It's a meaningless game, that's why we put our a B-Team. Especially as it's the last time we'll see our Boks in a while.

If nothing else, this tournament has allowed some key players to get some much-needed gametime under their belt. But like-for-like, the Premiership and Top14 is being played a higher pace and standard than what we've seen in the RC.

But are they fit enough for international rugby? Not sure. Especially considering the Lions players are coming off the back of a very good 6N tournament.

Stomps making over 150 tackles in the first half at altitude is ridiculous.

The South competition. The name says it all

Not for me boet, but good luck to anyone who find fulfilment in winning the comp.

I'll give you that much, it was a better game than I've seen in a while. But generally our rugby this side of the year has been poor.

It's been an extraordinary year; & with all the disruptions, & re-scheduling, I'll cut the players a lot of slack, on the lack of quality.

I'm just happy to be back seeing games again

Hopefully after the Lions tour, there'll be a regular pre-season, & with the vaccine rollout; we'll be back starting a regular season, with crowds of some description in the Autumn

The difference is that Duane, Morne and Van Staden are the Bulls. They are Talisman players. Sharks beat the Lions comfortably with a B team. Fills me with confidence. We could still take it. Thats the SHARKS for you. Always getting into finals

The Sharks still have Curwin Bosch. Advantage Sharks!
