The Springbok Women will TODAY take up the mantle for South African Rugby when they take on France in the Women's Rugby World Cup tournament in Northampton, England . This after the Springboks suffered a 24-17 defeat to the All Blacks at Eden Park yesterday. Coach Rassie Erasmus has admitted his team were the architects of their own downfall and hinted at changes ahead of next weekend's must-win clash in Wellington.The Springbok Women, still celebrating their first-ever World Cup quarter-final qualification following a stunning win over Italy, face a formidable French squad, a side experts say boasts the experience and firepower to punish any lapse.

Has Zurich shown the way forward for field events? We unpack whether this model can help the field events and thus sport grow, celebrate new stars and seasoned champions. We discuss how moving the World Championships to the season's end poses unique challenges for athletes, and stretches the physiological peak many can sustain. We look ahead to epic clashes, where new favourites have emerged and old stars have shown form at just the right time.From track to turf, we turn to rugby and the doping case of Asenathi Ntlabakanye. The South African prop has been provisionally suspended after a positive test for a substance SA Rugby has said was not performance-enhancing and was medically prescribed. Ross and Gareth explore what this may mean, and the broader grey areas that challenge athlete rights and fairness in sport.Then in Center Stage (53:34), the Women's Rugby World Cup takes the spotlight. The tournament is off to a fantastic start, breaking records and continuing its growth. But Ross explains why wide performance gaps between rugby's juggernauts and minnows could threaten the game's continued long-term prospects, and how targeted investment will be key to keeping the sport competitive and fair.In Ross Replies (1:09:42), Stu asks whether women experience head injuries differently from men? Ross explains that the answer is "it depends", a variation of yes and what this means for preventing head injury in women. And Finally (1:18:39), Mike asked for insight on whether children should be taught to tackle when learning rugby, and we discuss why the answer is a cautious, and qualified "yes", with some evidence and a cautionary tale about how the speed with which we introduce risk is the key.LinksStory on Ntlabakanye's doping positive and SARU's statementThe NCAA team that lost a title because of caffeineAs discussed re the NCAA, the London Marathon death attributed to a stimulant in a weight loss supplementStu's question and discussion about head injury mechanisms in women's rugby: Discourse members onlyRoss' paper describing head injury mechanisms in elite womenThe paper that documents head accelerations in players aged 13 to adult Hosted on Acast.

Springbok prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye has been ruled out of the tour after testing positive for a banned substance. He disputes the finding, while SA Rugby insists the substance is non-performance enhancing and was taken under medical supervision. The case raises questions about how anti-doping rules are applied and what it means for players and the game. Sports scientist Dr Ross Tucker speaks to John Maytham.

Die Springbok-vleuel Cheslin Kolbe is by die SA Rugby-toekenningsgeleentheid aangewys as mansspeler van die jaar en is die eerste agterlynspeler sedert 2013 wat die gesogte titel ontvang. Nadine Roos is aangewys as vrouespeler van die jaar. Die Bok-losskakel, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, is die jong speler van die jaar terwyl die Blitsbok, Selvyn Davids, die Sewes-speler van die jaar is. Die Springbokke en Rassie Erasmus is onderskeidelik span en afrigter van die jaar. Kolbe sê die toekenning was onverwags:

‘To the Last Drop' is back for 2025! Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme kick off the year by breaking down South Africa's early Champions Cup exit and looking ahead to an action-packed weekend in the URC. The spotlight is on the Jukskei Derby, where the Lions and Bulls are set to clash at Ellis Park. Helping us preview the big game is Lions front-row giant Asenathi Ntlabakanye, who shares his rugby journey, what drives him to succeed, and a surprising “what-if” about where he could have ended up instead of on the field. And of course, Brenden and Liam drop their predictions for this weekend's URC battles. Tune in for insight, banter, and plenty of rugby talk to kick off the year!

Rugby: Die voormalige hoofafrigter van die Junior Springbok Vrouespan, Laurian Johannes-Haupt, is nou voltyds by SA Rugby as die Springbok Vroue se hulpafrigter. Sy is die eerste voltydse vroue-rugbyafrigter wat by 'n nasionale span in die organisasie betrokke is. Die 40-jarige het die Springbok Vrouespan by die 2010 Rugby Wêreldbeker verteenwoordig en in 12 toetse gespeel voordat sy in 2014 uitgetree het. Johannes-Haupt sê sy is gretig om die vrouespel verder te laat groei, en meen sy sal dit nou makliker kan doen.

Apart from the resumption of long tours from the All Blacks, South African rugby fans can also look forward to the NZ Māori visiting these shores in the not-too-distant future. South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander explained a multi-layered approach in the strengthening of their bond with New Zealand Rugby which includes visits from the Māori and the Silver Ferns. On the 'To The Last Drop' podcast Alexander also reiterated the need to broker a global season, a long-held ambition that he will help drive as a World Rugby council member. He also assured podcast hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel that there is life in Springbok rugby after Rassie Erasmus.

Die SAKP herbesin sy vennootskap met die ANC en Cosatu by sy spesiale kongres. Kleinhandelverkope van klere, meubels en skoene neem toe. SA Rugby wil die 2030 Wêreldbekertoernooi in Suid-Afrika aanbied.

Well-known South African technology entrepreneur Stafford Masie is one of the key backers behind an audacious bid to buy a stake of up to 40% in the South African Rugby Union (Saru)-owned entity that owns the commercial rights to the Springboks brand. Masie, who chairs JSE-listed Altvest Capital – a key player in the consortium making the bid – joins the TechCentral Show with Altvest CEO Warren Wheatley to unpack the plan and what spurred it, and to explain why tech is central to the bid. The bid comes after member unions of SA Rugby last week rejected a plan to sell a 20% in the commercial rightsholder to US-based Ackerley Sports Group for US$75-million. Ackerley has until the end of the year to submit a revised offer, but Wheatley and Masie told TechCentral that they do not expect a deal with the American firm will succeed. The South African consortium is made up of Altvest as well as EasyEquities, RainFin and 27four Investment Managers. In a statement, the consortium explained that if its bid is successful, it will list the special purpose vehicle that has been created to do the deal on the JSE and allow investors to buy shares. This is not dissimilar to Altvest's business model, which sees it taking stakes in companies on behalf of public shareholders who participate in the economic benefits thereof. “Worth thinking about for the tech community is that our platform allows for ‘crowdfunding' in a regulated environment that allows for participation in a funding round to anybody with disposable income – from first-time users or customers, all the way through to regulated institutions and pension funds,” Wheatley explained. In this episode of TCS, Masie and Wheatley unpack: • The background to their consortium's Springboks bid – and why the consortium members came together; • How the bidders will work with SA Rugby to commercialise the rights, assuming their bid is successful; • How the deal could affect broadcast partners; and • Why they believe the deal could be used as a platform for technology innovation in South Africa. It's an interesting discussion – don't miss it! TechCentral

Having last week failed in their bid, South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander has reiterated the need to find an equity partner on the 'To The Last Drop' podcast. He acknowledged time is of the essence as the local game needs an injection of cash but also equity partners that can help grow and sustain the game. Despite keen local interest, Alexander insists SA Rugby needs an equity partner with the expertise to monetise and build the Springbok brand globally.

Two companies whose goal is to democratise ownership of assets have combined as members of a consortium that is offering SA Rugby an alternative to the highly contested Ackerly Sports proposal to acquire management control and 20% of the Springbok brand for $75m. BizNews editor Alec Hogg gets the inside track from AltVest's Warren Wheatley and Charles Savage of Easy Equities on how they will make it possible to invest in Springbok Rugby from just R1.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Rugby-unie gaan die parlementêre portefeuljekomitee oor Sport, Kuns en Kultuur volgende week toespreek oor 'n voorgestelde ooreenkoms om 'n aandeel van die Springbok-kommersiële regte te verkoop aan die Amerikaanse maatskappy Ackerley Sports Group. Die president van SA Rugby, Mark Alexander, sê hulle wil 'n volhoubare ooreenkoms aangaan deur hulle waardevoorstel, wat langtermyn voordele vir Suid-Afrikaanse rugby inhou terwyl die integriteit daarvan behou word.

SA Rugby chief executive Rian Oberholzer is in the hot seat on the latest edition of To The Last Drop. Presenters Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme fired wide ranging questions at the veteran rugby administrator, in particular SA Rugby's much publicised proposed equity deal with the Ackerley Sports Group (ASG). Oberholzer reaffirmed SA Rugby's need to enter an equity agreement and he explained why ASG was their preferred bidder. Oberholzer also laid bare what SA's competition structure might look like if all the balls in the air fall into place and why the country can't afford to only have four professional teams. Brenden and Liam also reflect on the last weekend of URC action before the competition went into recess.

Zelt Marais, president of Western Province Rugby, has raised concerns about financial mismanagement in South African rugby. In an interview, he criticized SARU's undervalued equity deal and lack of transparency, while calling for government intervention to protect community clubs and ensure the sport's sustainable future.

In this episode of NewsWrap, Jakkie Cilliers, Chairman of the Institute of Security Studies and globally renowned futurist, says South Africa needs to stop being played by its BRICS counterparts, Russia and China; WeBuyCars co-founder and Chief Executive Faan van der Walt discusses the company's financial results for 2024 and growth outlook, following their listing on the JSE in April this year; Denker Capital Director Kokkie Kooyman shares insights into the crisis-stricken wealth-management firm Sasfin, and the origins of their poor full-year results; and deposed Western Province Rugby Football Union president Zelt Marais on the controversial $75 Million deal between SA Rugby and the Ackerley Sports Group.
