Sixteen observations on the Boks and Sharks this past weekend

Having watched both teams I support submit to narrowish but equally dumb losses this last weekend, I found myself pondering some points. I have set them down below for your scorn or enjoyment… one for each position on the field and of course one for the coach. [...]
All brawn and no brains

I’ve been watching the Springboks since their unbanning in the early nineties, and I think it’s fair to say I’ve been “a long suffering supporter”… Yes we’ve won two world cups, and we have a few Tri-Nations under our belt, not nearly as many as we’d like but hey, that is sport… [...]

According to a report in Die Burger, which I’m told is not actually related to him, Stormers flank Schalk Burger will struggle to be fit in time to be selected for the Boks’ series against England in June. [...]
Some perspective on the Matfield saga
18 Apr 12 08:01 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 29 Comments
Nothing like a little bit of misinformation and conjecture to liven up an otherwise-dull Tuesday, eh? That seemed to be very much the case yesterday as the South African rugby world tied itself into a frenzy about a ridiculously premature – if not outright fanciful – story that Victor Matfield was about to join the Sharks. [...]

Where to from here for Bulls
5 Sep 11 13:41 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 47 Comments
It’s an odd sight, seeing the Bulls down in sixth spot on a Currie Cup log, and something that non-Bulls supporters would have thought was not going to happen for quite some time. The thing is, I am of the opinion that they will stay right where they are, not getting close to even fourth spot on the log. [...]
