Sloppy first half but much better in the second.

Happy with that.

Werner Kok must be the nicest guy in world rugby. Glad he got the try at the end, he really gives it his all.

[_Os_]

Great second half, that's real Sharks rugby, maximum risk on attack, crunching on defence.

Strange seeing Eben in a Sharks jersey, he's Mnr.Kaapstad.

He is EXACTLY what the $harks needed. A big bruiser.

[assfly]

Indeed. It's been a long time since we had a bruiser in the 4 jersey. A looooooong time.

[OomStruisbaai]

Eben is a monster.

Was looking forward to watching the Glasgow game after the kids went to bed tonight, then Premier Sports tells us the score at half time.

There is nothing about this company that doesn’t piss me off

Embra looking better this week

Embra is running riot

[OomStruisbaai]

Oom Fester are you ready for the Bulls?

Much better 2nd half, seemed a bit stilted in the 1st. Benetton are a decent side who have been crushed, good stuff

Didn’t realise it was Munster v Bulls after, that’s a decent replacement

[Tichtheid]

That's a wrong decision, the ball was moved twice.

ffs this ref has been poor

I was a bit worried in the first half, they wasted so much pressure without turning it into points. Second half has been comfortable though.

[Tichtheid]

I really like Charlie Shiel, he needs to play more, his pass is the best available to Edinburgh

this was always coming when we saw the tackle stats in the first half, it tires the defence out

[Tichtheid]

mon laddies, lets make it 50

[Tichtheid]

Darcy, ya wee dancer

[Tichtheid]

[Tichtheid]

[Tichtheid]

Charlie Savala is looking the part

Oh yeah, still some work to do on the line out though. Could have been away at half time with a bit more precision.

Agreed, we need to get all parts of the game right for when we face sterner tests - we have Munster and Sarries in the coming weeks

It’s amazing how Ireland just seem to have a constant stream of intelligent rugby players who make so few mistakes. None of their teams at club or international level have any glaring weak links and they all know how to win.

They also have a constant stream of shite commentators, but hey ho

I think they could safely skip the water breaks tonight, the air is about 120% H2O as it is

?. First bit at least was serious. Watching Munster

[Tichtheid]

I'm not sure Adamson got the first call right, you can drive your player over the line, Shirley?

Anyway, try Munster

[fishfoodie]

Scarlets must still be cursing the day the let Beirne go

The best was an ex-Munster player whose name I think I remember but I don't want to get it wrong (cough, Frankie Sheehan? cough) - he was the players' agent after he retired - his commentary was hilarious

[OomStruisbaai]

Bulls are shite.

[Tichtheid]

Bulls are shite.

This is not even a vintage Munster side

[Tichtheid]

Beirne and Barclay won them that title

Aye, they were a brilliant set of players to have in your side

Bulls are shite.

Who is their backline/attack coach?

Wasn't a great half.

That's the big worry. They lost their passion. Maybe Coetzee on his way to Japan let them leaderless.

Should've gone with groot slaptjips, all the teams I've seen him coach knew what they were doing on attack, even Namibia.

[Tichtheid]

Woop, prop try

Legendary fatties try
