Sport has a remarkable ability to turn family journeys into history. Wallace and Amarante Sititi will represent the All Blacks and Black Ferns against South African opposition on the same day at FNB Stadium, 28 years after siblings Annaleah and Xavier Rush achieved the feat. It is a compelling reminder that elite sport is built on talent, sacrifice, family support and generations of inspiration.
Apparently everyone is a scrum coach now. Daan Human has noticed. “It looks like every second guy is becoming a scrum coach now.” Then came the serious bit: “If you say we’re walking around, then we’ve been walking around for the past six years.”
The Boks’ scrum war has officially become rugby’s favourite courtroom drama.
Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry is about to take an extraordinary detour: from the cauldron of Soweto to a 12-hour flight across the Atlantic, with the Springboks and All Blacks travelling together towards an American showdown. Springbok…
Kurt-Lee Arendse is back in the Springbok starting XV for Saturday’s third Test against the All Blacks at FNB Stadium. His return is one of the most intriguing selection calls in Rassie Erasmus’ latest team. Arendse was unlucky to miss the Cape Town Test after Cheslin Kolbe recovered from injury. Now the roles have shifted: Kolbe moves to fullback following Damian Willemse’s injury, while Arendse returns to the wing.
The Springboks have momentum, but Cheslin Kolbe knows the All Blacks are wounded and dangerous. After South Africa’s 33-26 victory in Cape Town, Kolbe warned that New Zealand will return to the Highveld with a point to prove. The series has entered its danger zone.
The Springboks have levelled Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry at 1-1 after a gripping 33-26 victory over the All Blacks in Cape Town. But the fireworks continued after the final whistle, with Rassie Erasmus rejecting New Zealand’s scrum accusations and Dave Rennie promising more feedback to World Rugby.
Siya Kolisi has fought through injuries, dark moments and doubt before. Now the Springbok captain is back for another heavyweight encounter with the All Blacks. His message ahead of Saturday’s Cape Town showdown is simple: play the game in front of you and embrace whatever comes next.
The Springboks’ must-win Cape Town Test has been hit by a fresh injury cloud. Handré Pollard is reportedly set to miss Saturday’s clash with the All Blacks because of a calf injury. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu or Manie Libbok could take over at flyhalf as the Boks attempt to recover from their 33-16 Ellis Park defeat.
JOHANNESBURG – Siya Kolisi has cleared the final fitness hurdle and will captain the Springboks against the All Blacks at DHL Stadium on Saturday, adding another heavyweight chapter to Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry. Rassie Erasmus confirmed…
A powerful reminder from Ellis Park that territory and physical dominance mean little without clinical execution.
The All Blacks beat the Springboks 33-16, scoring five tries to one and exposing South Africa’s struggles in converting sustained pressure into points. The series now moves to Cape Town, with the Boks needing greater attacking precision and composure in the opposition 22.
