Marnus Labuschagné een van Aussies se sterspelers in 2023 Wêreldbeker-krieketoorwinning
RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Ja, ons moet toegee, met vier oorwinnings in die Wêreldbeker-rugbytoernooi weet die Springbokke waarvan hulle praat as die ovaalbal ter sprake kom.
Maar die Bokke se vier oorwinnings op die wêreld se voorste sportverhoog lyk maar effe gemiddeld as 'n mens na die krieketspan van Australië se ses wêreldbekeroorwinnings kyk.
Gelukkig is daar vir Suid-Afrikaners 'n mate van troos te vind in die feit dat 'n voormalige Suid-Afrikaner 'n leeue-aandeel gehad het in die Aussies se verspot maklike oorwinning (met ses paaltjies) teen Indië wat vanjaar gasheer vir die toernooi was en vir bykans die duur van die toernooi die gunsteling was om die gesogte wêreldbekertrofee omhoog te hou.

Hie’ kommie Bokke!
RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Met my hand op my hart sing ek saam aan Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika.
Die passie, rou emosie en vasbeslotenheid wat op die Springbokke se gesigte geëts is, voel ek in my eie binneste en wanneer die fluitjie blaas, bruis my eie (groen) bloed deur my are.
Ek was maar net 'n dogtertjie toe Gerhard Viviers my begin meevoer het met sy rugbykommentaar. Gerrie Germishuys, Gerald Bosch, Morné du Plessis, Jan 'Boland' Coetzee en Moaner van Heerden het soos familie gevoel, want hul name het in vele gesprekke in my ouerhuis opgeduik - siende dat ek vier ouer broers gehad het wat feitlik vir rugby gelewe het.
‘Boks ready for Les Bleus
RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Sunday evening, at 20:45 all South African rugby supporters will try to be somewhere where they can watch the Springboks taking on the French.
The quarter final match will kick off at 21:00 at the Stade de France, Saint-Denis. South Africa will not run out against 15 French rugby players, they will come face to face with about 80 000 Les Bleus supporters - a formidable foe. The French pack, and their scrum in particular, has shown their mettle right from the start of the tournament - maybe one of the few that may actually be real competition for the Springbok powerhouse.
