  • VIDEO: 'We're in the land of physicality now'

    1 week ago | rugby365.com | Jan de Koning

    Connacht arrived in South Africa in a defiant mood, determined to fight fire with fire and keep their trophy hunt alive. In the wake of a heartbreaking (40-43) loss to Racing 92 in a Challenge Cup quarterfinal at the Sportsground this past weekend, they will look to pick up the pieces with a two-match United Rugby Championship tour of the Republic – facing the Stormers in Cape Town this Saturday and the Lions in Johannesburg a weekend later.

  • VIDEO: Stormers get some tall timber back

    1 week ago | rugby365.com | Jan de Koning

    The Stormers will get some serious tall timber back when they start a crucial four-match United Rugby Championship home stretch against Connacht in Cape Town on Saturday. After this Round 15 face-off, they will also host Benetton, Dragons and Cardiff in Cape Town on consecutive Saturdays. Sitting in 10th place on the standings, there is just one point and the three teams directly above them – Benetton, Edinburgh and Cardiff, all on 36 points.

  • One-on-one with Dobbo: Toulouse and the French lessons

    1 week ago | rugby365.com | Jan de Koning

    The Stormers’ Director of Rugby, John Dobson, recently visited the South of France for some ‘personal development’ at French giants Stade Toulousain. The Toulouse-based outfit gave Dobson and his fellow coaches full access to their build-up for the Round of 16 win over Sale Sharks. To ‘learn’ from and see how Europe’s most successful team operates has immense value for the ambitious Cape Town team.

  • Outcome of Zelt's appeal pending, as elections loom

    1 week ago | rugby365.com | Jan de Koning

    NEWS UPDATE: Polemical former Western Province Rugby Football Union President Zelt Marais will know in a matter of days the outcome of his appeal against a 10-year ban. @rugby365com can reveal that the appeal hearing occurred over two days on March 31 and April 1. The appeal committee’s verdict is eagerly being awaited, with no clear indication of when will be delivered.

  • EQUITY LANDSCAPE: Why SA franchises could face 'funding fatigue'

    2 weeks ago | rugby365.com | Jan de Koning

    South Africa has very contrasting equity models – from vanity projects to professional business models. It remains an enigmatic conundrum. However, the possibility of ‘funding fatigue’ is a consummate and profound peril. Lions Rugby Company owner Altmann Allers has already ‘tightened the belt’ and high-profile recruiting at Ellis Park – in the face of well-documented departures – is nonexistent.
