Training starts at nine sharp. It starts when Rassie says it starts, and every watch on the field catches up with him.

Comic adapted from a joke by Simoné Leigh De Klerk.

  1. Six panels. An assistant tells Rassie training starts at nine sharp. Nine comes and Rassie is still drinking coffee. He says he does not need a watch, then calls the players in — and the assistant’s own watch whirrs forward to half past ten.
