Glenwood needs the Goldstones win to be absolutely sure of 1st place
Glenwood will travel up the N3 freeway to Maritzburg College’s Goldstones on Saturday in search of a win period. The bonus will be that if they achieve it, they will be the undisputed No.1 team in KwaZulu-Natal for the 2014 season. Defeat would open up a potentially lively debate about who the best team in KwaZulu-Natal is in 2014 as it would probably result in College finishing ahead of Glenwood on a few different national ranking systems including the BHP used on this website.…

Bad idea: Henry Immelman playing Free State Currie Cup this year
Big news doing the rounds is that Grey College fullback Henry Immelman has been included in the Free State Currie Cup 2014 training squad. At this stage it’s unclear whether this is a genuine call-up or just some sort of I don’t know marketing or incentive ploy that rugby unions like to make use of from time to time. Either way the story kind of reminds me of Jaco Taute from back in 2009 when we was a 6 A’s matric student at Monument in Krugersdorp and got to make his debut for the Lions senior team at just aged 18.…
