Sharks got lucky there. But how can you be attacking with a lineout on the 5m line to almost conceding? That's sloppy
 
Hopefully, the Bulls supporters start filling Loftus a bit because they are playing some decent rugby.

Yeah I couldn't find any decent seats it was all sold out. Thankfully I didn't go. The Bulls fans would have harassed me after that embarrassment from The Sharks.

As for the Lions. They are not my team but damn I aint risking it in Hilbrow streets to watch them at R170 a ticket. No thanks.
 
The Lions should be playing in a smaller stadium as they do in Europe.

Not sure which is best suited that's in JHB.

The UJ Athletic Stadium could be worth a look. 8,000 seats (same as Munster's secondary ground and bigger than Glasgow, Benetton, Zebre & Edinburgh's grounds) and quite scenic with grass embankments and trees lining it, so it looks good on TV. You could also benefit from getting nearby varsity students in to help fill the ground out. The one issue would be parking, as there is no parking at the stadium, although the main parking for UJ itself is about 1km away from the ground, so a bit of walking.

Seeing as a lot of Lions fans come from the area, I always thought that investing in the Alberton rugby club as a secondary ground could be worth it as well.

Apparently the Stormers are not sending their strongest team over in preparation for the home game against La Rochelle next week and this includes Libbok (to be confirmed though. Team hasn't been announced yet). I reckon the Stormers will probably be decent in patches but I'm expecting a comfortable Tigers win in the end. Saracens on the other hand are supposedly sending their strongest team, including the likes of Itoje and Farrell (also tbc).
