Newly-crowned DStv Premiership champs Mamelodi Sundowns were held to their third consecutive draw after their clash in Durban against Golden Arrows ended 1-1.
A second-half goal from Sipho Mbule was enough for Mokwena's troops to walk away with a point, with the young head coach crediting his side for a solid second-half showing but reiterated that they don't like not winning.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Rulani: I'm Sweating From The Second Half..." story:
"By the time we play the Champions League, this thing of rotating players will backfire. Our coach must keep the team in a winning spirit.
"I know people think Sundowns is fielding strong line-ups against all these sides we've played after we have won the league but you can easily notice that Sundowns has dropped everything and as a coach, you must not allow that.
"Especially when preparing for crucial games in Champs League. This is the same reason we failed to progress to semi's in the previous years because our coaches bayachoma (they brag) too much and they do that at a wrong time," says Cutter.
"Rulani please work on finishing and minimize missed chances, it's actually becoming a habit in each game, missing clear cut chances," says makhause(2).

Amakhosi boss Arthur Zwane has explained what has been the difference for the in-form Ashley Du Preez who scored in his second game in a row after getting Chiefs' only goal in their 1-1 draw to Marumo Gallants over the weekend.
The Stellenbosch forward has scored eight goals with five assists for the Glamour Boys in all competitions this season. Zwane mentioned that 'Slosh' has improved his link-up play and his ball retention.
Mangethe also lauded the 25-year-old for getting himself in good situations on the pitch and for being unpredictable.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Why Du Preez's Form Is No Fluke" story:
"Our coach is confusing sometimes, why bench Sithebe just because Samkelo was named a Man of the Match in the previous game in the absence of Maart?
"As far as I know, since you re-introduced Sithebe in that midfield we started winning games and getting that stability and eased pressure from Maart. If that's the case or how you do things then why not play Njabulo Ngcobo who also came and put in good performances and was named Man of the Match earlier this season? Favoritism will be the end of you coach," says shabanguntuthuko.
"There is no player in this guy [Du Preez] besides running at 360 km p/h until he goes out of the field. He can't play without using high speed which makes it easy for him to lose the ball and make poor decisions. He is only good to those who like running not futbol, he is not smart at all," says Cutter.
"Mangethe, you know football baba, there's improvement from the way he [Du Preez] was used play at his previous club and for the games he's played for Chiefs," says Mami@georgedale.
"Ashley is a good player the problem is the players he is playing with. Let me make an example, take him to Sundowns or Pirates those are the teams that have good players like Ashley.
"I assure you that you can see that he is good player. I am a Chiefs fan but my team is not doing well for the past seasons. Khosi for life," says mlekeleli.
