Something old and something new

A dominant display by the Sharks’ Super Rugby-strength pack – particularly in the scrums – laid the platform for a 33-10 victory over the Pumas their opening game on Friday night. The Durban side scored five tries (to one by their hosts) to take maximum log points from the fixture. […]
