		<description><![CDATA[I was in England last weekend, eagerly looking forward to an afternoon of rugby and banter in the company of my brother, long-time resident there, and our respective sons, one born in England, the other a loyal backer of the Boks.

For us South Africans, there had already been the disappointment of [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Wrapping the Springboks&#8217; squad in cotton wool made a mockery of some of the provincial games and that [...]]]></description>

Dan Retief, SuperRugby

Louis de Villiers, Sport24
Nothing illustrates this better than the humiliating 28-9 defeat the Springboks suffered on Saturday – and [...]]]></description>

Sport24
&#8220;They had more intensity and their win was well-deserved,&#8221; said Smit, and De Villiers added that he was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s tempting to suggest that by wearing white armbands to protest Bakkies Botha’s two- week ban for foul play, the Springboks had things other than a rugby match on their minds here yesterday. 
Simnikiwe Xabanisa, Sunday Times 
But the sadder truth is that John Smit and his men tried, but just weren’t good enough to beat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Springboks were well and truly beaten in Johannesburg. After 10 changes, the off-field antics of their coach, two citings with suspension and then their protest about the &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; suspension of Bakkies Botha, they were a fairly bedraggled lot, playing without cohesion or conviction.

The Lions on the other hand were filled with determination especially [...]]]></description>

Stephen Nell &#8211; Sport24
Springbok lock Bakkies Botha received support from an unexpected source when the British and Irish Lions expressed indignation about his suspension.
Botha was earlier in the week suspended for two weeks after he &#8220;dangerously&#8221; cleared out a ruck and in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This series is anything but settled, there is a lot of personal scores to settle.
Ken Borland &#8211; IOL
Saturday&#8217;s third and final Test between South Africa and the British Irish Lions is anything but a &#8216;dead rubber&#8217; to those involved, despite the series being settled and 17 changes in the two starting teams.
Morne Steyn&#8217;s last-minute, 53-metre [...]]]></description>

JJ Harmse - Sport24
