@ Sharks_forever:
Marcel van der Merwe is a big loss, hope he recovers soon.
These political relegation matches over the past two weeks were utter bullshyte, teams are always going to face this kind of illegal survival tactics from Cheeky’s ‘first black franchise’ as long as EP are fighting to substantiate their existance as a premier league team, which they aren’t.
Imagine this lot against the likes of the Chiefs, Reds, Highlanders and Hurricanes in an overseas encounter, they would be ripped to pieces!
And the irony of it all, our ‘first black rugby franchise’ with a Whitehead at fullback!!!

And one of the “black” players a Samoan!
Go figure.
