After watching the Stormers smash the Tahs back to Aus last week, i decided at least some effort should be made to try and make the final in Soweto. That was until we tried to procure tickets. […]

The year that was

So the 2008 rugby season comes to a close this evening with what I am sure we are all hoping will be a classic Baa-Baa’s fixture. A lot of the press I have read has insinuated that although the season was fairly good in terms of results, we as fans should be disappointed by the fact we didn’t dominate our Sanzar partners. […]
