second QF where the match has been pretty one sided.

Hopefully Glasgow will beat Munster, don't care about the margin.

Expect Leinster to ease through against Sharks.

Expect a Leinster v Stormers final

Stormers win 33-19

Almost flawless from the home side.
Bulls didn’t get out of 2nd gear, tackled into the ground.

Stomps remain an overrated team, they were never tested with any inventive play by the Bulls who just bashed away all match.

Goosen is a fraud, Boeta Chamberlain is much better.

Stormers pootjie Bulls again. Dan Doep my MOTM. Very underrated. Kl Arendse the Bulls best player.

Now for the Sharks!

I'd say a lot are holding onto their money for the Final, or the HEC final.

Too many games, & too many Euros per ticket !

Doris also dropped his head. However we’re in Dublin and kittens must be protected at all times.

Yeah, its a good game to take the kids to as well, with a nice day, & the tickets easy to get hold of.

Should also say, the only reason this isn't being played in the RDS is that the Boss is playing a series of gigs there

Only bottom tier up for sale. Probably a cheaper rental as a result and at least the crowd is compacted.

Scrum is doing well, backline can do something with some time and space. One half to play. Still in with a chance.

Leinster haven't seemed to get out of 2nd yet, Sharks org is awful. Mapimpi defending tight channel when Potgeiter is on the field, Mapimpj taking short angles against best team in the league. Poor defensive spacing against second receivers.

Lackluster tackles from Notshe, Fassi and Mapimpi, and poor carries from the locks.

Sharks need bounce of the ball in order to get into this

They don't look coached other than in the set piece and first phase. We're fucked.

Agreed. Amazing depth of squad and still everyone knows the plan and sticks to it. If you make a mistake, it’s 7 points. Done.
