OPINION | Rugby needs to scrap the archaic and boring team announcement

As innocuous as it sounds, the Bulls' team announcement for Wednesday's Currie Cup clash against the Lions was memorable... because it wasn't a team announcement (at least initially).

Left a bit in limbo because of a few outstanding Covid-19 test results, Jake White couldn't on Monday name his match-23 within the standard 48-hours before kick-off.

So an extended squad of 28 was sent out - not that I believe SA Rugby has any problem with delayed team announcements in the current climate.
