Multi-national panel for Sharks against Jaguares

While it may seem a little petty to complain about a Kings try, when the Sharks scored six in return, all we really ask here is for consistency from the match officials and I genuinely don’t feel we got that on Saturday. […]
Time to bury the ref hatchet
The refereeing appointments for the first round of Super Rugby 2016 have been announced and I was all set to have another whinge about the Sharks’ dreadful luck. I’ve decided, though, that it’s time to rather try a fresh approach. […]
