The article discusses the underwhelming performance of South African rugby teams in the Champions Cup, highlighting a pattern of failure despite high expectations. It points out that teams like the Bulls, Stormers, and Sharks have not lived up to their potential in the competition, with specific mention of the Bulls' recent loss to Lyon, which was described as a "humbling" experience.
