Rugby ZA Vol 01, Iss 03 "There’s the science of coaching, and then there’s the art. The science of coaching comes from a book, but the art comes with time in the saddle." Volume 1, Number 3 22 August 2018 – Jake White Springboks Will Beat the All Blacks This Year Your correspondent has to admit that the headline above caused a double-take, coming as it does from one of the foremost rugby commentators in South Africa, Mark Keohane. My thought process, as I’m sure yours would be too, went along the lines of: “Hang about, let’s beat Argentina and Australia first before we start dreaming big.” But then this is Mark Keohane we’re talking about, not exactly a shrinking violet when it comes to expressing his opinion about the game we all love. In this case, looks at the player line-ups (particularly the In other, somewhat related news, World Cup winning tight five) and draws heavily upon history – both former Springbok coach. Jake White, himself not recent and long past – to make his argument. averse to sharing his opinions, has bemoaned the depth of local coaching resources. In his column on But while he expects the Boks to beat the All Blacks, All Out Rugby, he wonders how far SA is from having he suggests they may not beat Argentina and a Bok coach who has never coached before. Australia both home and away, thus ceding the overall Rugby Championship title to the All Blacks, White’s thought process was instigated by the alleged again. short-listing of two Springbok greats, Fourie du Preez and Victor Matfield for the vacancy that will arise if You can read the short version of his astounding Bulls coach John Mitchell leaves for England.

There’s the science of coaching, and then there’s the art. The science of coaching comes from a book, but the art comes with time in the saddle.” He has a point. Neither he nor Kitch Christie played the game at the highest level.

Boonzaaier asks telling questions about the loose forward trio and the flyhalf and fullback berths, wonders about the midfield partnership, the tight- head position and expresses concern about backup in the scrumhalf position. These are all extremely pertinent questions for which the coach will have to find answers before the Springboks travel to New Zealand, if he hopes to compete in that fixture.

Currie Cup Off to a Cracking Start All the international rugby around these days may have taken some of the gloss off Currie Cup rugby but, if the opening weekend is anything to go by, it’s far from dead. On Thursday, the Oracle called the opening Pumas v Griquas fixture for the home side at a gallop and so it proved, with a comfortable 42-19 win for the Pumas and five points in the bank – although it must be said that the Griquas came within a whisker of denying their hosts that valuable bonus point. Read a full match report here on Sport24. In Friday evening’s second game the Oracle called the Bulls and was right again. Although looking a little rusty the Cheetahs were in contention until about 15 minutes into the second half and their second yellow card, which came along with a penalty try. The final score was 34-12 and the Bulls returned to Pretoria with 5 points in the bag. You can read a full match report, also from Sport24.

Contrary to popular belief, and according to the laws of the game, the only discretion the referee has under the advantage law is how long to let it go on. Specifically, it states that the advantage “must be clear and real. A mere opportunity to gain an advantage is not sufficient.” Other than that, the referee has a set of strict guidelines they must follow until they are satisfied that sufficient advantage has been gained. Perhaps most interestingly, the law as published is utterly silent on the difference between a scrum advantage and a penalty advantage. That, it would appear, is a distinction that is made elsewhere or, is indeed, at the sole discretion of the referee.

Born in October 1995 in Carletonville, his first provincial representation came during in 2011, when he was selected for the Golden Lions Under-16 side that played at the Grant Khomo Week competition. He also represented the Golden Lions two years later, this time in Under-18 Craven Week, where he appeared in all three of their matches. His performances led to inclusion in the South African Schools side, where he made appearances in the wins against England, France and Wales in August 2013. For the 2014 season, Dweba made the move to Bloemfontein to join the Free State Cheetahs. He remained in the thoughts of the national selectors and was called up into the South Africa Under-20 squad for the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in New Zealand in 2014. Since then he has played for other age-group national teams including the Under-20 team that toured Argentina in May 2015. Upon the team's return, he was named in the final squad for the 2015 World Rugby Under-20 Championship. More recently, he has represented the Cheetahs in the Pro14, the Free State Cheetahs in the Currie Cup and the Free State XV in the Rugby Challenge. Remember the name because the national selectors certainly have not forgotten it. Saturday Night in Mendoza Ok, Ok, it will be Saturday afternoon in Mendoza and Saturday night in South Africa when the return fixture between Los Pumas and the Springboks kicks off.

  • 21 Icons Season Ii South Africa
    21 ICONS SEASON II SOUTH AFRICA MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed until 31 August 2014 at 12h00 (SA) Johannesburg –31 August 2014 - Francois Pienaar: “The power of sport is incredible. It cuts across all colours, all religions, all creeds, all people; it’s got an amazing effect on people.” On 31 August 2014 at 20h27 on SABC 3, 21 ICONS provides a glimpse into the mind of Francois Pienaar, the former Springbok rugby captain who led South Africa to glory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Now in its second season, 21 ICONS shines a spotlight on the country’s most outstanding citizens and masters of society. From renowned leaders to entrepreneurs, from struggle stalwarts to sporting heroes, their determination, humanity and dedication typify what makes this country great. Adrian Steirn, one of the preeminent photographers and filmmakers in South Africa, has captured their spirits in a series that is as intimate as it is compelling. Steirn comments, “I’ve met many people whose stories are incredibly powerful – it’s a true privilege to discover more about the human spirit and share these individuals personal accounts, their positive character traits and their propensity to influence and shape perceptions and transform societal norms for the better, impacting the communities around them.” Each short film is accompanied by a striking black and white portrait of the participants in the series, which appears in a Sunday paper on the same day that the film is flighted. These portraits will be made available for sale at an auction later this year, with all proceeds going to charity.

  • Sport, Politics and Black Athletics in South Africa During the Apartheid Era Sociology Provides an Additional Dynamic Sub-Theme with Strong Contemporary Relevance
    Pieter Labuschagne Professor and Head of SPORT, POLITICS AND BLACK Department, Department ATHLETICS IN SOUTH AFRICA of Political Sciences, University of South Africa. DURING THE APARTHEID ERA: [email protected] A POLITICAL-SOCIOLOGICAL DOI: https://dx.doi.org/ PERSPECTIVE 10.18820/24150509/ JCH41.v2.5 Abstract ISSN 0258-2422 (Print) ISSN 2415-0509 (Online) The article examines the relationship between sport and politics in Journal for South Africa from a political-sociological perspective, with a specific Contemporary History focus on the status of black athletics in apartheid South Africa. The 2016 41(2):82-104 narrower focus aims to outline how white civil society and the National © UV/UFS Party government utilised athletics as a mechanism to enforce the policy of separateness/apartheid in the South African society. In the process, white dominated political structures and centralised political processes were used to dominate and regulate black athletics in South Africa (1894-1976). The structures and dynamics of black athletics were, for more than a century, manipulated and dictated for political and related reasons. The manipulation took place in three broad identifiable periods, namely: 1884-1960 – the period of “informal” segregation, when the national body, provinces and clubs used race as a mechanism to enforce cleavages in society. The second period stretches from 1960- 1976, when the National Party adopted a more assertive direct role to enforce their sports policy. The last period, between 1976 and 1992, signified another direction change, when government stepped back and only set the broader framework for the regulation of athletics in South Africa. In each of the periods, the politics-sport power relationship will be explained in relation to the regulation of black athletics in the country.

  • Sports Report 2019
    Greenside High School Sports highlights and achievements 2019. Greenside High School believes strongly in the Nelson Mandela quote that says: “Sport has the power to change the world; it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to the youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the faces of all types of discrimination. Sport is a game of lovers.” We are truly grateful as a school that our learners are exposed to 13 sporting codes and many see themselves having career opportunities in the respective sporting codes that we offer at our school. Even though we were faced with a few challenges in the year, we have also developed and our perspectives and goals have broadened. We would like to celebrate the achievements of our learners this far in all respective codes. SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMNTS 2019 | s Rugby The focus in every year is to introduce the girls to appropriate technique and develop a safe and competitive environment. They had a very successful league competing with 12 schools and the U16 girls being undefeated in 2019 and our U18 only losing 1 friendly game. Almost all the girls both u16 and u18s were invited to the National Rugby Week trials. Two senior girls unfortunately did not make it in the last trials and three players were chosen for the u18 National Week Team.
