#1 ....observers are divided on the reasons.


Is it a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma ?

NO !

#2 the players, and the team, need to develop their own footballing identity

Or maybe just, you know, score some goals. You don't need a whole lot to win a soccer game.

#3 If its how I understand SA rugby, its diversity quotas.

#4 #3 That’s the Vodacom Cup 3rd tier, I don’t think the Sprinboks have a quote system yet

Super Rugby is in such disarray the Stormers, Bulls and Sharks now compete Europe rather than against NZ and Australia.

#5 Maybe the other teams need to play with their shoelaces tied together.

#6 Any sport that looks like it was designed by committee deserves to die: you dress one guy up in different clothes and make him stand in a playpen, reminds me of the last kid picked in a schoolyard baseball game, field markings look like a hockey rink and basketball court mated, and score ends in a tie, with time kept by some dude with a stopwatch and they add time ‘ just because.’

Kind of like a platypus or pontiac aztec.
