The Springbok captain, post-Adriaan Strauss, must be a first-choice player whose selection is never disputed, writes MARK KEOHANE.

Goosen’s attack-minded

Johan Goosen’s return provided the Springboks with more attacking and kicking options, writes JON CARDINELLI.

Johan Goosen highlights

The Racing 92 utility back has been named as the best player in the Top 14 for the 2015-16 season in an award nominated by his peers. Check out some of his highlights from this past season.

Stop making excuses

Stop excusing Allister Coetzee’s obvious limitations on his late appointment as Bok coach. Stop excusing every Springbok defeat on referees, weather conditions or the age-old South African retreat that the rugby gods have an issue with the Springboks, writes MARK KEOHANE.

Wake-up call for SA Rugby

Until there are some fundamental changes to the structures and systems in South African rugby, the state of the game will continue to plummet to new lows, writes CRAIG LEWIS.

Coetzee has added nothing

The Springboks’ record defeat to the All Blacks at Kings Park proved that the coaching staff as well as the South African system needs to change sooner rather than later, writes JON CARDINELLI.
