The question that has vexed me all day is: Why did Cheslin play with his socks pulled up? Never seen it before. I need answers! #RugbyChampionship

Saru pay a warm tribute to Lynne Cantwell. She laid the foundations for the rise of the Bok women. Interacted with her several times when she worked in SA and was always left in awe of her intelligence, clarity and commitment. Was such an asset to SA rugby.

For a man with the strongest legs in the premier league, Jack Grealish sure is unstable on his feet. Gets knocked over by a passing breeze. Perhaps he needs more core work? #LIVEVE

Great men’s 4x400m relay final in downpour. Gold for Botswana and bronze for SA with USA sandwiched in between. Great legs by Wayde and Nene for SA. Tebogo ran a great leg too. SA miss out on silver by two thousandth of a second. Thrilling.

Wayde v Niekerk ran a 43.26 leg and Nene a 43.93 in the 4x400m final...only two guys under 44sec on a drenched track...Wayde might have run the race of his life, which is saying something for a man who holds the 400m WR at 43.03.
