About Ian »

I am a sports nut. I coach Durban Varsity 1st XV Rugby side. I am still an active Rugby referee. The Sharks and the Springboks are the only teams that matter.

I golf, run, follow and play cricket. I love The Arsenal and have a need for speed in F1, Motor GP and SBK. Follow tennis, surfing, boxing, just love it all.

We don't get enough NFL and Ice Hockey (Vikings and the Ducks)

James, well written as always. I ask this question do you recall the 2004 Springboks in Jake White's 2nd year as coach. Young Young Players. Look...
