Bob Skinstad, The Character Formerly Known As The Loose Forward, finally got back to me on the eve of my departure to Los Angeles. You see, I arrive there on the first weekend of the Tri Nations (that SA are playing) and wouldn’t know WHERE to start, in terms of finding a venue to watch. […]
Some folk seem a bit unhappy with Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers. So much so that moments like this are being highlighted.. Peter de Villers – ASOL I see what you did there. Good. [thanks ilan]
I see the British Lions went for a little shop around Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront yesterday and popped into the legendary Pumastore. Martyn Williams and Gordon D’Arcy Not shy to get their kit off.

If you had told me that the Irish Rugby Football team would be on board il Mostro , I would have told you that you were dreamin’. If you had to tell me that they even had a special green Irish spinnaker on board, I’d have you certified. Pretty cool looking vibe, I must say: […]
This happened a few days ago but I was ASTOUNDED yesterday to learn that some people were not aware. Well look alive people, because silver fox and 2oceansvibe character The Outside Centre (Rob Fleck) has been made the new backline coach for Western Province. “The Outside Centre” – Rob Fleck. A bona-fide beaut. […]

God knows what the future of Twitter holds for all of us! A stunningly cheesy recent shoot for Best Life […]
As predicted, this last weekend’s Cape Town Tens was a runaway success, with 10/10 scores from anyone that matters. The tournament has been accepted on the world stage and is pipped to become bigger than the Hong Kong Sevens within the next two years. www.capetowntens.com The facilitation of recreational boozing was apparent, as everyone went […]
Yes, you heard me, the greatest rugby player in the world, All Black flyhalf and living God, Dan Carter is in the house! This will be great news for girls and boys alike. As you know, it is perfectly acceptable, as a straight man, to have a man crush on Dan Carter. That is the […]
I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more. Especially when I saw Roxy Louw arrive with Hollywood superstar, Christopher Walken. “I got this watch..” Ok, it wasn’t Christopher Walken, it was actually ex-Springbok, Rob […]
A few weeks ago we featured the mock Parks-Board Bokkie signs that some very funny individuals had professionally made and placed around Cape Town. Needless to say, they saw the mention on 2oceansvibe and emailed me today to tell me about their latest over-the-top statement. This time it’s an online game which let’s you control […]
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]
Whilst Martin Johnson is probably still reeling from the pounding he got on Saturday, it seems rugby in England has managed to excel in other forms. Remember in August when I told you about the inaugural Rugby Expo? Ja, well it happened – and it was a RAGING success by all accounts. With […]
I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys). He mentioned something about the post match interview with and something about a vindictive little journalist. I searched for it on the “internet” but it was too soon after the event to find anything. Naturally […]
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]
I see the topic of Luke Watson’s September 2006 Sports Illustrated quote coming up more and more. You know the one: “Playing for the Boks would be a great honour. It has the potential and it has the ability to become one of the most powerful emblems this world has seen. It stands for […]
This is quite brilliant. You’ll remember this image was/is used in advertisements and on the streets to create awareness with regards to mountain fires and the resulting danger to animals, with the caption usually being a quote from a tearful “BOKKIE,” saying, “Look what you’re doing!” with a dramatic fire in the background. Well someone […]
It’s extreme from the North Pole to the fields and streets of South Africa this week on Luv Sport, SA’s number 1 multi-sport magazine show, Friday night, 21h10 on Supersport 1 (channel 201).

In his own special way, Dan Nicholl (The Celebrity MC) has managed to secure another high profile “interview ” – this time with Luke Watson. This, Dan’s latest: Luke Watson ‘exclusive’Article By: Dan Nicholl Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:03 On the back of his controversial statements on the state of South African rugby, […]
I’m not sure if one would want a show to be any different to Luv Sport on Friday night on SuperSport1 at 21h10! The organisers and a NUMBER of the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue models will be with Bob Skinstad in the studio to discuss the launch. Here is a taste of what we’re […]
What is this new vomit trend that is sweeping the nation? It started last week when the press printed Luke Watson’s alleged comments regarding the Springbok Emblem – “Me having to wear the Springbok jersey, to keep myself from vomiting on it, because there is a bigger picture, because men and women have bled for […]
It’s happening again! They’re fighting to get rid of the Springbok emblem. This, on the first of a two-day “National Sports Indaba” held in Deben. My God, they are a tiresome lot. Hello bokkie! This, load of crap, from iol.co.za: Rugby’s corporate sponsors and its hallowed symbol the Springbok came under fire […]

I doubted very much that this would entertain me. But, hey, look at me – I’m on the floor! It’s a follow up to the story in recent press about Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers being involved in a sex tape blackmail situation. Well done to the guys that put this together. They didn’t get […]
A buddy of mine directed me to some pretty cool videos of the Springbok rugby team taking on the SA Wheelchair Basketball side. Obviously the Boks got DRILLED! They can be found on the SA Paralympic Team’s website, which also includes info on all our Athletes, Fan mail, Photo Galleries, Schedules, Videos and News. Check […]
I think these shots are pretty self explanatory. The whole team got Monty wigs and went through a formal squad photo shoot – with the wigs on. Quality humour. Monty is not wearing a wig – his is real. You get the concept, right? It looks great on HIM! No ways! Check how funny […]
Those like-minded people out there will understand the enormity of genuine, well formed networks. Doing business through people you can trust, immediately takes it to the next level. More gets done and more money gets made. It breaks down barriers, you could say. If you didn’t realise what was going on at 2oceansvibe then you’ve […]
I received contact today from the people’s Springbok, AJ Venter. It seems that, whilst AJ is yet to have his moment with the TBG, he does somehow feel connected to the great man. I won’t say anymore. The beauty of AJ is you DON’T have to say anymore. He does it all himself. He gift […]
