Eeek! We are a little behind with coverage of Superbru Super Rugby. Last weekend had many games that were tough to predict and this weekend could also cough up a few surprises.
The topic of good leadership comes up on this blog from time to time. When looking at the sad state of affairs on our SB leaderboard, clearly it has no application here. The qualities associated with a good leader are nowhere to be found. …
Pundits have been saying ever since last year that Outeniqua from George is going to make a strong challenge for the unofficial title of best team in South Africa come 2013. The Kwaggas have 12 returning 1st XV players from the team that claimed a top 5 finish in 2012. …
Glenwood and Garsfontein have both had to deal with off the field pre-season dramas involving schools from their respective regions this year. With those matters now put to bed all the attention will be placed firmly back where it belongs: on the field of play. The two schools will meet in the main game on Thursday, 21 March 2013 being Day-1 of this year’s NWU-Pukke Skouspel being held in Potchefstroom.

Supporters got to witness schoolboy rugby at it’s very best in a thrilling match won 26-25 by Kearsney against Glenwood. The match had been billed as one of the biggest games of the KwaZulu-Natal season and it lived up to expectations in every way with the lead changing hands before the winning try was scored by Kearsney virtually at the death.…

There should be two very good games on in the Young Guns competition today. Tuks takes on the Pukke in a battle for top spot in their pool. The Ikeys Trojans and UJ are both after that very important second place in the Steinhoff pool. With the top two teams from each pool qualifying for the semi-finals, it is everything to play for. The Shimlas from UFS should comfortably beat Wits in today’s other game, meaning that the loser of Tuks versus Pukke will find themselves relegated to third in the pool after today’s round.…
09-Mar-13. Kearsney illustrated the importance of teamwork and a balanced approach as they systematically built up a 30-0 lead over 70-minutes against their hosts Northwood. Tries were scored by captain Matt Reece-Edwards, Thuthu Ndlovu and Mthokozisi Moloi and backed up with 15-points from the reliable boot of Tristan Tedder.…
09-Mar-13. Hosts George Campbell scraped home 10-7 against St Charles in a new fixture. It’s excellent that the two schools are competing again because past indications suggested that they are more or less on par in rugby. This match proved it. A very even contest just as the scoreline suggests with both teams enjoying periods of domination. …

Congratulations must go to the KZNRU for putting on a successful and very entertaining festival at Kings Park. It was well attended and the boys lived up to the billing by playing attractive early season rugby. It seems pointless over-analysing the results because of the format (2 halves of 20 minutes) and the differing motives of the various coaches coming into the games.…
