Lions

Should we take this Lions side seriously: Henco van Wyk seems legit, does have what it takes to make it all the way?

19-yer-old Ruan Venter looks like another gem from the South African loose forward production line

Sharks

Thoughts on the Sharks so far… What is the minimum that the Sharks need to achieve this season for Sean Everitt to be safe?

Stormers

Great start for the Stormers this season…thoughts so far… Sacha Mngomezulu looked comfortable against Zebre, kicking was also on point… breakout season?

Bulls

Their loss to Glasgow – should we be concerned? Unprepared or outplayed? They face Munster next, it could potentially become a poor tour if they lose to the Irish…big pressure or still early season?
