The last twelve months have not given South African rugby fans much to smile about. Defeats to the likes of Italy, Wales, Argentina and Ireland have seen the Springboks plummet to a lowest ever world ranking of 7th and it is difficult to see how things will improve.
Whilst they still have some supreme talent at their disposal, the pool is not as full as it once was. However, the malaise runs deeper than simply a lack of fresh talent.

In the space of less than a decade, the Premier League has fallen from the dizzying heights of domination into the footballing abyss. Between 2005 and 2012, sev..
Well that’s it for another lung-busting, gut-wrenching, bone-breaking Premiership Season. Almost. All barring the small matter of the play-offs. And of course the slightly self-indulgent pageant of the final. Ok, so it’s not all over, but the regular, ordinary, bog-standard season is, and this calls for something of a round-ahead.

This Bank Holiday Monday saw Guildford Under-18s celebrate the phenomenal achievement of
getting their hands on The National Colts Cup. Guildford’s future stars – under the stewardship of
Lions Sports Director and Coach, Andy Jones – beat York Under-18s in a thrilling final at the home of
the Bedford Blues.
