Last 15-min makes a huge difference in Paul Roos win over SACS

22 July, 2019 beet 0

The closing quarter of match is sometimes all it takes for a powerhouse to turn what otherwise might have been a scoreboard that reflected a good contest into one that looks more like a very easy win.

Grant Khomo “Shopping” Week 2019

23 June, 2019 beet 98

The retail equivalent of Black Friday has finally arrived. What is meant to be a celebration of some of the rich vein of under-16 schoolboy rugby talent that South Africa poses, turns out to be a bit of a nightmare for some schools who become the victims of the shopping spree conducted by a few well-off school who stop at nothing to buy star players. …
