HONG KONG SEVENS The Hong Kong 7s took on a whole new meaning with the recent announcement that Cape Town would be hosting their own World Rugby 7's tournament at the end of the year. The Cape Town Sevens will join a host of new and iconic venues on the Series circuit – which has already added Sydney and Vancouver to its schedule – with the full line-up of host cities and dates to be confirmed by World Rugby (formerly the IRB) in due course.

Always important to do a recce even if you are the co-founder of the largest Tens Tournament in the world, Bob was part of a delegation who enjoyed meeting sporting and business associates alike and taking in the lights and sounds of Hong Kong and picking up on the heartbeat of the Sevens Tournament.

Stand by Cape Town, it’s going to be big… very big!

‘Underwater’ sharks in Gansbaai were recently treated to a show and a half! Up in the cage ahead of them were Marc Lottering, Bob Skinstad, Mark McChlery, Andre Coetzer and Dan Nicholl. A fine and meaty line up!

www.base4.co.za helicopter to the dive. It was then a flight over to the gorgeous Creation Wine Farm in the picturesque Hemel en Aarde Valley for an exceptional food and wine pairing with owner Carolyn Martin.

After much splashing, yelps and “whoa did you see that” the brave contingent stepped back up on board the private www.sharkwatchsa.com charter looking every bit of the shark cage diver in their super slim wetsuits and goggles. Marc’s hair remained unfazed by the escapade!

Sharp business executives were hosted on the day and in farewell said that “no words” could express the superb day that it was!

An earlier challenge from Dan Nicholl to accompany him for a shark cage dive for an insert on the newly launched www.thedannichollshow.co.za saw the Overstrand ambassador, Bob Skinstad, take up the challenge and arranged for the small group to fly out over the magnificent Overstrand region with a

Think those sharks are still laughing……

Very little comes back from tour in the form of stories, which are probably best left on tour, but there are the photos which clearly show a time of strong friendships, high spirits, team building, high spirits, striking strip, high spirits, a hint of fine meetings and ….high spirits.

HOOLIGANS AND GENTLEMEN ON A JOURNEY TO THE RUGBY WORLD CUP A Tongue-in-cheek Talk on the Little Known History of Rugby ~ by Bob Skinstad “RUGBY IS A HOOLIGANS SPORT PLAYED BY GENTLEMEN� ~ WINSTON CHURCHILL

Was William Webb Ellis really the first to run with the ovalshaped ball? What was touted as the first ever Rugby World Championship? Where does the tradition of awarding rugby caps come from and why did it take so long for the game to go professional? What was it like to be a Lion on tour to New Zealand in '71 or South Africa in '74, and what does it mean to win a Rugby World Cup? Sparked by his enthusiasm and curiosity to better understand the history of the game that he so dearly loves, ex-Springbok Captain Bob Skinstad has spent the better part of a year researching the story of rugby - not too easy for a battlehardened loose forward to do, mind you!

What he found in the half gaps was an untold rugby heritage: of hooligans and heroes, of epic rugby battles fought and friendships forged, as the game grew across the globe.

Bob wants to share this journey with you. A journey that starts on the school fields of Rugby and now leads to the hallowed grounds of Twickenham, home to the 2015 Rugby World Cup Final.

This is not just a talk for rugby lovers. This is a talk for anyone who is interested in the endeavours of the human spirit as we find ways to tackle our shared humanity through our desire to compete on level playing fields. And win.

This is not your average speech with some off-the-cuff predictions about who to watch out for at RWC15. That would be boring. This is a thrilling, well-crafted narrative that will have audiences (corporates and sports enthusiasts alike) on the edge of their seat as they travel with Bob the hooligan and Bob the gentleman on a real rugby journey.

SHARP ON THE BALL! Two respected Rugby Clubs in the Super C League, Masiphumelele and the Blue Jets, both enjoy support and sponsorship from Seartec. As proud distributors of Sharp, the name has never been far from the chests of mighty sports stars‌.

These players certainly aim for the stars and it will be a great derby to see these two side take on each other on. That will be a cracker game as they are almost sister clubs and the boys know each other well.

BLUE JETS

Bob Skinstad is handed the coveted Yellow Cap from Superbru founder Andy Wood. Unfortunately that form didn't last very long as Bob can be seen languishing in the bottom half of the Seartec Superbru pool.

The competition for the 60'' Sharp Aquos TV is heating up.

With only a few rounds of Super Rugby remaining, have you got what it takes to beat Bob?
