Vetplant Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Female ref running the show in the game between Force and Waratahs. Excuse my ignorance, but is this a first for Super-Rugby?
Shebeen Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 email just tells me my LIONS tour tickets will be refunded in full. looks like empty stadiums pretty much confirmed. SARugby will be taking a big hit on the transaction fees i guess Vetplant 1
'Dale Posted May 23, 2021 Author Posted May 23, 2021 SA Rugby and the British & Irish Lions confirmed a revised Lions Series fixture list and venues on Friday. All eight matches of the Tour will be played in Gauteng and Cape Town to minimise the risks of disruption that could be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The schedule accommodates stable team bases and training venues and significantly reduces travel. The Series will now kick off in Gauteng (rather than Cape Town) with three matches against provincial opposition before moving to Cape Town for two more warm-up matches before the first Test at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, July 24.

Vetplant Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Just now, Frosty said: I was reading about this on another source. Good for some reasons, not so good for others. Good: Saturday mornings are for riding, not watching rugby Bad: We don't play against the best teams/franchises Agree, but I also wonder how we can know whether Super rugby was really that strong if our franchises never played against the European Clubs. The Bulls dominated the local version of the Rainbow cup, but then got a beating in Europe. Granted, if the Bulls played the Blues or Highlanders this last weekend we might have received an even bigger beating. At least we will be playing teams from other countries, that is great. Playing only local derbies give you absolutely no idea where you are at and you don't get the same impetus to improve. The Test Matches against NZ will just increase in stature going forward because of this move away from Super rugby. We can all agree that they are our fiercest opponent and when we are on top of our own form, we are theirs. Frosty 1
Mntboy Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 The Squidge one on how the BIL's will be looking to play against us and our defensive system. The hype is getting real! The BIL's will play Japan on Saterday which will also give an indication (all though not much I'm sure) of what Gats and his coaching team has got planned.

Playing the Lions with the crowd behind you must be thrilling. Now it will only be your team-mates egging you on.
