In 2006 my dad and I went to watch the Springboks take on New Zealand at Loftus Versfeld in the Tri Nations. It was my 3rd time at an international rugby test match and the 2nd time I attended a Tri Nations test. Unfortunately South Africa lost the match. New Zealand scored 45 points and ...
The Bulls may have won this year's Super 14 tournament, but they are struggling in the 2010 Currie Cup. They lost against the Sharks 2 weeks ago in Durban and narrowly lost against the Cheetahs yesterday at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria (a game that I attended). The Springboks are not doing well in the Tri-Nations ...

Me and my dad visited this nail-biter of a rugby match at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. As we were enjoying the match I snapped this photo of South African ...
Earlier this year my dad and I attended the Super 14 Semi Final rugby match between the Bulls and the Crusaders at Orlando Stadium in Soweto (on the outskirts of Johannesburg). It was a truly remarkable experience (that I've previously blogged about). My dad and I were seated very close to the field. At one ...
