You would expect most professional sportsmen are well-versed in the high fives department. That still can’t prevent the odd shocker, like this gem from the weekend.
Pistorius on verge of suicide. Habana out for 10 weeks. Elon Musk wants to die on Mars. Google Glass banned from bar. Fouche wins Argus Cycle Tour. SA Tennis’ Anderson pulls off shock win. Abu Qatada is behind bars. The US gun industry’s most outrageous marketing ploys.
The Lions Rugby franchise has been booted into Super15 touch by the SARU bigwigs. The highly controversial and much-maligned Southern Kings will replace the Gauteng union, in a move that has been pegged more for its strategic developmental and politically expedient benefits than pure merit. IOL has more: The top four teams in the South […]
2oceansvibe’s bi-weekly sports columnist, Sean Wilson, mulls over the important aspects of this weekend’s upcoming Super 15 semi-final between the Stormers and the Sharks.
It is patently obvious that the brand of rugby that the Bulls play is not the way forward for the Springboks. It is vital that Heyneke Meyer ensures that the personnel he selects for the Rugby Championship can play a game that includes intelligence and momentum created from flair and creativity.
Welcome to another week of sports betting fun! This week, for a mere R182, you could enjoy riches of up to TEN GRAND! Don’t forget that one weekend where you lot took home R600k worth of winnings on the 2oceansvibe Multiple bet? Hooowhaah! Read up on that here if you missed it. You would have worked out […]
It’s Week 4 of the 2012 Super 15 tournament and it’s the first round of ‘big’ byes, with three teams, the Bulls, the Crusaders and the Lions, all taking a break and earning four points for their efforts. But what about the remaining 12 teams? Well, those 12 teams will be involved in six fixtures […]
I just browsed bet.co.za and looked at the Blues vs. Blues game this weekend. They’re giving some stunning odds on the first try scorer of the game. Check this out: While it’s surely within the realms of reason to suggest that the likes of Wynand Olivier (14 to 1), Rene Ranger (10 to 1) and […]
After two rounds of 2012 Super Rugby action, who would have guessed that the Blues and Sharks would be winless and that the Highlanders and Chiefs would be heading up the New Zealand conference? That, you see, is the beauty of the Super 15 and as we head into Round Three, there are – once […]
It’s as simple as that, gang. I just looked at SA’s hottest sports betting site (here) and they are giving 20 to 1 odds, if Stormers draw first blood with a drop goal against the Sharks on Saturday (SUPER 15). Do you realise how easy it is for that to happen? Shit, I might even […]
With wins for the Reds, Brumbies, Highlanders, Crusaders, Stormers, Bulls and the Lions in Week 1 of the 2012 Super Rugby tournament, some of last week’s losers could make you money this coming weekend on Bet.co.za. The Chiefs at home to the Blues (in their all-New Zealand clash), the Rebels at home to the Waratahs […]
The odds suggest that the Crusaders and Reds might have been earmarked by Bet.co.za as pre-season Super Rugby favourites, but they will also be the sides to make money on in Round One of the 2012 tournament. Both the Crusaders and the Reds – finalists in 2011 – will be playing local derbies away from […]
One person who won’t be visiting TripAdvisor’s number one world destination this year is controversial Kiwi rugby ref, Bryce Lawrence, who has been left out of any South African matches for this year’s Super 15 fixtures.
Surely if you were paid to act as the TV match official to assist a referee controlling a rugby game, you would pride yourself on your capacity to communicate. You don’t have to run anywhere; you don’t have to blow anything and you don’t even have to get out of your pyjamas for the Lord’s sake. All you need do is watch the game and share an opinion if asked. Easier money than a Bangkok rub ‘n tug parlour operator. Click for more.
What made the Stormers loss to the Crusaders at Newlands on Saturday most disappointing was the fact that the Cape Town boys played most of the rugby. And in the second half we had two golden opportunities to win the game but were let down by the little things. Click link for more.
Never one to shy away from saying things that might just come back to bite him, our national rugby coach and orator, Peter de Villiers, has pretty much called Sonny Bill Williams overrated. He’s also said that we’ll have him worked out come the World Cup.
Confirmed!
The Sharks will be playing their game against the Crusaders at Twickenham on March 27.
I told you last week that the English Rugby Football Union (RFU) had said no to hosting the Super 15 game between the Sharks and Crusaders at Twickenham in the wake of 6,5 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch. But now it seems that the RFU may have had a change of heart.
After the earthquake that hit New-Zealand last month the Canterbury Crusaders have been left without a home venue, as it’s in pretty bad shape. So the Crusaders asked the Sharks if they’d be keen to play the game in London instead.
If you’re a rugby fan in Cape Town, and you haven’t heard of the Neo Africa Tri-Series, then you’ve been missing a trick. This year’s Tri-Series is the second of the annual event, designed to test the mettle of three local Super Rugby teams prior to the kick off of the Super 15. This year, […]
Yes, ladies and gents, the great rugby machine that is South Africa is about to wake from its festive slumber, and it’s keen to begin stretching those butt-kicking muscles. You guessed it, it’s almost Super Rugby time. And Super Rugby team of course means it’s warm up game time. But since we’ve gotten used to winning, […]
