Preview: Bulls vs Sharks

JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE analyse the big Vodacom Super Rugby game at Loftus Versfeld.

De Villiers deserves better

Jean de Villiers will win his 100th Super Rugby cap on Friday, but getting him through to the World Cup in one piece seems unlikely, writes RYAN VREDE.

Jake can fix Frans

Jake White has the potential to bring out the best in Frans Steyn once again, writes RYAN VREDE.

Expansion into mega mediocrity

Increasingly the decision to expand Vodacom Super Rugby in 2016 is looking like a decision to grow an enormous mediocre monster, writes RYAN VREDE. 

White’s influence key in Kanko’s rise

Jake White has backed South Africa's forgotten man Ryan Kankowski, and that combination could prove to be the inspiration for his Springbok return, writes RYAN VREDE. 

SA coaching on brink of crisis

The quality of the South African franchise coaches is in question to a degree it hasn't been for some time and it will have an adverse effect on the health of our rugby, writes RYAN VREDE. 

Offensive asset

The Stormers and Springboks hope Jaco Taute’s second coming brings with it the attacking weaponry that can shape their seasons, writes RYAN VREDE.
