Irrespective of the result that has just played out or the importance of the match directly ahead of them, every time a recording device is put in front of a Sars player or member of management, they make sure to incorporate into the conversation the off-field work of the past 14 months. They make sure to laud the off-field work of the past 14 months.

Every time Sars score a notable win, and there have been a growing number of these lately, match reports will carry reference to the turbulent last 14 months for the Riverstown establishment.
