Have you blokes won a few championships yet.

You couldn't do it the South.

Easy pickings though.

Isn't it

Posted: **Tue Dec 24, 2024 4:10 pm**

See Mchunu and Siya at practice featuring heavily.
Grant Williams just watching on the sidelines.
Could well be our CC side that did the business against the Bulls

If Siya is wanting to move to the Cape he needs to show them what they will get
Dylan Richardson in the mix and Trevor walking around with a mask on......

I'm sure this has already been said, but le Roux's behaviour was disgraceful. I know he's always been a bit of an "arm-flapper" which I have never liked about him, but it was particularly cringe on Saturday.

Coupled with White's awkward post-match interview, I can only conclude that there is a toxic environment at the Bulls that actively encourages this type of behaviour.

In fairness I don’t think the Saffers (players, not that idiot Rassie) are anywhere near the worst at this kind of thing and it needs to be stopped all across the game - even watching a local game over Christmas it was constant chat to the ref.

I’ve absolutely no idea why WR haven’t just stamped it out with a few cards, would be very easy. Even footie managed it pretty well at the last Euros

Reckon Cardiff 7 was lucky they didn’t have a closer look at that - straight arm to the head on the ground then a decent dig near the eyes

If we target their weak scrum, we can get on top and win some penalties. Libbok will miss them.

Sharks by 25 only.

Who is the back up back up place kicker? Manie will miss 7 or 8, Sacha will be off injured.

We had to cut down, Durban expected a full house against the Bulls and only 30,000 pitch up. You never know with the Sharks supporters.

You want me to get Sards quote? He said about 52,000? Sure he is a Shark supporter.

Can anyone explain why Leinster are allowed to join rucks from the side, to disrupt in defence and to seal off/ protect the ball in attack. It’s bizarre, happening right in front of the ref and he doesn’t seem bothered by it

They are very, very good at exploiting the fact that ref's really don't want to blow the whistle for every offense !

If Refs blew up every penalty, or free, at ever set piece, then games would last for hours, & we'd be back to three men & a dog watching games.

It's annoying that in theory the games Laws are the same at the top level that they are for everyone else, but that's not the reality.
