the endearing beauty of the old lady Loftus.
North versus South.
And in South African rugby, no internal showdown carries the same history or significance as Bulls v Stormers.

LATEST NEWS ON RUGBY’S GREATEST RIVALRY
This is the one.
It is rugby’s most loaded rivalry, the one with the deepest history, the greatest tension, and the strongest claim to excellence. Between them, South Africa and New Zealand have set the standard for what Test rugby should look like: hard, clever, physical, unrelenting. They don’t just play for points. They play for hierarchy.
As of the end of the 2025 Rugby Championship meetings, the teams had met 110 times in Test rugby. The All Blacks lead the all-time series with 63 wins, the Springboks have 43, and there have been 4 draws.
That number matters, but it only tells part of the story.
Every era has had its own version of South Africa versus New Zealand. The early tours gave it its edge, but the apartheid years also gave it political charge. Professionalism gave it speed and scale, and the rivalry, in the Rassie Erasmus era, is at its most intense.
ALL BLACKS COACH DAVE RENNIE IS A RED FLAG FOR RASSIE’S BOKS
What is the Springboks vs All Blacks record?
The raw record is straightforward enough.
The Springboks and All Blacks have played 110 Tests. New Zealand have won 63, South Africa 43, with 4 draws. That makes New Zealand the only major nation with a positive all-time record against South Africa, which is why every Springbok win over the All Blacks carries outsized value.
The recent trend, however, tells a sharper story.
South Africa beat New Zealand twice in 2024 31-27 at Ellis Park and 18-12 in Cape Town to reclaim the Freedom Cup. In 2025, the All Blacks won 24-17 at Eden Park, but the Springboks answered a week later with a seismic 43-10 win in Wellington, a result SA Rugby described as the biggest defeat ever inflicted on the All Blacks.
So while New Zealand still lead the century-long rivalry overall, the modern contest is tighter, nastier and far less predictable than the old numbers suggest.
The biggest Springbok win over the All Blacks
South Africa’s biggest win, 35-7 at Twickenham a month before the 2023 World Cup, was the Boks benchmark 100-plus years in the making, but within two years that record was broken.
The new high-water mark came in Wellington on 13 September 2025, when the Springboks demolished the All Blacks 43-10. SA Rugby explicitly called it the All Blacks’ biggest defeat ever, and noted that it surpassed the 35-7 margin from London in 2023.
That matters historically and psychologically.
South Africa have always believed they can beat New Zealand. But there is a difference between belief and force. The 43-10 result was force. It was a reminder that when the Springboks got their collision game, bench impact and tactical pressure exactly right, they could break even the All Blacks in New Zealand.
The biggest All Blacks win over the Springboks
New Zealand’s biggest win in the rivalry remains the brutal 57-0 victory in 2017, still South Africa’s heaviest defeat in Test history. SA Rugby itself referred to it in retrospect as a record defeat by New Zealand.
That result remains one of the rivalry’s most important reference points because it sits at the opposite end of the emotional scale from the Springboks’ recent resurgence. It was humiliation then. The modern Bok revival has been built, in part, on making sure that kind of capitulation never happens again.
Why this is rugby’s greatest rivalry
The phrase is not marketing fluff.
South Africa and New Zealand have been the sport’s two most imposing rugby nations across generations. They have the tradition, the depth, the public pressure, the tactical intelligence and the expectation. More than that, each has usually been measured most accurately by how it performs against the other.
SA Rugby itself now brands the fixture as Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, and the 2026 tour has been designed around that idea, with four Tests scheduled between the Springboks and All Blacks, including a Test in Baltimore, USA. That commercial packaging works because it is built on a truth rugby people already understand: no fixture carries more historical weight.
There are bigger sporting events globally, but in rugby, nothing feels more final than Springboks versus All Blacks.
The latest chapter in the rivalry
The latest sequence of matches has added another layer to the story.
In 2024, South Africa beat New Zealand twice in one Rugby Championship campaign, first at Ellis Park and then in Cape Town. The second win secured the Freedom Cup and kept the Springboks unbeaten in that championship stretch.
In 2025, the All Blacks protected Eden Park with a 24-17 win in Auckland, before South Africa hit back with the 43-10statement in Wellington. The official Springbok record published before the Auckland match was 108 played, 42 won, 62 lost, 4 drawn; after Auckland it became 109 played, 42 won, 63 lost, 4 drawn; and after Wellington the all-time tally moved to 110 played, 43 won, 63 lost, 4 drawn.
Springboks vs All Blacks: the verdict
The All Blacks still lead the rivalry on total wins.
But the modern Springboks have changed the feel of the contest. They have beaten New Zealand in World Cup finals, beaten them back-to-back in South Africa, and in 2025 handed them the heaviest defeat in their history in their own country.
That is why the Springboks versus All Blacks fixture remains unmatched. It is not just the best rivalry because of the past. It is the best rivalry because the next chapter still matters.
And in this rivalry, more than any other in rugby, history is never finished.

What is the Springboks’ biggest win over the All Blacks?
South Africa’s biggest win over New Zealand is the 43-10 victory in Wellington on 13 September 2025.
What is the All Blacks’ biggest win over the Springboks?
New Zealand’s biggest win over South Africa is 57-0 in 2017.
Why is Springboks vs All Blacks called rugby’s greatest rivalry?
Because it combines more than a century of Test history, elite winning standards, repeated title-deciding matches and consistent relevance at the top of world rugby. SA Rugby now officially uses the term “Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry” for the fixture. The two nations have combined for seven World Cup titles.

Andre Esterhuizen is the STECO hybrid power tools hero
Andre Esterhuizen and his hybrid rugby qualities have reaped reward off the field. He is the STECO Hybrid Power Tools Hero and Hybrid Craftsman for South Africa’s hottest new power tool brand, with 40 years of RYOBI credibility.
RUGBY’S FIRST HYBRID TEST PLAYER
Esterhuizen, recently on the cover of SA Rugby Magazine, has been outstanding for the Springboks and the Sharks, whom he captained in his 100th match and continues to lead in the United Rugby Championship.
John Stevens, RYOBI Africa and STECO CEO, in confirming the alignment with Andre ‘the Giant’ and the Hybrid Craftsman campaign, said it was a giant step into the rugby landscape for them as a business, but one that made for a perfect fit, given Esterhuizen’s role as Test rugby’s first proper hybrid player and the power of STECO’s hybrid tools.
‘The Shark’s captain and Springbok utility back has been moulded by coach Rassie Erasmus into the world’s first hybrid player; essentially he is versatile enough to perform at the highest level, globally, as both a back and a forward. This is a perfect metaphor for our STECO offering.’
‘Most power tools are walled gardens, but we have designed STECO batteries to work on RYOBI products and vice versa. Our industry-leading 20v batteries last longer, perform better, and offer the performance and power needed for residential and commercial building projects.’
Esterhuizen says, ‘It’s an absolutely synergistic partnership that just makes sense. The STECO team is proudly South African with several decades worth of credibiity. The Stevens and co team have built one of the most envious power tools offerings on the continent but their after sales, hands on approach, puts the customer at the heart of everything that they do. I’m honoured to represent my country, when given the opportunity. I am relishing the hybrid role that was created for me, and I’m excited to get to work with STECO as the hybrid craftsman, with the hybrid tools that I have at my disposal.’
STECO has been a partner of Keo.co.za and the Keo & Zels show for the past 18 months, with Keo & Zels dedicating a section of the show to the STECO Power Play of the weekend.

That Power Play will now be the Hybrid Power Tools Hero of the weekend, with great competition prizes to be won.

France: Rugby’s Most Seductive Illusion
France are rugby’s great illusion: Celebrated as royalty at home, but on the road they have too often travelled as peasants, as witnessed with the Murrayfield massacre in Scotland scoring 50 points.
The Six Nations match ended 50-40 to Scotland, but don’t be fooled. The story is Scotland scoring 40 unanswered points in the 20 minutes before half time and the 20 after the break.
Charitable tries to France in the final five minutes was never going to change the result, and it should not change the reflection of the match.
Rugby has always been seduced by France. The jerseys, the flair, the romance, the idea that somewhere inside the chaos lies genius. But the professional record, since 1996, tells a colder story.
Four wins from 40 Tests in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
No World Cup gold in 8 tournaments over 30 years
No southern hemisphere series victories.
Nine European titles in three decades.
I am among those always seduced by the folklore of the French, by the celebrated one-off World Cup wins against the All Blacks at Twickenham in the 1999 RWC semi-final and the 20-18 win against the All Blacks at the 2007 RWC quarter-final in Cardiff.
What followed was France losing the next match, one in a final and one in a semi-final.
France, when they hosted the 2007 World Cup, lost the opening match to Argentina and they lost the play-off for third and fourth place to Argentina.
France, in hosting the 2023 World Cup, lost to the defending champion Springboks in the quarter-final.
No Test rugby nation has ever enjoyed such continued hype and delivered such consistent failures.

France, under Fabien Galthié, between 2020 and 2025, have finished second, second, first, second, second and first in the Six Nations. They should add a 10th Six Nations title (in 31 attempts) this weekend when they play England in Paris.
But even that renaissance came with its defining moment on home soil in the 2023 World Cup quarter-final in Paris, when France lost to the Springboks in the quarter-final in Paris.
The margin was just that one point, but one point was as powerful at 20 on the night.
The Boks, defending the World Cup title, won the tournament in beating England in the semi-final and New Zealand in the final, each play-off win being with a point.
France felt they had been a dirty but one year later, hyped again, they fell once more to the Springboks, who won 32-17 in Paris, despite playing 14-15 for 30 of the 80 minutes.
The Boks, in their last 11 matches against France, six in France and five in South Africa, have won five in France and five in South Africa. They have lost one, 30-26 in Marseilles in 2022.
Saturday’s visit to Murrayfield was significant in the assessment of a French team that had been dominant against Ireland in Paris, Wales in Cardiff and Italy in Lille.
Scotland, at Murrayfield, would be as good a measure as any to the mental resolve of a French squad that must travel further than the flight to Edinburgh when challenging for the 2027 World Cup in Australia.
Scotland, at Murrayfield, was a reinforcement of the fragility of the French player psyche when not playing at home.
The defeat, given the hype around France, shocked many, but the manner in which they fell apart was consistent with the past 30 years of professionalism.

France, on those big rugby days when expectation leads them into battle, are not the aristocrats rugby imagines them to be.
They are the sport’s most celebrated illusion, so magnificent in the telling, but far less imposing in the reckoning.

Dave Rennie is a red flag for Rassie and his world champion Boks
Dave Rennie, the new All Blacks coach, is a red flag for Rassie & his world champions Boks. Here is why as the Boks prepare for Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry four-Test series against the All Blacks, three in South Africa and the final Test in Baltimore, USA.
Rennie’s record against the Springboks, when coach of the Wallabies between 2020 and 2022, is a powerful statement.
Rennie’s Wallabies beat the Springboks three times in four Tests
Against the Springboks coached by Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber, Rennie’s Australia team went:
-
3 wins
-
1 loss
Victories came in:
-
Gold Coast (2021)

Brisbane (2021)
-
Adelaide (2022)
The Boks won 24-8 in Sydney a week after the Adelaide defeat. It marked Canan Moodie’s Test debut as a 19 year-old.

How the French & Scottish rugby media told the story of Murrayfield’s madness
The French rugby media called it Murrayfield’s madness. The Scottish rugby media called it Murrayfield’s magical night. Scotland’s 50-40 Six Nations win crushed France’s Grand Slam and turned the tournament’s last round into a three-horse race for the title.
France, Scotland or Ireland can win the title.
France hosts England and Ireland is at home to Scotland.
Ireland have beaten Scotland 11 successive times, but this season’s Six Nations has been about rewriting history.
How French Media Reported the Scotland Win
Shock and disbelief France’s Grand Slam hopes destroyed.
Typical framing in L’Équipe-style coverage:
-
“La France renversée à Murrayfield”
-
“La gifle écossaise”
-
“Un match fou”
Meaning:
-
France overturned in Edinburgh
-
A Scottish slap
-
A crazy match
Narrative themes
-
Defensive collapse – France conceding 50 points was central to the coverage.
-
Discipline problems – yellow cards and loss of control.
-
Scottish attacking brilliance – especially Finn Russell’s orchestration.
French outlets emphasised the humiliation of conceding a half-century rather than Scotland’s title credentials.
🇫🇷 Midi Olympique
Editorial tone
Rugby analysis rather than emotional headlines.
Midi-Olympique focused on:
-
France’s defensive structure breaking down
-
Scotland’s tempo and width
-
The tactical battle between Gregor Townsend and Fabien Galthié
Typical angle:
France lost the collision battle and could not control Scotland’s attacking rhythm.
They also highlighted the fact that Scotland scored seven tries, one of the biggest attacking displays against France in modern Six Nations rugby.
🇫🇷 Rugbyrama
Editorial tone
“Match de folie” match of madness
Rugbyrama leaned heavily into the spectacle of the game.
Typical themes:
-
13 tries
-
chaotic momentum swings
-
Scotland blowing the title race open
The site emphasised that Scotland were 40-14 up before France mounted a late comeback, reinforcing the idea that the damage had already been done.
How Scottish Media Reported the Match
🏴 The Rugby Paper
One of Scotland’s greatest modern performances.
Themes highlighted:
-
Scotland scoring seven tries
-
Scotland blowing open the Six Nations title race
-
Finn Russell masterclass
Scottish media leaned heavily on the idea that this was Townsend’s best Scotland performance.
🏴 The Scotsman
Typical narrative:
“A Murrayfield classic.”
Focus points:
-
Scotland’s attacking brilliance
-
Darcy Graham becoming Scotland’s record try scorer
-
belief that Scotland can challenge for the title
The tone was celebratory but also analytical about Scotland’s development under Gregor Townsend.
🏴 Scottish Sun
Tabloid framing:
-
“FRENCH FRIED”
-
“MURRAYFIELD MAYHEM”
The tabloids leaned heavily into the spectacle of 50 points against France, something rarely seen in the Six Nations era.
SIX NATIONS: EVERY PLAYER STAT, TEAM STAT AND LAST ROUND PERMUTATION
International Rugby
How the English and Italian rugby media told the story of Rome
The English rugby media treated Rome – and England’s first ever defeat to Italy – as a national embarrassment. The Italian rugby media media treated Rome as a national coming-of-age. In England, the theme was blame. In Italy, it was belief.
Here’s your summary of Italy’s 23-18 win against England in the Six Nations. It was the first time Italy had beaten England in their 33rd match-up over 35 years.
The English media line
1) The broad English newspaper angle: crisis, collapse, pressure on Borthwick
The dominant English framing was not “Italy were lucky”; it was England hit a new low. The Guardian called it a historic first victory for Italy and linked it directly to England’s worsening form and a potential crisis under Steve Borthwick. The Telegraph’s line was even harsher: England’s Six Nations is “in ruins” and the defeat was “shattering.” The Independent pushed the same direction, focusing on the “horror half-hour,” the squandered lead, and the pressure now building on Borthwick’s future.
2) The rugby specialist English angle: self-destruction and indiscipline
The rugby-first English platforms were even more forensic. RugbyPass framed it as a historic defeat that piles pressure on Borthwick, while Planet Rugby went bigger: a history-making Italy result that leaves Borthwick’s job “on the line.” Reuters, reporting the post-match reaction, zeroed in on Borthwick’s own explanation: ill-discipline. Across those outlets, the common English diagnosis was clear: England were in control, then lost composure, bled penalties/cards, and handed Italy the game.
3) The key English match narrative
Across Sky Sports, Reuters, the Independent and the Guardian, the repeated turning points were the same: England built a lead, then yellow cards to Sam Underhill and Maro Itoje swung the match, Italy attacked the space and momentum, and Leonardo Marin’s late try finished it. So the English press consensus is: this was less an accident than an England implosion under pressure.
4) The official England Rugby tone: controlled, stripped of drama
England Rugby’s own match report was the least emotional of the English sources. It acknowledged the “first-ever” Italy win and the late try, but the wording was institutional rather than alarmist. That contrast matters: where newspapers saw embarrassment and political heat, the RFU house style presented it as a narrow defeat decided late.
The Italian media line
1) The dominant Italian framing: history, taboo broken, national step forward
Italian coverage was almost unanimous in tone: historic breakthrough. Gazzetta dello Sport said Italy “made history” and broke the last taboo in the Six Nations. The FIR official site called it an “heroic” Italy that beat England for the first time. Corriere dello Sport led with “storica impresa,” while Corriere della Sera called it the first historic win over the English and the end of an era of chasing.
2) The rugby specialist Italian angle: Italy are now a real team
OnRugby’s tone was especially revealing. Their post-match report and ratings were not just celebratory; they argued this was proof that Italy is now a proper, dangerous side. Their language around the team being “una squadra vera” was important because it moved the story beyond one upset and into a larger idea: Gonzalo Quesada has built a side with belief, cohesion and edge.
3) The Italian narrative emphasis: courage, crowd, growth, Quesada
Italian outlets kept returning to four ideas: the crowd at the Olimpico, the emotional significance of finally beating England, the character of the comeback, and Quesada’s long-build project. FIR explicitly described Italy as courageous in a messy, difficult match that had seemed to be slipping away. Gazzetta and Corriere framed it not as a freak day but as the latest step in an upward curve.
The real split between England and Italy
The English press mostly wrote the match as an England failure.
The Italian press mostly wrote it as an Italy arrival.
That is the essential media divide.
England’s outlets asked:
-
How bad is this for Borthwick?
-
Why is England so ill-disciplined?
-
How do you lose from there?
-
Is this the tournament hitting rock bottom?
Italy’s outlets asked:
-
How big is this moment for Italian rugby?
-
What does it say about Quesada’s team?
-
Has the final Six Nations taboo now been removed?
-
Can this side go on and make more history?
Outlet-by-outlet quick breakdown

Six Nations stunner as Scotland fry France & Italy shock England
The romance of the Six Nations reached a peak in Rome when Italy beat England for the first time & in Edinburgh Scotland fried France’s Grand Slam.
What joy for the Italians, the biggest movers in world rugby in the past three seasons.
They won 23-18, having led 10-5 in the 39th minute, then trailed 18-10, only to find something out of the ordinary in 23 year-old midfielder Tommaso Menoncello who scored a spectacular try and made an equally imposing break as the try-assist for the winner in the 73rd minute.
England had beaten Italy 32 times in succession, gone past 50 on nine occasions and blanked the Italians twice in the past 35 years, but in Rome history was there to be written, given England’s Six Nations slump, and Italy duly rewrote history.
It was glorious for the Italians and equally mesmerising for the rugby neutral. This was a win that has been building for a bit. Italy, this season, won against Scotland in Rome, were in touching distance of toppling Ireland in Dublin and trailed France 19-11 with 10 minutes to go in Lille.
France, in scoring three late tries, won more comfortably than the first 70 minutes played out, and Italy took those painful lessons and applied them in Rome. They played until the 81st minute, refusing to cave to expectation or implode in what is among their biggest wins in history.
Italy have won against the Springboks once and Australia a couple of times. They have beaten France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but never England and the All Blacks. Now that list is down to just the All Blacks.
England, in the last month, have gone from a team unbeaten in 12 matches, to one shell-shocked with three successive defeats, hammerings to Scotland (away) and Ireland (home).
Now this result in Rome and France in Paris still to come next weekend.
Their next Test is on the 4th July against the world champion Springboks in Pretoria.
A month ago the English were pleading to play the Boks the next weekend. The ‘Bring on the Boks’ chorus is now on mute.
Scotland, beaten in the opening round in Rome, responded with a comprehensive home win against England before a late seven pointer in the 75th minute downed Wales in Cardiff.
On Saturday, at Murrayfield, Scotland were irresistible in scoring 40 unanswered points in as many minutes in the last 20 of the first half and the first 20 of the second half to turn a 14-7 deficit into a 47-14 lead. France scored two tries in the back end to bring it back to 47-26 with less than 10 minutes to go. Finn Russell kicked a penalty to bring up the 50 and in a bizarre finish to the Test, France scored two more tries in the last three minutes to force a scoreline of 50-40, which was everything but how the match had played out for 65 minutes.
Scotland travel to Dublin in next weekend’s final round with the hopes of winning the title, should France stumble at home to England.
Ireland can also win the title if they beat Scotland and France lose to England.

SA teams flex their muscle as URC heats up
South Africa’s URC franchises continue to make their presence felt across the competition’s statistical landscape, with Round 12 offering another reminder of the attacking firepower and individual quality spread across the Vodacom Bulls, DHL Stormers, Hollywoodbets Sharks and Fidelity SecureDrive Lions.
From the Bulls’ scoring spree to the Stormers’ territorial dominance and several standout individual performances, the numbers from the latest round – and the season as a whole – underline just how influential the South African sides remain.
Bulls lead the attacking charge
If there was one South African side that truly lit up Round 12, it was the Vodacom Bulls.
Jake White’s men finished the round top of the tries scored chart with seven, while also leading the competition for points scored with 41.
Those numbers reflect a Bulls side that has increasingly leaned into its attacking weapons. With players such as Canan Moodie, Sebastian de Klerk and Embrose Papier capable of breaking games open, the Pretoria outfit continues to show why it remains one of the competition’s most dangerous attacking teams.
Over the course of the season, that attacking consistency has also paid dividends. The Bulls sit third overall for tries scored with 45, trailing only Glasgow Warriors and Leinster.
Individually, Bulls players also featured strongly in the Round 12 metrics. Centre Harold Vorster topped the round’s line-break statistics with four, while scrumhalf Embrose Papier was among the leaders for metres gained.
Stormers creating pressure
The DHL Stormers may not have dominated the Round 12 scoreboard, but the numbers show they still spent plenty of time on the front foot.
John Dobson’s side finished first for visits to the opposition 22 with 15, highlighting the territorial pressure they were able to apply.
That ability to create opportunities remains one of the Stormers’ biggest strengths. Even when finishing proves difficult, the Cape side consistently generates attacking platforms.
Among the individual standouts, Evan Roos once again showed his influence with 15 carries in the round, placing him among the most active ball carriers in the competition.
Roos’ work rate and dynamism have been a hallmark of the Stormers’ pack all season.
Lions continue to deliver attacking output
The Fidelity SecureDrive Lions have quietly built one of the more productive attacking records in the competition.
In Round 12 they finished joint second for points scored with 24, underlining their ability to convert opportunities when they present themselves.
Across the season the Johannesburg side has maintained that attacking momentum, ranking among the top teams for points scored with 325.
Players like Henco van Wyk and Quan Horn continue to provide attacking spark, with Horn also featuring prominently in the season-long kicking metrics.
Sharks battling in the physical exchanges
For the Hollywoodbets Sharks, Round 12 highlighted the defensive demands they faced.
The Durban side recorded 92 tackles during the round, reflecting the physical workload they had to absorb.
The Sharks’ attacking threats remain clear, however, with players such as Andre Esterhuizen continuing to feature among the competition’s most effective ball carriers.
As the season progresses, converting pressure into points will be key to ensuring the Durban side climbs further up the standings.
SA influence remains strong
Zooming out across the full season statistics, South Africa’s presence across the URC remains significant.
The Bulls are among the competition’s leading attacking sides, the Lions continue to accumulate points, the Stormers remain dangerous in opposition territory and the Sharks continue to bring their physical edge.
On the individual front, players like Sebastian de Klerk, Evan Roos, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Quan Horn all feature prominently across the competition’s attacking metrics.
With the URC season entering its decisive stretch, the numbers suggest South Africa’s franchises will continue to play a major role in shaping the race for the playoffs.

Markus Muller will play for the Springboks in 2026
Markus Muller will play for the Springboks in 2026. Good enough is old enough, and Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has never had an issue picking a young one or an old one.
Muller and SA under 20 captain Riley Norton are experiencing the Springboks culture in Cape Town this week as part of Erasmus’s first national alignment camp for the season as the Boks coach counts down the 21 matches (20 Tests and the Barbarians season opener) before the start of the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
The Boks, their four World Cup golds the most in the 10 tournament history, would make history in winning a third successive World Cup. They won the 2019 and 2023 World Cups, a back-to-back feat only achieved once before by Richie McCaw’s All Blacks in 2011 and 2015.
Here’s a piece I did on Muller for the Sunday Times.
Markus Muller, the schoolboy sensation from Paarl Gimnasium, needs backing more than protection from the hype.
And that is exactly the endorsement he got from Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus earlier this week with inclusion in the Springboks alignment camp, in Cape Town, next week.
Muller, 18 years-old, signed with the Stormers in 2026 and has already trained with the senior squad. He played for the SA under 20s against Georgia last weekend.
He is an exceptional talent, and age has never been a consideration for talents of his ilk. They transition straight onto the biggest stages
Canan Moodie made his Springboks Test debut in 2022 as a 19-year-old winger against Australia in Sydney. He was superb. A year later he was a World Cup winner.
Frans Steyn made his Test debut against Ireland in 2006 as a 19 year-old winger and was South Africa’s Player of the Match. A year later he was a World Cup winner.
Muller has the potential and pedigree to write a similar script, given the next World Cup is in Australia in 2027.
Erasmus has never referenced age as a negative in his selections. He picked hooker Schalk Brits (38) for World Cup duty in 2019 and entrusted the then 37 year-old Deon Fourie with a multi-faceted role at the 2023 World Cup. Brits and Fourie are World Cup winners.
Some of the sport’s iconic backs were playing Test rugby in their teens. John Kirwan, Jeff Wilson and Jonah Lomu were all All Blacks wingers as 19 year-olds. James O’Connor played wing for the Wallabies as an 18 year-old and the midfield duo of Tim Horan and Jason Little were Wallabies as 19 year-olds.
Muller, comfortable wearing No 12 and No 13, scored more than 50 tries in his Grade 11 and 12 years playing for Paarl Gim, Western Province and SA Schools.
He also kicked many points and in 2025 he scored 43 points in one match.
Having watched him through SuperSport’s Schools broadcasts and seen several of his matches live, his point of difference is not in size, but in a rugby IQ that complements a physical presence.
He is a back, who in his final schools’ year, relished joining the forwards in a lineout maul, as much as he did running a try-scoring support line as a midfield back.
I can see him developing into a hybrid player as he physically evolves.
His try-scoring headlined most of his school matches, but his assists were even more impressive. He is not a one-trick pony who dominated schools rugby because of superior size.
He is a player with an understanding of the nuances of the sport and a natural appreciation that rugby is a team sport.
Erasmus has recognised his on-field quality and will get to experience the youngster’s energy up close. Culture is the essence of Erasmus’s World Cup-winning Springboks.
If a player doesn’t fit in, no matter his pedigree, he won’t get selected.
Muller will fit in and there is no ‘if’ about him playing for the Springboks; the only question is when he plays for the Springboks.

A recap of the Fidelity Secure Drive Lions winning the South Africa Shield, courtesy of the URC official communications team.
Their trophy triumph was confirmed when their 24-10 victory over the DHL Stormers was followed by the Hollywoodbets Sharks losing 41-12 to the Vodacom Bulls.
The Lions won four of their six domestic derbies to finish three points ahead of the Sharks, with the Bulls and Stormers – who meet in Pretoria later this month – now unable to catch them.
As well as topping the South African table, they are also looking good in the overall Vodacom URC log as they set their sights on the play-offs. They have moved into seventh spot following back-to-back Ellis Park victories over the Sharks and now the Stormers.
Skipper Francke Horn said: “It’s been a fantastic last two weeks. Two really good wins, local derbies that in previous seasons could have gone the other way.”
Head coach Ivan van Rooyen added: “I think we’ve grown a lot over the last month. The experienced leaders are driving hard and pushing what’s needed.
“We spoke during pre-season about needing to be better and more consistent against South African teams, as that’s where we felt we lost points in the past. So I’m incredibly proud.”
Playing their first game since the announcement of their new sponsored branding, the Lions built a solid lead against the Stormers in Johannesburg with tries from flanker Sibabalwe Mahashe, centre Henco van Wyk and wing Erich Cronje.
They then defended heroically, keeping their opponents out even when they were down to 13 men following two yellow cards in quick succession, one of which – to prop Conrad van Vuuren – was upgraded to a 20 minute red card.
The defeat for the Stormers came on a weekend when the league table was turned on its head with the top three going into the Origin round of matches all being beaten.
Leaders Glasgow Warriors suffered a dramatic last minute loss to Connacht Rugby in Galway with Kiwi No 8 Sean Jansen scoring a lineout maul try in the final play to secure a 15-10 triumph.
Second-placed Leinster Rugby saw their seven game winning run in the league come to an end as they were defeated 8-7 by Cardiff Rugby in monsoon-like conditions at the Arms Park.
That result sees Cardiff move up to third, overtaking the Stormers who have now lost their last three Vodacom URC matches having won their first eight.
Munster Rugby have advanced into fourth spot thanks to a hard-fought 21-7 win over Zebre Parma at Thomond Park where it was 7-7 at half-time.
The Stormers are down to fifth, while Ulster Rugby have dropped to sixth after losing 21-10 to the Ospreys in Bridgend.
Below the celebrating Lions, the top eight is completed by the Bulls who ran in seven tries in beating the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld, with two apiece from scrum-half Embrose Papier and centre Harold Vorster.
The weekend’s other games saw Edinburgh Rugby beat the Scarlets 24-19, while Dragons RFC and Benetton Rugby drew 15-15 amid more late drama at Rodney Parade.
Ospreys On The Play-Off Hunt
Ospreys coach Mark Jones believes his team can make the play-offs having moved within a point of the top eight by extending their unbeaten league run to five matches with a 21-10 win over Ulster.
They secured the spoils with late tries from Player of the Match James Ratti and winger Dan Kasende in front of their delighted fans at Bridgend’s Brewery Field.
Reflecting on his team’s hopes of qualifying for the knock-out stages, Jones said: “There are six rounds left. We have got to go on the road a little bit in the next few weeks, but we’ve also got some derbies in there.
“There’s a lot of rugby to be played. It is tight. Anybody at any time can get in that top eight at the moment, right down to about 14th.
“One bonus point win, one loss can shift you up and down the table three or four places.
“So we are going to have to string some games together. But that’s five now we are undefeated in the league, so that’s a bit of momentum.
“I do think we can make the top eight. I really believe in the group.”
Trailing 10-7 at the break, the Ospreys hammered away through the second half, but couldn’t turn pressure into points until flanker Ratti went over from a tap penalty 12 minutes from time, with winger Kasende then pouncing to seal the victory late on.
“We made very hard work of it in patches, particularly the second half,” said Jones.
“I think with about 15 minutes to go, it was 70 per cent territory and not a lot to show for it.
“Our conversion rate in the red zone was well below what it normally is.
“But we found a way. We went away from the lineout and went after a tap strike. It was smart from the boys there just to mix it up.
“We have got it up our sleeve. It’s another way of us trying to convert in that area of the pitch.
“We showed some good leadership on the field there to identify it and adjust well. I was really pleased with the composure and just pleased for the boys overall.”
Adding his assessment, blindside Ratti said: “It was a big physical battle.
“Ulster are having a good season and we knew they were going to bring it physically, so it was up to us to match it and try and go beyond.
“We back ourselves against anyone here at the Brewery Field. It’s always a good occasion down here. You can hear the fans all the time. When you are blowing, you hear the crowd. They get behind you and it gives you that little extra bit in your legs to keep fighting.
“Even after we went behind quite early, we were confident we were still going to be in the game. We stuck to our process, fought back and I thought we deserved it in the end.”
Saturday evening’s other game in Wales saw a dramatic ending at Rodney Parade where the Dragons and Benetton drew 15-15.
It looked as though the Italian visitors were going to claim the spoils with Player of the Match Onisi Ratave having crossed twice to put them in front.
But, in the final play of the game, the Dragons’ centre Fine Inise touched down to level the scores.
That gave Angus O’Brien the chance to secure a fifth successive home win for his team, but the full-back’s touchline conversion just drifted wide.
His coach Filo Tiatia said: “What I said to the group is the silver lining is we’ve got two points out of it.
“I was very proud of the performance. The character, the grit, the scrap and the fight wanting to stay in it was excellent.”
Giving the view from the Benetton camp, their skipper Andy Uren said: “We let that one go. We should have won the game. I think we were the better team. We are very, very disappointed.”
Belcher Blown Away By His Team’s Fighting Spirit
Cardiff captain Liam Belcher has paid tribute to the “unbelievable fight” from his team in the wake of their victory over league champions Leinster.
Belcher’s boys triumphed 8-7 at a rainswept Arms Park as they held firm in the tense closing stages to end their opponents’ 11-match winning run in all competitions and move up to third in the Vodacom URC table.
The way they saw the game out was all the more impressive given they were down to 14 men for the final 15 minutes with winger Jacob Beetham unable to get back on the field following his yellow card as his team ran down the clock in a protracted final play.
“From the boys’ point of view, the fight they showed in that weather was unbelievable,” said Wales hooker Belcher.
“It was sopping out there. It was like a monsoon in the first half, so fair credit to them.
“We did the last 15 minutes with 14 men because we didn’t get Jacob back on quick enough. That’s just a credit to the squad.”
Reflecting on the win, he added: “For the table, it’s quite big. It hopefully puts us in a better position than we were last year.”
Beetham was understandably relieved, with Leinster having crossed straight after his 65th minute sin binning for a deliberate knock-on to cut the deficit to just a point.
“When they scored that try, I was thinking the worst and thinking ‘Oh no’ because it feels like it comes back on you if you are the one that has got the yellow,” he said.
“I wanted to get back on and I was a little bit nervous at the end. I was just so happy when we managed to keep them out and come away with the win. It was really cool.
“A win against Leinster is amazing. They are such a great outfit, so whenever we get a chance to play a team like that you are licking your lips thinking this could be an amazing win if we get it. To be fair, we stuck to our game plan and it worked.”
Head coach Corniel van Zyl picked out one area of his team’s performance for particular praise.
“Our discipline was the best it has been this season and potentially what I can remember in my coaching experience because we only conceded three penalties which was massive,” he said.
“It’s always nice to get on the right side of the result. I thought we adapted well to the conditions. Obviously the kicking came into play and I was pleased with how the plan unfolded.
“We pride ourselves on performing at home. We want to make this place a fortress and be as good as we can at the Arms Park in front of our friends and families. That was the biggest focus.”
Cardiff’s try came from scrum-half Aled Davies who claimed his first touchdown for the club.
“It was great. The weather was tough, but we played some good rugby,” he said.
“We have got big games coming up and we know that, so it’s important for us to really crack on with the end of the season.”
Leinster coach Leo Cullen said: “I thought Cardiff deserved to win. They were better in terms of their kicking strategy and they were incredibly disciplined with everything that they did.”
In Friday night’s other game, Edinburgh played some sparkling rugby as they came from 14-0 down to beat the Scarlets 24-19 at the Hive Stadium, with full-back Harry Paterson claiming the winning try 11 minutes from time.
Their coach Sean Everitt commented: “My nerves were shot after that! It must have been enjoyable to watch from the side, I’m sure.
“I didn’t think it would be perfect, but I didn’t expect to have conceded 15 turnovers by half-time. So that put us under the pump.
“It was then just about looking after the ball and tidying up the breakdown. We put together the first 10 minutes in the second half really well and that set the foundation for us.”
Scarlets director of rugby Nigel Davies said: “We were on top in the main in the first half, but Edinburgh played some great rugby in the second half and we couldn’t contain them. We had opportunities, but we just weren’t clinical enough.”
What’s Coming Next?
There’s a break from league action next week as the focus switches back to the Guinness Six Nations.
But there are three rearranged fixtures on the eve of the Super Saturday finale to the Championship, with Connacht hosting the Scarlets and Edinburgh entertaining Ulster on Friday, March 13. The Bulls are at home to the Stormers on Saturday, March 14.
Then there’s a full programme on the weekend of March 20-21.

Brutal Bulls. Beautiful rugby. Bumper crowd.
The Bulls were brutal in their slaughter of the Sharks, but the rugby they played was beautiful.
And 33 000 made it to Loftus for the celebration.
This was another statement made by Johan Ackermann’s Bulls. A few weeks ago they were as imposing in scoring 52 points against the Lions at Ellis Park.
They won 41-12 against the Sharks at Loftus on Saturday, but with more accurate goal kicking, they would have passed 50 points.
The Sharks, but for a brief period in the second half, were never in this game. They were shut out defensively in the opening quarter and when the Bulls got a chance to strike, they did so through the Midas touch of Canan Moodie.
Moodie is a special player, whether playing right wing or outside centre.
On Saturday, he played in the No 13 jersey, and defensively he produced a masterclass to contain the dangerous Jurenzo Julius. On attack, he was even better. Moodie glides, but there is an acceleration that is a differentiator. He showed this in scoring his try after inside centre Harold Vorster had made the initial running.
Vorster was outstanding against the Lions and he was influential against the Sharks. He was up against the in-form Andre Esterhuizen, the Sharks captain and bulldozer. He stood his ground and provided pivotal attacking moments.
Esterhuizen is a beast and he is always going to keep three defenders busy, but on Saturday even he was powerless to halt a Bulls stampede that yielded four tries within 35 minutes.
Vorster made two tries and scored the final one of the match.
Bulls scrumhalf Embrose Paper benefitted from accuracy in his support line running, but his all-round game was impressive. He kicked with authority and he played with balance. His partnership with veteran World Cup-winning flyhalf Handre Pollard will be significant in the Bulls charge for the play-offs.
The Bulls forwards, collectively, were united and in sync. Individually, Elrigh Louw, Nizaam Carr and Ruan Nortje were prominent, and it took replacement prop Wilco Louw just one scrum to stabilise the Bulls scrum when introduced in the 55th minute and just a second scrum to win the Bulls a penalty.
The Bulls, transformed in playing style, discipline, conviction, attacking shape and defensive mongrel from the side that lost seven successive matches in all competitions earlier in the season, made it four wins on the bounce in the URC, with three of them being away from home.
I was at Loftus for the Bulls Investec Champions Cup defeat to Bordeaux when they conceded 21 unanswered points in the second half and failed to score a point in the last 40 minutes after scoring 33 points in the first half.
I watched them disintegrate against Bristol in conceding four tries within 15 minutes and 61 points.
Ackermann was at a loss to explain the ineptness of such quality players, the lack of care for the ball when in possession, the ease with which they raised the white flag defensively and the lack of appetite for the jersey.
They were a shambles.
URC ORIGIN WEEKEND: SA SCHOOLS SYSTEM WORKS
Ackermann had inherited support staff coaches in Andries Bekker and Chris Rossouw, who had been long-time assistants to the departed head coach and Director of Rugby Jake White.
Ackermann had to make a change and get his own assistants into the coach’s box, take charge of the forwards and lay down the law that this was his team and that they would play his way, which has always been a convincing mixture of power and pizzaz.
What I saw at Loftus against the Sharks was a team coached by Johan Ackermann, playing with the balance he preaches as a coaching philosophy and with the heart that he has always demanded from players.
They cared.
They defended their try line when leading 36-12 as if they were leading 13-12.
There has been a cultural shift for the Bulls, led by Ackermann, who in the seven successive defeats in all competitions earlier in the season, insisted that things would change for the better.
They have and the wins against the Lions and Sharks are confirmation that the Bulls are back and that alone is a thing of beauty in the context of South African rugby.
As for the Sharks, to borrow from their coach JP Pietersen, the past fortnight has been a case of one step forward and three back, especially after the back-to-back wins against the Stormers.

Clarity beats clutter as lethal Lions outthink and outplay the Stormers
The difference at Ellis Park was clarity of thought and a respect for ball possession. The Lions had it and the Stormers didn’t.
Heroic defence in the final quarter complemented an on-field rugby intelligence the Stormers could not match as the Lions won 24-10 in their Vodacom United Rugby Championship derby.
It was a match they never looked like losing as a double strike within a few minutes took them to 14-0 after the first 20 minutes had been scoreless.
Morné van den Berg controlled the derby from the first quarter and never loosened his grip. The Springbok scrumhalf was decisive, accurate and composed.
Van den Berg’s kicking game turned the Stormers repeatedly and his contestable kick led to winger Angelo Davids’ chase and offload for Siba Mahashe’s opening try. Minutes later, a clever short bounce kick from Van den Berg created indecision and Henco van Wyk profited. Two moments. Two correct decisions. Fourteen points.
The Lions kept it simple: catch, pass and kick when required. They attacked from the right areas and forced the Stormers to play from deep. They needed just 24 tackles in the first half because they owned territory and possession.
The Stormers looked like a side that had not played for a month. Their aerial work was poor. Their handling was loose and their decision-making was muddled. When they had the ball, they forced offloads and when they required patience, they rushed most things.
This is a team that in the last month has sought the sensational in execution when the situation screamed simplicity.
The Stormers improved at scrum time after the break and gained territory. The Lions conceded penalties and lost two players to head-contact cards, playing with 13 for a decisive period and 14 v 15 in the final five minutes.
That should have been the Stormers’ moment, when having 15 versus 13, but it wasn’t because of poor decision-making and a disregard for the preciousness of the ball in the contact.
Held up three times over the line, they failed to score a single point in the final half hour despite the numerical advantage. The Lions defended with determination, but also structure in the final quarter, and attacked with potency when transitioning. The Stormers, who self-destructed often in their own half, attacked without precision when given so many try-scoring opportunities in the second half.
URC ORIGIN WEEKEND: SA’S SCHOOLS SYSTEM WORKS
The win was the Lions fourth from their six derby matches and it secured them the SA Shield, with the winner determined exclusively from the derby matches. The Lions also consolidated a top eight URC league position.
The Stormers, unbeaten and top a month ago, have now lost three straight league matches and four of their last five in all competitions.

South Africa’s State of Origin – our Schools system works
The elite layer is concentrated but across the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Stormers there are 64 schools represented. That tells you the base of the South African game is broad and that the state of Origin on this celebratory United Rugby Championship Origin weekend is healthy.
The natural feeder system is in Paarl and Stellenbosch. It has always been the case with Paarl Boys High, Paarl Gim, Paul Roos and Boland Landbou producing elite professional players with each matric cycle.
Grey College, in the past 30 years, has owned the title of a Springboks and professional rugby player factory more than any other school in the country. Others, like Boshaai, Gim and Paul Roos are always present, but over this period Grey College has produced the greatest number.
In this URC season, Grey College and Boshaai share the top spot of providing 18 players, split across all four South African URC clubs.
Krugersdorp’s Monument (Lions) and Bishops (Stormers) are a celebration of home grown talent graduating from schoolboy to professional rugby without having to relocate, while the traditional rugby powerhouses in Kwazulu-Natal (Glenwood, Hilton, Westville and Maritzburg College) continue to make a statement that local is lekker in KZN.
The Bulls, of the four SA clubs, have the most extensive recruitment drive, and have over the years consistently been leaders in securing the most sought after talent, be it out of school or at a later stage.
Bloemfontein, by way of Grey College, and Paarl, are greater feeders for the Bulls, who have not relied exclusively on the Schools Big Five. Many a player from local schools has proven good enough to be contracted.
The Stormers will also feel they’ve been true to realism in their recruitment because there are only so many players who can be signed and the core of the country’s elite talent comes out of the Western Cape.
The fact that these players are willing to relocate and are so sought after is what ensures a balance in domestic strength, which is illustrated in this season’s URC SA Shield. With two rounds to play, any one of the four teams could win the Shield. The final SA derby is played at Loftus between the Bulls and Stormers, and the Shield winner could come down to this match.
There could also be a situation where all four teams end on three wins from six.

The elite layer is concentrated, with Grey College and Boshaai the most prominent producers of professional players, but the good news story is a reach that extends to another 62 schools.
What it says to me is that if you are good enough you will make it, regardless of the school you attended.
One only has to look at the composition of the back to back World Cup-winning Springboks to have this point reinforced. So many of those gold medal winners did not come through the elite and premier rugby schooling institutions.
The URC’s Origin weekend is a celebration of a player’s roots, and an acknowledgement of where it all started, but it is also a statement of what is good in the schools system in South African rugby.
TOP 10 SCHOOL PRODUCERS OF SA-BASED URC PLAYERS IN 2025/26
1. Grey College 18 players
-
Bulls: 8
-
Sharks: 4
-
Stormers: 4
-
Lions: 2

4. Paarl Gimnasium 10
-
Bulls: 4
-
Stormers: 4
-
Sharks: 2
5. Hoërskool Monument 9
-
Lions: 7
-
Sharks: 2
Those five schools alone account for 67 contracted players across the four South African URC franchises.
That is the spine of the professional game.
Then comes the second tier:
Glenwood High School 8
-
Sharks: 4
-
Lions: 2
-
Bulls: 2
Bishops Diocesan College 8
-
Stormers: 6
-
Bulls: 1
-
Lions: 1
Westville Boys’ High School 5
-
Sharks: 3
-
Bulls: 1
-
Lions: 1
Maritzburg College 5
-
Sharks: 3
-
Stormers: 2
Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) 4
-
Bulls: 1
-
Sharks: 1
-
Lions: 1
-
Stormers: 1
The deeper story is:
-
64 schools represented
-
37 schools with one player
-
11 schools with two players
-
The rest clustered at three and above
So what does it tell us?
First, the elite rugby factories still dominate the professional pipeline. Grey and Paarl Boys are not historical brands they are current production leaders. Paarl Boys High, Paul Roos, Paarl Gim, Bishops and Grey College remain structurally embedded in the Stormers and Bulls pathways. Monument underpins the Lions and Glenwood, Westville and Maritzburg sustain the Sharks.
Second, recruitment has shifted. The Bulls are the most nationally constructed squad: eight from Grey, four from Paarl Gim, three from Paarl Boys, two from Paul Roos. Pretoria contracts beyond provincial borders better than any other franchise.
Third, accessibility remains real. Thirty-seven schools have one representative. That is opportunity and shows that the pathway is not closed but very competitive.
What the numbers from Origin weekend confirm is that the factor model works and that the professional door remains open to any player who is good enough.

Bok Damian de Allende is the best No 12 in the world
Springboks and Wild Knights Damian de Allende continues to set the standards among No 12s in world rugby. He is the best – and has been for some time.
In the Keo & Zels show earlier this week, there was agreement that De Allende remains the standout No 12 in the game.
Keo: Damian de Allende has done it all. Two World Cups. Rugby Championships. Outstanding for Munster in the URC and Investec Champions Cup. A superstar in Japan. A force for the Stormers and Western Province.
Yet when the “best No 12 in the world” debate starts, his name is often an afterthought.
Ireland’s Stu McCloskey has had a strong Six Nations and suddenly some commentators are calling him the benchmark. That’s recency bias. De Allende has been the benchmark for a decade.
He is the glue in the Springbok midfield. When he plays, they are a different side. When he doesn’t, you feel it. Sonny Bill Williams said last season that the most undervalued piece of the South African World Cup puzzle is Damian de Allende. He’s right.
De Allende has strength in contact, a complete passing game and a rugby IQ that the public underrates but coaches don’t. Tony Brown rates him the best passer in the Bok set-up.
The move to Japan extended his career. League One is improving every season, but it’s not the weekly collision of the URC or Top 14. It has preserved him and I believe he has another World Cup in him.
If we’re picking a No 12 tomorrow? I take him. Every time. He is the best No 12 in the world.
ALL BLACKS GREATS RAVE ABOUT DE ALLENDE
Zels:
That’s the difference between media noise and player reality.
In player circles, “Doogz” gets huge respect. It’s the same story as Franco Mostert. At the Lions people asked what he actually did. Then he became a Bok and suddenly everyone understood the work rate and detail.
De Allende does the heavy lifting. He wins collisions. He cleans up. He organises. He makes the right decision more often than not. Players and coaches see it immediately.
In his prime? For me, absolutely – he’s the best 12 in world rugby.
RECALL: HOW RASSIE REINVENTED DE ALLENDE IN 2019
Last weekend he played his 50th match for the Wild Knights in Japan – another reminder of his consistency and professionalism. Whether it was Milnerton High in Cape Town, a World Cup final with the Springboks, Munster on a European night, or League One in Japan, the standard never drops.

URC: Julius stars but the Lions roar loudest at Ellis Park
URC: The Lions, with Morne van den Berg massive, roared the loudest at Ellis Park with an emphatic win against the Sharks, for whom Jurenzo Julius was the best player.
Morne van den Berg was the pick of the Lions and the best player on display in the Lions bonus point win. The Springboks scrum half was at the heart of everything good about the Lions performance, in a Round 8 match that was played between Rounds 11 and 12 of the competition.
The win moves the Lions into seventh place in the URC and it also kept alive the SA Shield. Had the Sharks won, they would have claimed the Shield, given they already had three bonus-point wins in four matches against their South African colleagues.
The Sharks have beaten the Bulls and the Stormers twice and lost in the final play against the Lions in Durban a month ago.
But it is the Lions who now can claim the Shield if they beat the Stormers at Ellis Park next Saturday.
The Sharks will play the Bulls at Loftus in Pretoria next week and the Stormers and Bulls will complete the South African derbies within the URC in Pretoria on the 14th March.
The Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen picked his strongest match 23 and they were too powerful and precise for a Sharks match 23 missing seven of their first choice Springboks. Sharks coach JP Pietersen invested in youth and some hardened veterans, but the collective of the Sharks could not match the individual class of 21 year-old centre Jurenzo Julius, who ran with condition and with reward, scored a try, had one disallowed and always made metres in the tackle.
JULIUS IN BOKS MIDFIELD AUDITION
Veteran lock Jason Jenkins battled hard, but that was the lot for the visitors who are ninth in the URC league standings. They have four wins in 11 matches.
Van den Berg was the general at No 9, his halfback partner Chris Smith did not miss a kick at posts and the Lions midfield of Bronson Mills and Henco Van Wyk were convincing as a pairing.
Wingers Angelo Davids and Kelly Mpeku chased everything and turned every kick into an attacking one.
Lions fullback Quan Horn was confident and flanker Ruan Venter, lock Ettienne Oosthuizen were a menace and a presence. My personal favourite Asenathi Ntlabakanye produced trademark tackles, handled the tighthead side of the scrum effectively and was regular in taking the ball to the line.
Van den Berg was very good and the Lions were very good in responding from the 52-17 defeat a fortnight ago against the Bulls at Ellis Park.
The Lions have beaten the Sharks in the last three matches at Ellis Park in the URC, each time comfortably, and have won five of the last six matches against the Sharks.

Your article (parts of it) is definitely rather powerful and that is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can easily see a jumps in logic you make, I am not convinced of exactly how you seem to unite the points which make the actual final result. For now I shall subscribe to your issue but wish in the near future you connect the facts better.
