28 Feb 2013 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Super Rugby is a tough school and over a season it’s not just the form players that will be included in the Bok team. It’s also the players that perform when the going gets tough and can consistently show that they are Springbok material.

16 Aug 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
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.

The Stormers Stumble
08 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As a stormers fan, one can hardly be upset by last Saturday’s shellacking at The hands of New Zealand’s finest. For starters they were so vastly superior in every facet of the game that you could hardly hold it against them.

Typical Aussies. And let me tell you, we’ve been spared the full version (à la rugby league) where eight teams reach the “finals”, as they call it. And some teams get to lose a knock out fixture and continue on – go figure. Click for more..

England Says No To Super Rugby
10 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
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.
