  1. Not sure if I would be so kind as to use the words drab or negative – I thought it was absolutely pathetic. To think that these teams train 3 days a week and one hears the same words every Thursday, “We worked hard this week and training went well,” and then on Monday,”we have to up our game and work on our mistakes.”

  2. Sharks vs Stormers.Good old fashioned hard fought rugby. No one allowed to get away. If you call this drab what do you want. 55-35 as a score? Come on !!- superb defence from both sides. We will see how they fare against the NZ sodes soon. Like on Saturday with Stormers game!

  3. Different strokes for different folks I suppose 🙂 These were quotes from SuperSport and Sport24 … I am going to watch the games later … But I much prefer the Kiwi, ball in hand game than the kick and chase, defend like demons ….
