There’s been plenty happening around the world, with football leagues here and abroad close to wrapping up while the major rugby competitions are also heading towards their conclusions.
The United Rugby Championship has two regular rounds remaining before the quarter-finals and three of the four South African teams are in the mix to finish in the top eight.

After the semi-finals of both the Champions and Challenge Cup competitions this last weekend, all the URC sides are back in action this weekend.
Locally, the Junior Springboks wrapped up the U20 Rugby Championship title with a good win against Australia in Gqeberha on Sunday. They previously beat Argentina and have one match to go, against New Zealand this coming weekend.
The Springboks are also getting closer to their season kickoff, against the Barbarians late next month.
There’s plenty more to read about in The Citizen, including a nice feature on ultra-trail running star Ryan Sandes as well as how things went down in the schools rugby action at the weekend. And let’s not forget the good performances of some of our relay teams at the World Relays Championships held in Gaborone.
