Currie Cup injury curse
7 Sep 16 08:05 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 30 Comments
While the Sharks (and I say this furiously crossing fingers, holding thumbs and touching my wooden desk) seem to be doing all right on the injury front this Currie Cup and are now in the position of welcoming players such as Stephan Lewies, Dan du Preez and maybe even Pat Lambie back after lay-offs, other teams have been less fortunate.

I’m coming close to breaking my own rule about referees here, but I wanted to point out some rather worrying inconsistencies in the way the new maul “interpretation” was applied in PE this weekend. 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.
