Willie le Roux insists his international career is not yet over. The veteran fullback, speaking at an SA Rugby sponsorship event in Joburg on Thursday, admitted he still feels the pull of the national setup. “You do miss being in the team all the time, especially when you play with them and celebrate the good wins,” he said as quoted by News24. Le Roux earned his 100th cap against Italy in Gqeberha in July, before featuring in the 24-17 loss to the All Blacks at their Eden Park fortress in Auckland two months later – the Boks’ last defeat of…

Wales are in an even more makeshift state. They are without 13 first-choice players who have gone back to their English and French employers, and come into the game as massive underdogs after heavy home defeats to Argentina and the All Blacks, and a narrow…
Yvonne Jegede never wanted to be an actor. There was never a time she sat down to decide that. After graduating from Lagos State University, she strung along with her uncle, Ignis Ekwe, to movie sets. Ignis Ekwe starred in classic Nollywood films like “Everyday People” and others.

At 18, she’d just sit and watch how productions were done behind the scenes. It also became an opportunity to get introduced to some Nollywood stakeholders at the…
