Have seen Dragons scrumhalf Sarel Pretorious is heading back to South Africa he will be joining the Kings for next seasons PRO14.

Meanwhile Uzair Cassiem is heading in the opposite direction. Going to Wales next season to join Scarlets. Wonder if that means he has given up on his chance to play for the Boks.

16 @ Bullscot:
Hello Bully!

I’m watching from bed already…

Worked through the night last night till 05:30 this morning, then took a quick powernap till about 07:30 and was back hard at work whilst doing this morning’s rugby games..

… and Super Rugby already starts at 06:00 in the morning, so I will sleep hard straight after this game.

I am positively knackered!

Will be a penalty against the Cheetahs lock… leading with the shoulder and without arms into the ruck…
