The only way Ulster can beat them is to open it up. Play a Stormers gameplan. The Sharks defense is kak. They get cricket scores against them.

How did that work out when we met this year......oh I forgot. We beat the Stormers with our C team

How many log points for that victory?

I am finished with Sards. You can sort him.

[Sards]

A game for Stormer supporters is meaningless if they lose....

Ulster are averaging about 40 points a game so far this season

Well Duanne Vermeulen will be valuable (double his money) worth to Ulster.

That's the difference between Soup and URC. We play against excellent vokken Saffers.

What might count against Ulster is how much they exerted themselves last week in the high veldt. Can see Sharks finishing the stronger.

Sharks are inconsistent. Brilliant one week poor the next. Let's just hope it's a cracker like the first 60 in the Leinster/ Sharks game.

Ulster rugby making friends

Love this about sport. Making friends. Ulster have been training at Northwood school and shared appreciation after

[Sards]

I see Keo has Stormers smashing Cardiff

[Sards]

Come on Saffer sides. We need some victories this weekend.
1 out of 4 last week was a blemish

[Sards]

He's a Shark now ouboet

Some rumours that Glasgow and Ulster aren't able to put out teams this weekend.

[OomStruisbaai]

Frans Malherbe will become the most capped Stormer player , passing Schalk Burger

“What Frans has achieved at the age of just 31 is incredible, if you think about some of the players who represented this team before him.

“He is a great example of a top team man and just his presence in the squad this week has given us a lift,” he said.

Suzi strikes again - e.coli or so the rumour mill is suggesting

[GrahamWa]

Not rumours any more Glasgow and Ulster both postponed.

[PornDog]

That sucks - Sharks Ulster was the tie of the round.

Probably be rescheduled for the 6 Nations window ?

Cook overdid it with the cough ‘food seasoning’ last night.

[Sards]

You are shitting me......

I was so looking forward to this match.

That's a terrible injustice.

I want to see those sicknotes

Derbin is famous for their curry. Camouflage off meat.

Bullegaan skerp wees

[OomStruisbaai]

Duvenhage class

[FalseBayFC]

Jake White is a shit coach. There I said it. Over-rated. Just a tiny bit better than Sean Everitt.

[OomStruisbaai]

Zakkie brought some fire. Bulls get the bonus point.

[Sards]

Very proud of that second half comeback. Rubbish first half had me , and Jake I am sure, worried . Well done Bulls.

Mind you. If I recall Benetton is always strong in the first half and just not enough depth to carry the 80 minutes

[OomStruisbaai]

For a bit perspective in 2007 Duvenhage played u19A for Paarl Gim, Zak Burger played u10A for Kleingim.

That's amazing. WP players playing for other teams. Nooooo.
Shocking

[Sards]

It's criminal that we are robbed of the Sharks and Lions games.

Weather look great

[fishfoodie]

Happy days

[fishfoodie]

At least with the 4G pitches at this time of the year, you've a better chance of a clean, completed scrum.

[fishfoodie]

Feck sake, a bout a kick tennis breaks out, & TOH ends it with a nothing kick, but the Connacht defense is all over the place chasing kicks, & Scarlets get gifted a try

[fishfoodie]

Scarlets young SH is getting a bit of a schooling tonight. He's made a few costly mistakes, & he looks like he's not used to the pace of game yet.

[OomStruisbaai]

Scarlets holding on. Weather now bad.

[fishfoodie]

16 - 11 HT

I think Connacht can kick on in the 2nd half & secure the BP

[Chilli]

It's criminal that we are robbed of the Sharks and Lions games.

Yeah, all 27 people who bought tickets sre totally deflated.

[fishfoodie]

36 - 14 FT in Galway

I don't think I've ever seen this toothless a Scarlets side in attack before. I know they've a load of injuries, but they were gifted their only try, & the rest was just penalties.

[Tichtheid]

Good win for the Wesht.

[handyman]

It's criminal that we are robbed of the Sharks and Lions games.

Why?

[handyman]

Jake White is a shit coach. There I said it. Over-rated. Just a tiny bit better than Sean Everitt.

Why can't the saaks money buy a decent coach?
