The Junior Springboks utility back was shown a 20-minute red card in the second half of the World Rugby U20 Championship semi-final against England...

  • 🏃‍♀️ ZENÉY GELDENHUYS' SEASON BEST 55.48s HAS HER SURGING BACK INTO FORM 🔥

A week and a half on from Memphis, Zenéy Geldenhuys's form is still the story in South African hurdling. 

Her season's best of 55.48 seconds, clocked at the Ed Murphey Classic in early July, remains the number to beat as she heads into the next stretch of her international season.

The 2026 Carling Currie Cup Premier Division exploded into life with four fiercely contested battles full of comebacks, debut fireworks, and last-gasp heroics.

  • 🇿🇦 JASPER WIESE PUTS IN THE HARD YARDS AS SPRINGBOKS DEMOLISH WALES 43-0 🏉

Four minutes on the clock at Kings Park, and Jasper Wiese was already through the middle of the Welsh defence. 

His brother Cobus had done the damage first, bursting through a couple of tackles to open the door, and Jasper finished the job, barging over for the opening try of a 43-0 rout in Durban.

  • 🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILCO LOUW 🥂

"The prop who kept coming back, from a missed world cup to a starting jersey for the world's number one side"

There are props who scrummage hard for eighty minutes and are forgotten by Monday. And then there are those a national coach names specifically when explaining a selection call. Wilco belongs firmly in the second category. Born on 20 July 1994, in Ceres, in the Western Cape, he turns 32 today.

  • 🇿🇦 SPRINGBOKS, BLITZBOKS AND JUNIOR BOKS ALL REIGN AS BACK-TO-BACK WORLD CHAMPIONS 🏉

South Africa now hold back-to-back world titles at three separate levels of men's rugby at the same time. The Springboks. The Blitzboks. The Junior Boks. 

No other nation in the sport's history has managed that. This is not a coincidence, and it is not a purple patch. It is a dynasty, built layer by layer, and it is still standing.

The Junior Springboks utility back was shown a 20-minute red card in the second half of the World Rugby U20 Championship semi-final against England in Tbilisi on 13 July, upgraded via bunker review for aerial contact with opposite number George Pearson. It capped a bruising afternoon on the disciplinary front for South Africa. 

England flanker Seb Kelly had already been shown a permanent red card of his own in the first half, sent off for a headbutt on Giliomee in a completely separate incident.

Two red cards from two separate incidents, and only one of them should ever have stood.
