I’ve watched plenty of bad ones over the years but this must be the worst Welsh regional performance I’ve had the misfortune to see.

Not to be overly dramatic but… is that result in Cardiff a turning point for both nations

Is this a second string Cardiff XV?

An interesting question.

I hope so for Wales's sake

Very classy booing by the Ulster supporters

You've never seen a game from Ravenhill before ?

It is almost as continuous as a vuvuzela.

It's all very pantomime villain with the Ulster crowd, I wouldn't take offense.

Super try !

Some nice passing to tear the defense apart

Not offended. Just thought booing was a New Zealand thing.

Lowry is going to need some stiches ... and possibly a couple of teeth

Did he just tackle yer man's knee? Ouch!

Going to watch the Bulls game.

Good luck $harks.
Well done Ulster.

[Chilli]

Try Tambwe!

Sharks just don't look convincing in attack. They're in too much of a hurry, & a disciplined defense can hold them out, until they make an error, & cough up possession.

Problem is thst their 10 is crap.

Powder puff shark tackles

Ulster great value- much better to watch than the other Irish teams

Must try and get over to Ravenhill next year

I only caught the end of the game but they made Treviso look amazing.

[OomStruisbaai]

Fassi defense?

Everything dying with Bosch in attack it feels

For new viewers of Ulster. Form and prediction often goes out of the window at Ravenhill.

True, but I also think it is a validation of the decision to include the SA teams that the crowds and teams really get up for those games. Bodes really well for future seasons as the SA sides get more used to venues like this

Much more interesting than the Welsh teams coming over anyway.

[bogbunny]

Stunning try

[OomStruisbaai]

Sharks well on their way to a bonus point loss. There is no passion.

[fishfoodie]

Stunning try

Lovely bit of rugby; player gets a meter thru the defensive line, offloads, a couple more nice passes, & you've a try from inside your own half

[bok_viking]

Most of the Springboks in the Sharks team do not look like bok players for most of this season. I do not think most of them can claim to be on merit in the current bok squad even though they will be there. Extremely disappointing show by the supposedly best team in SA on paper.

Bulls let the Ospreys off the hook at the end of the first half. Considering the Ospreys pack have possibly 5 possible Wales starters, it must be worrying for them how they struggle against a Bulls pack without any current Springboks. Hopefully the Bulls can come up with their customary strong 2nd half showing.

I refer the learned gentlemen to my post above. As many English teams have found out over the years.

[fishfoodie]

Mapimpi should have backed himself there

Sharks seem to have poor halfbacks considering the quality they have elsewhere in the team.

[fishfoodie]

Finally a nice Sharks try !

... and like buses they arrive in two, & another super try, & the game is in the balance !

[bogbunny]

Great finish by the sharks.

Ulster switch off yet again

[Slick]

Really enjoyed that game

[OomStruisbaai]

Williams should have started. At least the Sharks show a bit of fight in the end.

Bulls will bag 5 and move 1 ahead of the Sharks on the log. Stormers will need a win tomorrow to get in the top 4.

Ospreys showing signs of actually playing some rugby
