November was a crazy busy sports month, with enough talking points to warrant an entire show. Which is exactly what you are getting here with Ben, Shaz and Kate. All the rugby breakdowns, all the football breakdowns, and obviously a fair amount of cricket talk as the Proteas keep defying the odds in the red ball game. Plus there is an exciting SA golf documentary series around Stinger GC coming your way in December which Ben is pretty excited to tell you about. The Real Network
