El Zócalo, formally named Plaza de la Constitución is located in the heart of the historic centre of Mexico City.

It has received foreign heads of state and is the main venue for both national celebration and national protest.

The Steval Pumas and Sharks XV are still the only teams in the Vodacom Cup with perfect records and held onto their positions at the top of the North and South Section respectively with solid away victories this weekend. They are followed, in the south, by the Argentinean Pampas, who’ve won three on the trot after a draw in the opening round, and in the north by the Leopards XV, who recorded an impressive win in Pretoria over the Vodacom Blue Bulls.

Former Springbok flyhalf André Pretorius was the Leopards’ hero as he kicked 23 points in the Potchefstroom team’s 33-26 win at Loftus B on Saturday afternoon. He landed eight of his nine attempts at goal to help his side to an unlikely victory after trailing by 14 points early in the second half.

The Sharks and Toyota Cheetahs were the big winners this weekend as the Southern Kings averted defeat in their first ever tour match in Australia against the team that topped the Vodacom Super Rugby standings.

It was a weekend of high drama in Canberra, Durban and Bloemfontein, where the only South African team that didn’t avoid defeat was the DHL Stormers, who went down to the Toyota Cheetahs in a typically tough derby.
