Griquas name strong team for Kings
Lions get the other Boshoff
Griquas signed a lot of players at the start of this year in the hopes of finally nailing down that elusive top-four Currie Cup spot and while we’re not yet sure whether they’ve managed to achieve that feat, they do seem to be offloading a few of the “spares” who proved less useful than was hoped.

Mitchell wields the axe
Earl Rose, Walter Venter and promising flanker Johan “Biscuit” van Deventer have become some of the latest casualties in Lions land as new new coach John Mitchell (newer than the old new coach Dick Muir) plays the new broom trick in yet another attempt to try and wring some success out of the perennial no-hopers from the Coke Tin.

Sharks should try to net Venter
Since hunting (or is that poaching?) season seems well and truly under way, my feeling is that the Sharks really should be looking at boosting their depth in the centrers.
