Enough with the local stuff

Thank goodness we'll see the last of the United Rugby Championship local derbies this weekend.

It is high time the South African teams started playing against some different opposition again.

While it's always fun and exciting to see the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Stormers go up against each other, and these matches certainly draw bigger crowds than when they play against the European teams, enough is enough.

Since 8 February all we've had is one derby after another. After this weekend it will be seven in a row, and going back to late November, and through December, there were also a number of SA derbies staged in that period.
