Tri Nations Rugby: July 2010

http://trinationsrugby.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Monday, 19 July 2010. Round 2 result: All Blacks 31-17 Springboks. The All Blacks underlined their recent excellent form with another emphatic win over the Springboks on Saturday. They came out and continued from where they left off in the previous match, playing with confidence, enthusiasm and an intensity that the Springboks just couldn't contain at times. The All Blacks now have a week off, while the Springboks prepare themselves for a must-win encounter with the Wallabies in Brisbane. Replacements: C...

Tri Nations Rugby: August 2009

Wednesday, 26 August 2009. IRB Threatens Springbok World Cup Ban. The IRB has at long last published the findings of the independent review of the Bakkies Botha "Justice 4" incident which took place in the third British Lions test. Quite frankly I find it ridiculous that the IRB could even make such a statement. I very much doubt that they would be able to follow through on the threat even if they wanted to, but in my opinion it is the IRB which has really brought rugby into disrepute. I truly hope this ...

Tri Nations Rugby: October 2011

http://trinationsrugby.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 12 October 2011. A new breed of coach? This is all wrong, say the critics. The coach's job is to lay down the law, and the players should carry out his plan to the best of their ability - even blindly. And let's face it, this is pretty much the traditional role of a coach, particularly in an autocratic society like South Africa. Peter de Villiers may not have been the most technical coach, but I believe he deserves far more credit than he has been given. Who knows, he may just have provide...

Tuesday, 23 June 2009. Tri Nations Travel: what's the deal? Hardly a season goes by without us hearing about how South African teams are at a disadvantage in the Super 14 and Tri Nations rugby. Tournaments because of travel arrangements. But why should this be? After all, both competitions feature a mixture of home and away matches, so at first glance it would appear all even. But this is such a constant refrain that I have to check it out myself, once and for all. Changes in blood pressure and heart rate.
