Jean Tiedt: Koning van verdediging
Rugby het verander. Dit het ontwikkel. Kyk maar na van die wedstryde in die 70’s, 80’s en vroeë tot middel-90’s. Dit was ’n bietjie van ’n deurmekaarspul, was dit nie? Daar was min struktuur (in elk geval nie soos vandag nie) en dit was meer van ’n skermutseling as ’n kliniese vertoning. Ja, daar was ’n paar asemrowende drieë, maar dit was omdat…https://news.nwu.ac.za/jean-tiedt-king-defence
Jean Tiedt: King of defence
Rugby has changed. It has evolved. Take a look at some of the games in the 70s, 80s and early to mid-90s. They were a bit of a mess, weren’t they? There was little structure (not like nowadays, anyway) and it was more of a scrap than a clinical exhibition. Yes, there were some spectacular tries, but they occurred because defence players relied…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/vernon-paulo-beur-boontoe
Vernon Paulo beur boontoe
Daar is soveel van ’n vasbyter in Vernon Paulo se benadering tot rugby dat dit ’n mens amper bang maak. Dié amper-22-jarige woelgees van ’n haker is op die oorlogspad. Vra maar vir Ikeys se skrumskakel, Asad Moos, wat tydens die Varsitybeker-finaal tussen die Eagles en die Tigers besluit het om die tuisspan se verdediging met ’n fopaangee te toets…https://news.nwu.ac.za/vernon-paulo-clawing-his-way-top
Vernon Paulo is clawing his way to the top
There is a tenacity to Vernon Paulo’s approach to rugby that is, quite frankly, scary. The soon-to-be 22-year-old dynamo of a hooker has an appetite for destruction. Just ask Ikeys scrumhalf Asad Moos who, during the Varsity Cup final between the Eagles and the Tigers, decided to test the home team’s defence with a dummy. He failed. Paulo lined…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-vice-chancellor-reflects-first-year-office

There is nothing precarious about Precious’ future
Precious Mokomele has an infectious laugh. It drifts in and out like a tide. Sometimes it is a gentle cascade, sometimes it is uproarious, emanating from some joyous part within herself where she keeps all the treasures of her happiness. “I laugh a lot,” she confesses, unsurprisingly with a laugh. “My friends tell me I laugh too easily.” What is…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-graduate-age-just-number
