State of the URC: Bulls, Sharks hold nerve, Stormers surge
Khamakazi shocker of week – Serial offender Hepburn. On 42 mins. Could have ended Sacha’s season on his knees and why was the option of a pen try not even explored? Home prop Alec Hepburn was shown a third yellow card of the season for a no-arms tackle on Feinberg-Mngomezulu
Try of the week: Deon Fourie
The offloads 🤯 The footwork 🕺
