Kuyindida enkulu ukuthi kungenzeka ukulungiselela i-Covid kodwa hhayi ikhadi eliphuzi noma elibomvu.
Uma umdlali kuthiwe akafanele ukudlala ngenxa yegciwane, ukhona ongafakwa esikhundleni sakhe. Isu leqembu lingashintshwa, ngisho nokukhethwa kweqembu kungashintsha ukukunxephezela.
Iqembu alikwazi ukulungiselela ikhadi eliphuzi. Abakwazi ukuzijwayeza lona, abakwazi ukulihlelela. Umdlali uyakhishwa bese umdlalo uphenduka i-Lotto – futhi umbhoxo awuqondene ne-lotto.
Oyi-scrumhalf seSharks uJaden Hendrikse ukhishwe ngekhadi maphakathi nomdlalo ngenxa yobuphukuphuku – futhi lowo mdlalo wawa ngesikhathi iLions igijima nge-try ngemuva kwe-try.
KuLions vs South Africa ‘A’ uFaf de Klerk ukhishwe ngekhadi elibomvu ngenxa yokudlala kabi kwathi uMarco van Staden wakhishwa ngekhadi elibomvu ngenxa yokwephula ephindelela.
Iqembu le-SA-A lenze kahle ngendlela exakile nabesilisa abayi-13, kodwa ukuhola kwasuka ku-17-3 kwaya ku-17-13 ngaphambi kokuthi bobabili laba badlali babuyele enkundleni. Esikhundleni sokulwa nokulahlekelwa ngamaphuzu ayi-14 iLions ibisalele emuva ngamaphuzu amane kuphela.
Ngempela, bekungekho lutho olungalungile ngonompempe okuholele ekutheni kutholakale amakhadi abomvu namabili aphuzi.
Kodwa emdlalweni obanjwe ngokuqinile, ngabadlali abayi-14 abakwazi ukuncintisana nabayi-15 imizuzu engama-40, futhi nabadlali abayi-13 abakwazi ukuncintisana nabadlali abayi-15 imizuzu eyishumi.
Akekho ongakuphika lokho. Ngisho nabenzi balomthetho angeke bakuphike lokho. Futhi abakwazi ukuphika ukuthi ikhadi elibomvu, noma ikhadi eliphuzi, liguqula umdlalo ngokuphelele. Manje-ke yini okufanele uyenze ukugwema lesi simo esingenangqondo?
Yeka ukuthumela abadlali ngaphandle kwenkundla. Khipha umdlali ngokusemthethweni ukuthi uzokwephula bese ubajezisa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngephaneli elifanelekile. Kungaba isijeziso esinzima, njengokuvinjelwa imidlalo ethile noma ukuhlawuliswa, noma ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, ukuvinjelwa emqhudelwaneni noma ngisho nakwisizini ethile (njengoba kwenzeka ngokusebenzisa kabi izidakamizwa).
UWarren Gatland uzokwazi enhliziyweni yakhe, ukuthi ukushaya iSharks ngamaphuzu amakhulu angama-40 nokulahlekelwa bedlala neNingizimu Afrika ngamaphuzu amane kuphela akuyona into efanelekile yomdlalo.
Uhambo lweB & I Lions lukwibhalansi ngenxa ye-Covid-19 futhi uma lukhanselwa lokho kungaba yinhlekelele. Kodwa ingaklabalazwa ngenxa yekhadi elibomvu emdlalweni – futhi lokho kungaba yihlazo elibuhlungu. Futhi lokhu akumayelana nabadlali noma abaphathi noma ngisho nabaxhasi, lokhu kumayelana nabalandeli!
