Black ‘n Whites get caught in the Red
Doesn’t happen often, but due to some in-house visitors I was spousally rationed to one S14 fixture this weekend. Looking closely at the schedule with a South African eye, but also an eye on quality - I had to go for the Sharks vs Reds. Apologies now to the Stormers who finally played some entertaining if not precision rugby – that fact and the mush the Sharks dished up – showed up my tough choice to be incorrect.
