Ron Claassens, by e-mail: We can always rely on a politician to reduce a healthy sports competition to base party politics. Thank you, Dan Mohlatlole.
As for my parochial opinion, the Sharks have my vote for doing honest work, operating as a team, being accountable for every man's actions and supporting the ones who make a mistake.
I see no slackers in our team and I observe no snouts at the feeding trough. We have no weak members being carried by their team-mates.
The Sharks have put together a team that will win, despite your newspaper only giving them the occasional tailpiece while you glorify Western Province. Go Sharks, go!
