This weekend was packed with action in the form of South African Sports. Here is a quick wrap up of the action if you missed it
1). Pirates beat Al Ahly:
Orlando Pirates won the opening leg of the CAF Confedertations Cup semi final on Saturday, beating Egyptian side Al Ahly 1-0. Gabuza scored the lone goal and Pirates will travel to Cairo this Sunday for the second leg.
2). Boks back in the top 5:
After a good win against Samoa South Africa managed to creep back into the top 5 in the Rugby World Rankings, just above England following their loss to Wales. Also...we had some SA fans invade the pitch (shocker), WATCH HERE.
3). DeVilliers Retires:
Springbok great Jean DeVilliers fractured his jaw making a tackle in the Samoa match on Saturday, he was subsequently knocked out of the World Cup with that injury. He then announced his retirement from International rugby. JDV is the second most capped Boks captain, only behind John Smit.
4). Super Rugby Changes Format:
The new format for 2016 sees the inclusion of Argentinian and Japanese teams as well as South Africa's Kings. These additions bring the total team count to 18, which will be broken down into 4 conferences. The New Zealand and Australian conferences will remain as is (10 teams combined) and the new conferences will each house 3 South African teams along with either an Argentinian or Japanese side. The Golden Lions will be the first team to play in Japan as the format expands.
5). Africa T20 Cup Semifinal Draw Released:
The Semifinals for the Africa T20 Cup will occur as follows:
Saturday 3 October: 10am - Northerns vs. KwaZulu-Natal
Saturday 3 October: 2pm - Free State v KZN Inland
Sunday 4 October: 10am - Semifinal 1 Winner vs Semfinal 2 Winner
6). SA Women remain winless:
SA Basketball is now 0-4 in Cameroon. This weekend saw our ladies lose to Uganda, who was making their first appearance in the tournament. This was a particularly disappointing result because Uganda is probably the weakest side they will face.
