Not a cover, but find it almost uncanny valley to the original.

At least Williams should be back for the quarters, but Jaden will start of course.

Sharks only hope against Munster is individual players and Munster having an off day. Fully expecting to get reamed in the set piece, backfield play and handling.

Who are the weeg going to get back in next two weeks?

Is this confirmed Oom?

No?

Sharks get this and give Edinburgh an easier, but still impossible, tie

Difficult to over state how awful the Sharks, particularly the backs, have been.

Masuku going off is probably a blessing

Sharks intent on throwing the highest number of suicidal short balls in a match.

No intention of going through phases or planned attack

One of the things I've wondered when you hear the "we need to import more Kazakhs to offset our elderly population" is why no-one proposes policies (economic/social) that would encourage more people to have kids.

It seems like a strangely defeatist position whereby you are coming to terms with ...

Actually, given Sharks vs Scarlets, Stormers vs Cardiff and Munster vs Bennett on, should be within Edinburgh's porous hands to make the quarters?

I presume weegies will send c team to leinster at best, need to find a bookie with 70+ margin

SA backline looks tiny

Could do with Fassi getting binned, awful with every involvement

Sharks fucking dire in every aspect of the game, going to be another 30+ loss with a full strength team

Presume Eben got injured before the game, don't see him

Sharks with a full strength team for me to watch lose in person in Belfast, I will let Oom do the honours.

Ended my travels in the Caucasus to watch this, Plum better not fuck it up.

Just seen the rookie team for the last 16 tie.

Using best resources only to lose to leinster c at home. Then give up on another comp.

A proper game of two halves though.

I've been in Athens since Monday, only knew about the game when started seeing people kitted out.

@ulstermen

Are the east terrace seats any good? Are they even seats?

How the hell Ulster justifies £60-130 for non-goal stand tickets for a game against the Sharks is beyond me.

Just seen the pool for the junior world cup, absolutely brutal.

And Italy missed the pen was the closest I was to seeing them score

I honestly don't think Sutherland could have been worse. If he got carded it would have been better.

Is a shame, but with our scrum coaching probably better prospects elsewhere

Would have preferred loaning a youngster from the non URC unions. Has Scarra played this season?

Maybe someone more inclined to be in such wide positions can opine, but to me it seemed as though VDM was incredibly concerned about taking contact in his try. Thought he had acres of space, a small defender cross tracking. Thought he could have given Finn 5 metres more of give.

Really is disappointing how long Toonie's contract is.

2 pens in the 22 for the first time since? And a warning?

Really

Frustrating inconsistency in calls re people competing and then wfalling over by the scrum half

All these dumb penalties

Curry going off is encouraging from Scots perspective

Pity injury enforced

Odd knock on call, but anyway.

As usual, a lot more physically today, but Jordan and Rowe been good.

They never do that against us

Was coming to say that. Yeah there are a couple not starting, but really

Scotland have toured Argentina six times since 2008 and have hosted them the same number of times in November.

I don't know why other teams can't do it.

As you can imagine this is just a £££ exercise to help the Argies (it's their TRC game, I didn't specify). Tickets are north of £100, and I ...

Gatland is gone, right?

In which case I give Wales permission to start winning again (for this week at least)

There’s yer spirit of international rugby.

Not quite a Nov international, but Argentina are playing their home game vs South Africa in London. Some time in August

They played the wobblies in the same like 2016

Cameron Wright finally fucking gone.

I'm actually going to back Plumtree now, only way is up

Still a bit silly how Sharks could fill an entire A/B Bok backline.

Plummers really needs to do something with it. I do wonder why both Williams and Hendrikse are still around, must be happy with the lifestyle or time management, they would get £££ overseas that even $harks can't compete with.

Not ...

Dependent on offer may be in Edinburgh for a while, working in Gogar.

Amateur wise, any clubs to avoid? Unfamiliar with the club scene. Will probably base myself west way.

And that's the game
