Nice. Dan du Plessis is such an improved player. Blommetjies does something right.

Here I was somewhat hoping to get a glimpse of the Embra game on the train whilst we change gauges, but no luck on reception front.

Likewise hoping to find somewhere showing the Sharks game is a bit much

I do like this ref; he communicates well, & isn't overly picky, & I was impressed that when he made a mistake, he just apologized, explained what he saw, & got on with the game.

Stormers look really out of tune. Somehow their backline is not clicking.

Love , love Dan . What a player

Glancing at scores on the web can see the BBC have got the wrong team name playing the bulls. Obviously it’s Zebre.

That’s some result for the Bulls. I don’t care who is wearing the Leinster strip, they just don’t get savaged like this. Ever. Very very impressive.

The travel has really had an impact on Munster. Stormers were unlucky to get them so fresh.

Big concern Bosch. He really has rejuvenated the Sharks.

Sharks are just going into the knockouts a better team than the Stomps.

Sharks out of the Champions Cup unless we win the URC? Andy Cap and Stransky awful on the comms regarding this, they clearly don't have a clue about the different URC knockout scenarios, or the rules for Champions Cup qualification.

Ref was a bit random, last decent attacking chance the Sharks had on the 70th minute, he gives a penalty for a knock at the base by the Sharks eightman. Replay shows a clean pick up.

I am really concerned if Bosch has a serious injury. Boeta just took a massive confidence knock and he took ages to recover from the last time he folded.

Can't blame the ref. That was incredible determination from Munster. It's great we didn't lose against them. But they finished very strong and we just held on.

None of this changes that the ref was random at times.

Glasgow vs Connacht, was a lot like the Sharks vs Munster match. Good first half, bit of a messy second, close finish.

Bit disappointed with that :sad:

I'd have preferred to have the win, & make HEC next year absolutely certain, even if it meant a long haul down to SA for the playoffs.

Realistically we ain't winning the league, but getting into the HEC means extra money next year, & the fans love to see the big names playing at the Sportsground.
