Junior Boks shuffle team for big England clash

The Junior Springbok team to face England on Tuesday at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town in a vital Pool C match of the World Rugby Under-20 Championship, show several changes from the line-up that faced Argentina.

Du Toit: “We want win both Tests”

Springbok flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit relished the occasion of facing Ireland on home soil for the first time since 2016 at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, but agreed with Rassie Erasmus (coach) there were areas they had to work when they return to the training field on Monday.

Queens break Women’s Premier Division duck

The EP Queens secured their first win of the SA Rugby Women’s Premier Division season on Saturday, while there Sanlam Boland Dames and DHL Western Province recorded good victories in their round eleven fixtures.

Boks do the business against Ireland in Pretoria

The Springboks won a pulsating and drama-filled Test by 27-20 against Ireland at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria to go one-nil up in the Castle Lager Incoming Series, a match that will be talked about for a while by all of the 50,066 spectators in attendance.

Job done, but far from perfect, says Erasmus

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus let out a sigh of relief following the Springboks’ hard-fought 27-20 (halftime 13-8) victory over Ireland at Loftus Versfeld in the first of two Tests in the Castle Lager Incoming Series.

Midfield record in unchanged Bok side for Durban

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus named the most experienced team in Springbok history when he retained the same 23-man matchday squad to the one which defeated Ireland 27-20 in their opening Castle Lager Incoming Series match in Pretoria last week for the second Test at Hollywoodbets Kings Park in Durban on Saturday.

Courageous Junior Boks pipped by England

The Junior Springboks delivered a much-improved performance in their final pool match of the World Rugby U20 Championship, but just came up short against England, going down by 17-12 in cold, wet and windy conditions in Cape Town on Tuesday night.

Springbok Sevens squad named for 2024 Olympics

Six players with previous Olympic Games experience, including 2016 bronze medalist Rosko Specman, have been included in the 14-man Springbok Sevens squad for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Junior Boks must forge ahead despite England loss

The Junior Springboks do not want to be defined by their defeats to England and Argentina in the pool phase of the World Rugby U20 Championship, and that's why they will continue to give it their all in their remaining two matches, according to head coach Bafana Nhleko.

'Doogz' focused on getting the job done in Durbs

Springbok centre Damian de Allende, who will set the new SA record as the most capped centre pairing with Jesse Kriel, said the record had no significance for him going into the series decider against Ireland in Durban on Saturday, but that his focus was rather on securing a victory.
