Five challenges for Coetzee

JON CARDINELLI looks at five issues new Springbok coach Allister Coetzee will need to address in the lead-up to the Test series against Ireland.

Kolisi’s at sixes and sevens

The sooner Siya Kolisi settles at openside flank, the better for the Springboks, writes JON CARDINELLI.

Lions find middle ground

The Lions prevailed over an attack-minded Sharks outfit in round seven thanks to an improved defence and kicking game, writes JON CARDINELLI.

Lions take the lead

The Lions have taken a big step towards securing a home playoff. The Sharks may battle to make the knockout stage from here. JON CARDINELLI reports.

Overseas players benefit Boks

The question is not whether the Springboks need precious input from overseas-based stars, but how many is too many, writes JON CARDINELLI.

Lions break Durban duck

The Lions produced a complete performance to beat the Sharks 24-9 on Saturday and record their first Super Rugby victory at Kings Park. JON CARDINELLI reports.

Stormers hammer Sunwolves

The Stormers scored seven tries in their 46-19 demolition of the Sunwolves at Newlands on Friday night. JON CARDINELLI reports.

Chiefs’ surge sinks Blues

The Chiefs fired in the second half to claim a 29-23 bonus-point victory over the Blues in Hamilton on Friday. JON CARDINELLI reports.

Coetzee key in Durban derby

A clash of styles will be on the cards when the Sharks host the Lions at Kings Park this Saturday, writes JON CARDINELLI.

Stormers must stifle Sunwolves

A youthful Stormers back division will do well to keep the Sunwolves attack in check at Newlands this Friday, writes JON CARDINELLI.
