RUGBY NEWS - There will be some angst about the Emirates Lions, and rightly so for they have now had two off games in a row, but they have been the South African leaders for a while now when it comes to playing innovative attack orientated rugby so there shouldn’t be question marks over their template.
That means that with the DHL Stormers putting some substance to the view of their coach Robbie Fleck that they have improved immeasurably by producing a rousing performance against the Blues and the Vodacom Bulls again showing strong signs of incredible growth even in defeat, it is the Cell C Sharks who are the odd one out.
The odd one out in the sense that they are the only local franchise who are not showing any signs of growing their game. The fear that they are still too forward based and reliant on their big men that arose during their comfortable win over the Sunwolves was confirmed in their first tour match in Canberra.
