SMASH AND GRAB
The Sharks kicked off the South African part of the URC on Friday with a valuable win in Edinburgh. They just had no business even competing in the match.
Except for when Makazole Mapimpi - with the poise and precision of a pickpocket - grabbed the match from the jaws of defeat. Here is how he did it...
YOU'RE SO FEIN YOU BLOW MY MIND
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu can become an all-time great Springbok. Anyone who disagrees with that statement did not watch last Saturday's match against Connacht.

Speaking of things the Stormers deserved to lose, here is a video of Kade Wolhuter casually popping over a penalty from 60 metres out.
Ok, just kidding! (About the Stormers part, not the kick video.)
OXCELLENT
And that wasn't even the best kick of the weekend. That honour belongs to the unlikely figure of Ox Nche.
Now we're delighted for the salad-avoiding scrum machine, except he'll have to hand back his frontrow club membership card.
