[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1011680, member: 40658"] The Lightning issue is a bit of a frustration. But it's such a difficult thing to manage. And it was especially strange in the Griquas vs. Lions match, as the storm came in around 16:00. But what was even stranger, was the video footage showing the rain pouring, but not a single lightning strike was recorded. Also, the referee had a clock running, which they use as a safety measure. had the storm passed, they would have returned to play. My cousin farms in Jankempdorp, which is about 70km from Kimberley, and he sent me a whatsapp of the storm. He told me it was the first time they had rain like that in over 7 years... It was always going to be risky to play games in SA this time of year, because of our rainfall season and the heat. I would rather take these games, than none at all. And it's a good learning experience for SARU, in preparation for the global season and SA being part of a NH tournament who play the chunk of the matches this time of the year. [/QUOTE]
