Hhhhmmm the South African rugby teams didn’t have the greatest weekend now did they…?
The Sharks were once again turned into Fish Paste… gonna be a long season for their supporters methinks while the Lions simply don’t look like they have the firepower to be competitive this season.
The Stormers did everything in their power to throw [...]

The big debate from this weekends Super 14 rugby is whether the 130+ point thriller between the Lions and the Chiefs was a fantastic display of running rugby or an absolute farce and a bad advert for the game?

Earlier this week the Sharks announced they would be signing England flyhalf Andy Goode to try and assist with their flyhalf “crisis”. The Stormers fielded some Argentinian prop and they still have Sireli sitting on the bench for a couple of minutes of game time.

Hhhmmm so the Lions new import Carlos Spencer didn’t quite live up to all the hype that was built up around him…. at least if you look at the way he played in the Super 14 game between the Lions and the MIGHTY MIGHTY Stormers.

It doesn’t say much about your appetite for Super 14 rugby when you rock up with your dad and hand in your resignation / retirement letter, 24 hours before the kick-off of the new season.
