Super Rugby Superbru Round 6

22 March, 2013 beet 10

Eeek! We are a little behind with coverage of Superbru Super Rugby. Last weekend had many games that were tough to predict and this weekend could also cough up a few surprises.

The topic of good leadership comes up on this blog from time to time. When looking at the sad state of affairs on our SB leaderboard, clearly it has no application here. The qualities associated with a good leader are nowhere to be found. …

Varsity Cup Young Guns u20: Round 4

11 March, 2013 beet 0

There should be two very good games on in the Young Guns competition today. Tuks takes on the Pukke in a battle for top spot in their pool. The Ikeys Trojans and UJ are both after that very important second place in the Steinhoff pool. With the top two teams from each pool qualifying for the semi-finals, it is everything to play for. The Shimlas from UFS should comfortably beat Wits in today’s other game, meaning that the loser of Tuks versus Pukke will find themselves relegated to third in the pool after today’s round.…
