Tabloid rugby

Drugs and sex. SA rugby is in the news! It's like a Nollywood and/or tabloid version of Invictus. Istead of heroism and national pride, it's dope, hitmen and love triangles.

Juicy stuff. Players sent home for taking banned substances (knowingly or not), and then a mother sends out a Nigerian hitsquad to take out a Blue Bulls youngster who is having a relationship with the daughter. A movie scriptwriter could not have come up with a better blockbuster. And on top of that the Bokke lost against Scotland.

What's next before the game against England? A secret love child? Indian gambling syndicate now targetting rugby? Bokke player with poker addiction? Blue Bulls orgies? Sharks' nightclub brawl?
