@ Scrumdown:
ZAR 700, a bit pricey, no? I will check at Dubai, at the sportzone. I need to wear one in the vip lounge so I can get a firm grip on the Chivas

Seems to be about average for non- pirated goods.

I personally don’t buy from the roadside, but will also not buy whenever a new jersey comes out.

With 4 family members all wanting one it gets too expensive.

Ideal result, I think… no bonus points for tries, no losing bonus point

Saders have this slow starting habit, a bit like Italy used be at FIFA World Cups …
