The round 1 clash of the URC weekend finally arrived this weekend.
Played at 14h00 in extreme heat will be a big factor.
Both teams need a win.

The $hark$ has been working hard on their defense. Embra B struggled to bridge them without success. Not sure if Libbok will make a difference to our attack. The Prince was kak.
The ex Shark Libbok is your team. Without him you are kak. You never understood this.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:51 pm The $hark$ has been working hard on their defense.

And Dan at 12 is your best backline weapon. He just doesn't get the same press and recognition.
Those 2 will have to be watched very carefully

The Stormers will miss Damian Willemse the most. He plays his best games against the ,$hark$. Putting Daan in space.
Where would you play him.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 5:39 am The Stormers will miss Damian Willemse the most. He plays his best games against the ,$hark$. Putting Daan in space.
Is he better at 10 than Libbok
Is he better at 12 than Dan.
I would prefer all your Springboks available because then there can be no excuses later.

Lots of comments regarding the Stormers coach and players from you. I've said it before and I'll repeat it here, you are a closet WP fan. Always have been.

Sad part of your statement is that the opposite holds true for $hark$.Sards wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:37 amVokkop of a union that punches above its weightLoveOfTheGame wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 6:14 amLots of comments regarding the Stormers coach and players from you.

" vastly different conditions teams can be confronted with from one week to the next in an inter-hemisphere competition that can see participants exposed to vastly different seasons within the space of a week."
"John Dobson has appealed to the relevant role players to resolve the challenge for SA teams travelling to Europe in EPCR competitions."
"With a number of top players not making the trip to Northern Ireland due to rotation, and others such as Springboks Steven Kitshoff, Frans Malherbe and Damian Willemse on a pre-determined break, the Stormers were up against it even before they left Cape Town."
"Fine, you can go on a Thursday after a game ban [a player] for three weeks, but it’s looking like an inconsistent product,” Dobson told reported last week.

For saturday I.ll put him in 15. Don't think Blommetjies is available. So it will be either Kade or Sasha.

$hark$ will miss Ox
Stomps can have him back. Surely 1 of our international scrum halves could rather play. Williams is second choice with the Boks. Cameron is just soooooo slow. Like Junktjies.
Looks like Ben and RJVR our centre pairing and Weekend Special at fb
Edit....with Junktjies playing Williams is also available

Cameron has never played for the Stomps, wash your mouth out! He's from Westville, that's where his swagger comes from.
