Outeniqua pack weighs 863kg!!!

27 March, 2013 beet 76

It felt like just yesterday when a schoolboy rugby pack of 760kg (95kg per player average) was considered big.

TSRF: the biggest 1st XV rugby festival in South Africa

25 March, 2013 beet 1

Tony Stoops goes to great lengths every year to give something back to the Western Cape school rugby community. He does it  in the form of a meaningful school rugby festival. The 6th annual Tony Stoops Rugby Festival will again be the largest 1st XV rugby festival in South Africa. 33 schools, many of which would otherwise not have had the opportunity to take part in a festival, will compete at Tygerberg High in the Cape.  Together with the hard work and time that goes into putting a huge festival of this nature together, comes the financial requirement. Here Tony is blessed to have African Bank and a few other generous sponsors on board to assist him with covering the costs of this worthwhile initiative. …

Super Rugby Superbru Round 6

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. …
