Bob Skinstad, one of the most recognisable faces in world rugby, has joined the SuperSport.com team and will be informing and entertaining readers with his views, video clips, pictures and live chats.
Bob played 42 times for the Springboks, and played Super 10, 12 and 14 rugby for three franchise teams - the Stormers, Cats and Sharks. He played Currie Cup for Western Province, who won the title three times on his watch.
After a stint in the UK that involved more work than play, Bob capped off a successful comeback to rugby in South Africa with victory at the 2007 RWC, and although he wasn’t a starting XV player, it was still an incredible experience for him.
Bob is an entrepreneur with various interests and a part of the broadcast team at SuperSport. He likes innovative business, which is why he is a perfect fit for new media, and likes to relax by fishing, surfing and raising his family.s

Chiefs to spread the ball and smash John Robbie’s home [...]
The best news is – the players are playing in the best climate – the not so good news over the last two years or so, is that we have allowed the destructive, slowing down, slow ruck and innefective maul dominated game to emerge.
