Oh, to be a Shark...

The Springbok XV once again failed to record a win on their European tour. Between the Springboks and the Springbok XV it now stands at nil out of 3.

I don’t know about you, but I was pretty bumbed when they couldn’t hold on for the win. I guess that’s what happens when you sacrifice the teams winning record to take players along who were plucked out of relative obscurity, destroying any hope of depth within the squad.

We started out pretty slowly, built momentum and created a lot of go forward ball. At that point things were actually looking pretty decent. That was blown out of the water when replacements, some of which clearly have no business playing at this level, were brought onto the field, way too early.

I actually find it sad that the opportunity that this kind of tour offers, one of building strength within our depth and trying out carefully calculated new things, is being squandered away.

Saracens may have won the rugby, but who wins in terms of the sexiest cheerleaders?
