He was wasted at the Bulls, we bought him and fixed him. Same with psdt and so many others.

Sad for all this Saffer trolling specifically Sards.

We should appreciate all our teams winning and shoot up the log.

Posted: **Sun Mar 13, 2022 5:29 pm**

Vok that was the try of the season by Senatla.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2022 5:28 am**

Damn I fell asleep during the match last night. Very busy weekend.

Congratulations to Stormers. Was always going to be a W with Zebre propping up the bottom of the log but that was a good victory. Congratulations to all the South African sides. Full house. Cardiff look quite poor too like Zebre. I expect a full house of points from Stormers next match. Same for Sharks vs Zebre. Lions have Munster so a real tough one. Expect a loss here. Bulls have Scarlets and better be sharp. I don't expect any changes in the position of the Saffer sides after the next round.

Sharks in 6th with 31
Stormers in 8th with 29
Bulls in 10th with 27
Lions in 11th with 17

Edinburgh are 5th with 39
Sharks have a game in hand but even with a full house of points won't leapfrog them. Best possible after next round 36 for Sharks.
Stormers have a game in hand over Ospreys and I point difference. So could get level .
Bulls need a bonus point to draw level with Conaught.
Lions won't advance any further

Edinburgh and Glascow slug it out for honors and stand in Sharks way. Both of them on equal points of 39

The Lions and Bulls MUST win. The $hark$ and Stormers need their help to get higher on that log.

Lions have Ulster and Stormers the weekend after. Tough one for both sides

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2022 5:44 am**

Great weekend for the SA teams. They've shown that playing them in SA will be difficult.

Credit to the Stormers too, for playing in a smaller stadium. Much easier to watch than the rest of the games, looked like a better atmosphere too.

The Stormers played against the school of the blind but the other teams defense need some work this week. Lions defense was just good enough. Luckily for them the Cardiff player had like Bismarck a brain explosion and cost them in the end.

That was just plain mental from Bismarck. Totally unnecessary. Could face a long ban.

tbh I dont think he cares...they pulled him away from his farm where he was quite happy ......

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2022 12:09 pm**

Oh vok. The Sharks are topping all the Saffer sides for the second week in a row.....

Nothing on social media praising the Sharks. No arrogance from the Sharkies. Just business as usual.

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2022 12:25 pm**

I bloody enjoyed the URC this weekend. So great to be playing against new opposition. It'll be great when crowd numbers increase.

It's nice when our teams are winning, will be great for morale and momentum heading into the playoffs.
But still a lot of room for improvement and we'll have to improve for when the other teams get their international players back.

Absolutely. I'm sure most, if not all, of our teams were quite realistic about our chances in our first season. But with a couple in the hunt for knock-out games, it's a good start.

It's taken an almighty long time for him to come good. Same as Willemse. Who took 50 games to admit he is a 12. So yes well done Senatla.

He missed out Cyle Brink that is getting his URC debut at no.7

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2022 10:56 am**

I've been impressed by Canan Moodie. 19 years old and 1.9m tall. He's a deadly finisher.

Well the Bulls changed 10 from the Wed. game, so they might make it. Strange to be in such an empty stadiym. But good to be at a live game again
