Open Letter to Cheeky Watson

Dear Cheeky Watson

I sent an open letter to the Union on the 30 May 2015 representing supporters on our pages, highlighting our concerns; we were not being ready for Currie Cup, and not building for Super Rugby 2016.

Our letter spoke to; the ongoing sponsor saga, lack of coaching structures, the urgent need to add to our player pool, improve communication and refrain from using the word “immanent” which was frankly comical.
