Just scrum against the Sharks and kick the penalties.
The star studded WP team will be way to strong for the
Hapless Freestate.

I wonder if the saarks management will get to the bottom of the attitude problem in their team? A bit of heat and the team is nowhere. Where is the commitment?

It’s tough when your Enforcer is a WP reject called Notshe.

Agreed, I've mentioned a few times in the past that you need at least 1 bruiser in your backrow. Play the fairies against the WP pack and see what happens.

Wonder if these new restrictions will cause a suspension of the tournament?

Nothing was said explicitly but surely just having the 30 players on the pitch will be a contravention of the gathering limits under level 3?

No Springbok captain to tame Rudolph. Vrystaat firm favourates.

Interesting read from Dobson.

I see they're persisting with the 68 kg Tristan Leyds. Imagine being a professional rugby player in this day and age and weighing 12kg less than Cheslin Kolbe. And he plays back 3. Thank God we're not playing Super Rugby anymore. Imagine this laaitie marking Caleb Clarke.

Only 68kg? Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes, but 68 kg is just too small.

Within certain parameters and positions this may hold true. I watched the Kings game in the Pro14 and while they had some lekker moments on attack, they got steam rollered by the opposition backs. Guys like Malcolm Jaer at 72 kg just can't defend against big chaps. Faf and Cheslin are 80kg physical freaks. They are the exception rather than the rule. Our little backs may seem OK at Currie cup level but we've now got squads full of 70-80 kg wings defending one another. Angelo Davids, Specman, Penxe etc. They look defensively OK because our back 3s are getting smaller by the year.
