Midweek news roundup
So, what have we missed?
Welcome back, Sharksworld fans. It’s 2017 and things are slowly starting to pick up momentum here, even though I am personally far from ready to dive right back into the rat race! Anyway, you have to earn your daily bread somehow, I guess. […]
Boks look to the future
Allister Coetzee has wielded something of a heavy axe, picking a green Springbok backline boasting just 40 aggregate caps for Saturday’s test against Wales. With one last chance to take something from a disastrous year, Coetzee has picked a team featuring four uncapped players in the 23 – and 14 locally-based players in the starting line-up. […]

Tuesday Morning News – Updated

Interesting choices ahead of BaaBaa’s game

Combrinck out, Jantjies doubtful

The Golden Goose returns
Johan Goosen has been selected to play at fullback for this weekend’s encounter between the Springboks and Argentina. This marks a comeback from the French wilderness for the young back, who last played for the Springboks in 2014. […]
Sad end to a promising career
While all the news yesterday – at least in mainstream media – focused on Sharks hooker Monde Hadebe’s 4-year ban for returning a positive test for a banned substance, there’s a rather more tragic angle to the story that I’d like to focus on instead. I feel we are way too quick to engage in righteous anger and armchair condemnation (often selectively) whenever a positive test is returned; perhaps we owe Monde a little more than that, though? […]
