Win or lose against Harlequins....Jake has made his point again. He is the surest winner in world rugby.....Bok juniors, the World Cup, the S15 with teams in Australia and South Africa and now The Challenge Cup final.
And instead of this serial winner the Sharks choose Gold....really?
By the way there is more egg for Jake bashing Tokkie
Dragons coach Kingsley Jones admitted at half-time his side needed to sort out their scrum, which was wilting under the pressure of two Springbok World Cup winners in the Montpellier front row and a 42 stone second row pairing.
And who was in that front row....yep Bis and Jannie. With the scandalously ignored Willemse locking the scrum.
When rugby leaders are as stupid as those in SA losing goes with the territory.

Great for Montpellier going through to the European Challenge Cup Final - but then we must remember that it is the second level competition in Europe for teams NOT qualifying to play in the European Champions Cup.

No - I prefer to deal with facts and the fact is that the European Challenge Cup is about as significant in Europe as the Grade 1 CC used to be in SA. It is played between teams that cannot make the grade to play in the European Champions Cup.
A consolation for you though - Montpellier may be in the top competition next year and we will see how they do then.

Jacques du Plessis has been their best forward all season with Willemse a close second.
Frans Steyn is lean and mean and looking good at 12.
Another player playing great rugby for them is loosie Wiun Liebenberg older brother of last year's Baby Bok captain who himself captained the Baby Boks
