3 h. ago My dad has given my brother 80% of his business and I feel horribly dismissed

You’re reluctant to discuss this with your parents – but doing so might help you shake off the feeling of injusticeI am struggling with the different way my parents have treated me and my brother.

He’s told me I will inherit the house and whatever money is left when my parents pass away, which is likely to be in about 20 years. I doubt there will be anything left. Continue reading...

Now that South Africa has been incorporated into the Champions Cup, these long trips are part and parcel. It meant Saracens changing 10 of their starting lineup. It meant Sharks changing 14 – and a head coach to boot.JP Pietersen, the former Springbok, stepped up to fill his new role this week when John Plumtree resigned after the Sharks’ heavy defeat in Toulouse on Sunday. One match, one win, his record now reads. For Sharks this was only a second win of the season.
