Daar is losvoorspelers met die flair en die opwinding wat hulle meer flambojante broeders in die agterlyn beskore is. Hulle is die Kwagga Smiths en die Bobby Skinstads wat saam met die beste agterspelers kan vastrap en swenk.

Take a bow, Jeandré Rudolph
There are loose forwards blessed with the flair and razzmatazz reserved for their much more flamboyant brothers in the backline. They are the Kwagga Smiths and Bobby Skinstads who can step and swerve with the best of them.

Die swam wat ons brood laat sleg word, funksioneer nie op sy eie nie. Daar is gaste diep binne-in sy selle – bakterieë – waarmee dit ’n wedersyds voordelige verhouding het wat vir mense goed of sleg kan wees. Om hierdie verhouding te verstaan en dit te modifiseer, kan ’n geweldige impak op die voedsel-, mediese en landboubedryf hê. Dit is die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-researcher-collaborates-international-fungi-study
