The points were the difference for the Bokke — and our superest of Bru’s. I wouldn’t have wanted to be a brandy in London this weekend as the Bokke got the job done at Twickersfontein. Could step you in a shoebox, sure, but maybe it’s time for some rest? We rate the teams’ performances in the Championship and look ahead to the end-of-year tour and all the action still to come.

Plenty of fireworks in Durban, plenty of ice packs after. The physios were busier than the scoreboard, Ronnie reckons we’re running out of ankles as we head into the final round of the Championship. Eden Park stayed locked up, Pantoffel got the big 150 and the URC came back with a bang. The Bokke made a big statement, Can this team be the first to go back-to-back?

From Rassie’s roulette wheel of selections to the table that’s still anyone’s game. The only thing we can say for sure is ek weet nie. With 2 rounds to play, the Boks face Los Pumas in a clash that could shape the title race, predicting what comes next feels impossible. We celebrate the Griquas, look ahead to a stacked URC & the Women's World Cup Final.

The Boks put the W in Wellington, with Damian Willemse turning in a career performance, Manie and Siya shutting down the noise, and Rassie sneaking a Hooker onto the wing. Meanwhile in Sydney, Los Pumas held off a late Wallaby surge, but somehow it’s Australia sitting top of the log. From Wellington to Sydney, A weekend that left fans buzzing, coaches scratching heads, and the log wide open.

No easy wins, no freebies, and plenty of HIAs. The Boks have hit shuffle on the match 23 after the Auckland slip, but shaken? Not a chance. With new combinations set to be tested, all eyes are on how the green & gold bounce back. Meanwhile, Wilson chose courage over comfort, and with that one decision, the days of making up the numbers are over for the Wallabies.

It’s one win each after the first two rounds of the Rugby Champs, Superbru picks are in tatters, and the tournament is wide open. No second-half déjà vu for the Boks in the Cape, while the All Blacks will want to forget theirs as Los Pumas finally shook the monkey off their back. And as for the Wallabies? Write them off at your peril.

It was not a weekend for us and our fellow South Africans. not one Wallaby got tied down in Joburg mate. the Rgby Champs got underway and didn’t skip a beat. we take a look at where the Bokke can improve, the Aussies showing that history means nothing, the All Blacks breaking hearts in Argentina, and the consistently inconsistent Los Pumas.

Die Blou Bull weet nie van??? Heading home empty-handed again... 3 URC finals, 3 L’s, and not even a line break to brag about. Nienaber’s Leinster defence shut the gates, and the Blue Bulls are, well... feeling blue. Bath end a 29-year drought in style (cheers, Johan van Graan), and the Boks trim the squad to 45 as the international season looms. We break it all down and look ahead to what’s next for the men in green and gold.
