I would not be able to pick an SA team of the week - or should I spell it team of the weak.

Perhaps the Sharks might pick up a few points along the way while on tour, but that won't happen if they repeat last night's appalling performance. I trust Jake will talk some sense into them.
One thing for sure is that SA teams only put up a fight for 40--ish minutes, and go to sleep hopping for the best. It kinda feels like our teams give up a fight far too easy compared to NZ and Ozzie teams.
The Bulls are utterly lost without their driving maul, and you can expect nothing to come out of them once their maul has been brought to an end, lack of vision and quick thinking seems foreign, not only to the Bulls, but to pretty much most of our Teams.
As for Stormers and Cheetahs, theirs is a sad story of the season, both impressed last season only to take countless steps backwards.
The long season is starting to take its toll on the Lions who showed a little bit of character in their first few matches, not enough depth within the squad.
I just wonder how the Sharks will handle their traveling factor while on tour; man they really need to dig deep while they are at it.

Ntanga...I would love to say, it's just one of those things or a bad day at the office but it's a lot more serious than that...there are some excuses but excuses carry no truck...maybe a good thing though because a wake up call is required for the soft cruise the Sharks have had...ironically could be a blessing in disguise.
We all know the Sharks are far better than their mistakes in one isolated game...I still have faith in them. Really shocking errors but this happens sometimes...a strange game...seen France lose to Tonga and the same side lose in a final by one point to the powerhouse in their own country and recently Tonga lose to Romania.
If you lose the way the Sharks did, use it in the academy of experience and learn and correct it. SA coaches are a decade behind NZ ones bar JW...I believe he is the exception...well just look at the mark he has left with the initial struggling Brumbies.
There's only one winner in the present struggle between the Cheetahs and the Stormers...whoever wins will bring no answer to the above statement...rather like shooting yourself in the foot...one has to see deeper than that.
