When Nolusindiso Booi played her first Test for her country back in 2010, milestones and records were not part of the conversation. The women’s game was little more than an afterthought in South Africa. The side was completely amateur; under-resourced, barely recognised beyond the few who could care to watch, effectively playing in darkness as media houses and fans focussed all their energies on the men’s team who, three years earlier, had won their second World Cup.

We’re all slaves to our own experiences. The invisible forces that steer us through life shape our understanding of this complex sport. Which leads us to the question everyone’s been asking: how would a South African select a British & Irish Lions squad? What’s that? You’ve not asked this once? Fair enough.

Bath’s quest for a rare treble of trophies remains on track after a chaotic West Country derby where the Premiership leaders and Premiership Cup holders outscored Gloucester nine tries to four to progress to the semi-finals of the European Challenge Cup. They will meet Edinburgh in the Scottish capital in early May and will start as clear favourites. Get the job done up north and they will face either Lyon or Racing 92 in the final a week before the league playoffs get going.

They’ve been charging towards the wicket ever since overarm bowling was standardised in 1864. Well, not exactly charging. They amble. They shuffle. They waddle. They gather at the crease and unfurl dibbly-dobblers. The peaches they send down are not quite ripe. The jaffas they deliver are gluten free. These are the unblessed athletes, bereft of twitching fibres and whiplash limbs.

Three years ago, we ran a story that received a ton of negative feedback. Published in the wake of South Africa’s 75-0 defeat to England in the Women’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, the piece took issue not with the result but with the way the Springboks conducted themselves after the final whistle. The players were celebrating. They were singing and dancing. This was mostly in honour of the most-capped member of the squad, Zenay Jordaan, who retired after the game.

Let's hear it for the amblers, the shufflers, the waddlers, the dibbly-dobbler trundlers trying to survive in a game hunting them out of existence. https://t.co/55sR8iakAI
I've scored each of the Six Nations according to their pre tournament expectations. England therefore shot the lights out, France with room to improve, Scotland the most disappointing of the bunch.
One A, one B, one C, two Ds and an F. @danielgallan 👨💻 marks the Six Nations report cards. #GuinnessM6N | #Rugby https://t.co/2LaoP04SMD
Rohit Sharma's India is in the conversation for the best white ball team of all time. Their batters are artists. Their bowlers are wizards. I should love them. It's a shame that I don't. Latest yarn for the G: https://t.co/ZiuhEVZ68n
