Willie le Roux joined the Springbok centurions club on Saturday and, when you’ve had a career as long as he’s had, it’s only natural to get a little confused about all the teams you’ve represented. Le Roux is the eighth man to play 100 Tests for South Africa, following Eben Etzebeth, Bryan Habana, Victor Matfield, Tendai “The Beast” Mtawarira, John Smit, Jean de Villiers and Percy Montgomery as Bok centurions. After the 45-0 win over Italy, Le Roux received his new cap and blazer and gave a speech, counting on his fingers all the teams he’s played for. Willie le…

Damson Idris walked into “Chicken Shop Date” and, within minutes, had Amelia Dimoldenberg blushing, speechless, and visibly flustered. Not an easy feat for someone known for her stone-faced wit. The “Snowfall” actor and “F1” British-Nigerian star pulled up to the show with a quiet confidence and a maroon bucket of charm. From the moment he sat down across from Amelia, the air shifted. The deadpan queen, known for keeping even the smoothest talkers on their toes, could barely finish her sentences. And who could blame her? Damson was on a roll. Between bites of chicken and dry-witted banter, Amelia asked…
The Springbok Women made a big leap forward with a brave and gutsy performance in their second Test against Canada at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, and, despite a 33-5 scoreline, proved that they are making giant strides in the women’s game at Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape on Saturday, 12 July 2025.

Overall, the South Africans were in the game for much longer than…
Grant Williams admits to nicking Test centurion Willie le Roux’s try during Saturday night’s lashing of Italy at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

The Sharks scrumhalf formed a silky halfback pairing with Manie Libbok and opened the scoring in the eighth minute. ALSO: Rassie seeks contract extension He looked sharp throughout and…
