By Just For Kicks, on 25 May 2012, at 9:00 am

For better or worse, the Pieter de Villiers era has come to an end. Many felt at the time of his appointment that Heyneke Meyer was the best candidate, and now four years later he will get his opportunity to prove them wrong.

Div – SARU too late with decision

By superBul, on 20 January 2012, at 2:28 am

Not much that Peter de Villiers says in this Article can be disputed. He had a hard task to guide Jake White’s glory boys. With the massive amount of senior player power and his introduction to the coaching job, he was always on the receiving end. Yes, he was not the best technical coach but he kept the politicians off our backs and the team together.

Good luck to the next coach!

It is my impression that politcs will play a major role again and if the new coach is not from the previously disadvantaged group, his task will be most difficult.

Enough opinionating, here is the actual Article: [Read More]

A year of ifs, buts and maybes for the Boks

By Just For Kicks, on 23 December 2011, at 3:19 pm

What a year of would-haves, could-haves, should-haves and, ultimately, bitter underachievement for the Springboks in a year when the All Blacks enjoyed the delicious irony of at last winning the World Cup despite being outplayed in the final. After 26 years of being the best team on the planet but failing to land the Webb Ellis Cup because of the wicked vagaries of death-or-glory rugby, the wheel finally turned for the Kiwis at the global showpiece.

Smal sounds like a reasonable deal

By Just For Kicks, on 15 December 2011, at 8:28 pm

Four years ago, the SA Rugby bosses did the right thing morally by appointing Peter de Villiers as the first black Springbok coach. Next month they will hopefully do the right thing again. This time by picking the best man for the Bok job – doesn’t matter if he is white, caramel, black, or something in-between.

My annual letter to the Bearded Bloke up North

By Just For Kicks, on 12 December 2011, at 6:48 pm

Dear Santa,

Well, another year has nearly come and gone since you last heard from me, and as you know, I am not usually one to complain about what you send down my chimney, but, I was hoping that this year we could perhaps re-look at my list a little closer.

Matfield on Bekker, Brycie, Heyneke and the rest
