Let’s play a round of: “If I were the coach.”
If I were the coach I would have done a lot of things different up to this point, I think we all would have, but lets say I didn’t do anything differently from Plumtree, what would the type of things have been that I would have addressed and changed during this week. [...]
Sharks squad to defeat Brumbies

No action against Burger
The South African Rugby Union (SARU) are not planning any action against Stormers captain Schalk Burger. [...]
“You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.”
