Boknigh,

Just one player from the World Cup walk-on side played.....CJ van der Linde and he was off after 10 minutes with an injury. In fact it was not really our 2nd side either. More of a development outfit than anything else.

LOL!!! Well done LieweHexie. You said it perfectly.

I was wondering why the label World Champions to a dirt tracker team. I suppose it makes the win all the more sweeter. I wonder how many players on this team played in the world cup final! Just curious.

Additionally, I suppose the same editor would point out that the Lions lost the series 2 - 1 and that it was a close series. When in fact the series was done and dusted by the end of the second test. Gotta love it!

Well done to Saracens for a spirited game of rugby.

You guys at PR have no shame. You don't even have the good grace to mention in your report that it was actually the second string side, not really the World Champions.

I see you conveniently failed to mention that every single point in the game was scored by a South African.....on both sides! Not surprising seeing as 32 of the players involved in the game, and both coaches, are South African.

By the way is this the same Saracens side you are glorifying now, that you have complained about regularly in your editorials for being too South African to be good for the Premiership?

Well done to Saracens on a notable victory, but let's not get this out of perspective.

AS bridge too far perhaps... after the past 18 months SA Rugby should have given the Boks a break- send an SA A side & put the top 25 guys on ice... remember Marius Joubert? Too much rugby killed his International career... maybe same will happen to Boks good run if they dont start looking after their main guys...
