Springbok scrum-half Fourie du Preez capped a wonderful three days in his career on Monday when named South Africa Rugby Player of the Year.
The South African Rugby Union is to be charged with misconduct for allowing its players and coach to wear white ”justice” armbands.
South Africa’s 2-1 series win over the British and Irish Lions felt as good as the country’s World Cup win in 2007, according to skipper John Smit.
The British and Irish Lions avoided a second successive series whitewash when they produced a spirited display of attacking rugby to beat SA 28-9.
Saturday’s final Test between SA and the British Irish Lions is anything but a ‘dead rubber’ to those involved, despite the series being settled.
