Re: SA Schoolboy and club sport

After my wife and my first season in charge of the under 12s the club chairman has asked us to take the position of junior chair for the club. Effectively responsible for all junior sides. The chairman waa obviously impressed with how we managed the parents, boys and development. This leaves us a bi...

Re: URC Season 2024/2025 Official Thread

Sharks should put 50 past Leinster C. Yes, they should. Credit to Leinster C. They were in the Sharks faces all game long and played with a lot of passion. Can see NieNaber's defensive poison in full flight. Glasgow were all over the Lions. It's going to be a special team to beat Leinster A or Glas...

I didn't see the game, but Zebre got a bit lucky with that last try. Anyway, a win's a win. Kolisi looks in good form. The ref was very lenient on Zebra. Our scrum demolition of them hardly ever resulted in penalties. We would walk them back 5 metres and still no penalties. Some other stuff too. Bu...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Shocking by Proteas. Bavuma really started the rot with his slow start. Put pressure on the boys all the way down. From my experience. You put pressure on the bowlers by hitting them around the park on the start. Openers in the short format don't play themselves in.

You have no clue how stressful it is to run an unbeaten team. Every Saturday is another pressure point. To lose our streak would be unforgivable. Especially for the boys. And now we have rugby overlapping with cricket. And some star batsmen not available. I can't wait for the season to end tbh. I ha...

The highest total we have ever had to chase on a pitch made for batting. But my lads were exhausted from a tough week of cricket so lots of extras w...
