Mapimpi’s natural talent for rugby
This is wonderful, @simxabanisa.

Wrote something on Kyle Brown, and his wonderful service to SA Rugby's biggest success over the past ten years; the @Blitzboks. Do have a read.
Blitzboks legend Kyle Brown made his mark as a Sevens specialist and never looked back. More players should follow his lead, writes @dawiboon #FreshTake alloutrugby.com/brown-always…

Linda Zondi basically confirming the rumours regarding AB de Villiers' retirement reversal? Still, CSA made the right decision. The timing of this Cricinfo story is very suspect.

When I was still utterly in love with @Arsenal, Reyes was one of those players who made our smooth attack tick. Like watching a painting come to be. Way too young.

Wrote something for @AllOutRugby on schools’ rugby. Have a read!
Rather than fret about the power of the top schools, SA Rugby must invest in their recruiting programs, writes @dawiboon #FreshTake alloutrugby.com/back-big-sch…

Special moment man. Glad you were there.
So back in high school I always had a picture of @TigerWoods winning @TheMasters in ‘97 on my suitcase and pencil case.
For five years straight my English prepared speech was about Golf and Tiger.

With Tiger’s win at the #Masters, it’s time to share one of my favorite pieces of journalism. espn.com/espn/feature/story/…

Tshotsho Mbovane was the most electrifying back in schoolboy rugby when I was matric. Me and my mates revered him. To read this is heartbreaking.
Whoever put a knife through Tshotsho Mbovane – on two separate occasions – in the months before he played the most memorable rugby game of his career must have hated him.

Been rewatching the saga from the start the past week. Beyond excited for this. #StarWars
Wonderful thread on flyhalves.
So I’ve been thinking about writing something about this for a while and finally decided to take the time to do it. Will also unravel it in a @r_Rugbyunion without thread. So here goes:
The different carrying styles of Flyhalves, and how it affects their options and play. 1/lot

Wrote something on the state of paranoia SA'ns get when Damian and Curwin are moved around the backline. It's probably justified.
There's a fine line between playing multiple positions to gain valuable experience, and being lost to a career as a 'utility back', writes @dawiboon #FreshTake alloutrugby.com/make-bosch-w…
