31 May 17 09:41 by Nkululeko Duma (Poisy) | 30 Comments

I’m sure by now we’ve all read Craig Ray‘s thought-provoking piece on the Vodacom Rugby website, in which he questions the bloated state of professional rugby structures in South Africa today. If not, go and have a peruse before returning here. […]

Under 21s in real trouble

“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth…”. It’s not often that you’ll catch me quoting Mike Tyson on these pages, but I feel this saying is probably pretty appropriate given the trials and tribulations of Mochael Horak and the Sharks under 21 side this year. […]
Exciting under 21 match-up at Newlands

There’s very little doubt that Western Province had the form team at under 21 level in 2015, romping to the title by destroying Free State in the final. In fact, that Province side won 14 of the 16 games they played, with only two blots on an otherwise flawless copy book. […]

Mixed results for juniors

A plucky come-from-behind win for the Sharks under 19 side on Friday afternoon was as welcome as it was unexpected, but the gloss of that victory was somewhat tainted as the fancied under 21 side stumbled to a shock loss against the EP Kings. […]
