Cape Town - Sport24 highlights 5 talking points after the second weekend's action of Super Rugby:
1.Spatial awareness is key in rugby
The Bulls had an opportunity to sneak a late win in their clash against the Hurricanes at Loftus Versfeld when lock Grant Hattingh went over in the corner. However, television replays showed Hattingh's hand had simultaneously touched the dead-ball line just as he was about to dot down. The TMO correctly awarded a 22m restart to the Hurricanes who held on for a 17-13 win. It was poor technique from Hattingh who should have displayed better spatial awareness when dotting down, making sure his arm was inside the field of play. Coaches should incorporate that into their weekly team TV sessions.
