THE MOST IMPORTANT THING PAT LAMBIE EVER WORE

There is a photograph that stops you cold. Pat Lambie, mid-roar, fist clenched, green jersey blazing under the Kings Park floodlights. October 8, 2016. South Africa versus New Zealand. The Rugby Championship. He looks like a man at the height of his powers โ€” and in a sense, he was. But what the image doesn't show is what had already happened to him just four months...

GEORGE KUSCHE: THE MILER WHO REWROTE COMRADES HISTORY AND ANNOUNCED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD

George Kusche crossed the line outside Hollywoodbets Scottsville Racecourse in Pietermaritzburg with his arms doing more talking than his legs had any right to after 85.77 kilometres. The clock read 5:15:56. Nobody in the history of the Comrades Marathon had ever run the Up Run faster. He didn't just win. He demolished an 18-year-old record. Leonid Shvetsov's mark of 5:24:49, set back in 2008, had stood...

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUANE VERMEULEN ๐ŸŽ‚ THE LEADER WHO NEVER NEEDED THE ARMBAND

There are rugby players who need the captainโ€™s armband to lead. And then there are those who lead anyway, armband or not. Duane Vermeulen belongs firmly in the second category. 

Born on this very day, 3 July 1986, in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, he turns 40 today. And what a journey it has been.

Happy Birthday, Duane. The Springboks won two World Cups with him doing the heaviest lifting, often quietly, and rarely for the cameras.

  • HOW KTM'S BANKRUPTCY BROKE BRAD BINDER'S MOTOGP CAREER ๐Ÿ๏ธ

KTM went bankrupt in November 2024. Three billion euros in debt, insolvency proceedings, a company fighting for survival. 

To stay afloat, KTM's MotoGP bosses froze all further development of the RC16, locking the bike in place through the winter while every rival on the grid kept evolving theirs. 

That decision, made in a boardroom to protect a balance sheet, is the real starting point of Brad Binder's slide down the standings.

There are scrumhalves who get handed a career. Ivan van Zyl is one of those who went out and built one, brick by brick, in a country that wasnโ€™t his own. Born on this very day, 30 June 1995, in Pretoria, he turns 31 today.

Happy Birthday, Ivan. The man who found out that a closed door at home can open into a whole new world abroad.

The Springboks have named their side, and the world champions are starting the 2026 season with a heavyweight one. 

Rassie Erasmus has reached for experience and proven combinations to open the inaugural Nations Championship against England at Ellis Park this Saturday, with Siya Kolisi leading the side for the 72nd time.

โœ๏ธ JAY | JPS SAYS: "This is a statement team. Rassie could have rotated for a brand-new competition, but he's picked his most trusted men to lay down a marker. When you see this 23 run out at Ellis Park, you're looking at world champions who mean business."

This is the first Springbok team of the year, and it carries serious firepower from one to 23. Here's who Erasmus is sending out.
