2024 URC final Bulls vs Glasgow

[Chilli2]

Do any of you Sharks supporters know who the Natal Hooker was in and around 2003? Blond guy...

The only hooker I remember from that period was Lukas van Biljoen?

Puke Watson?

Saturday at Loftus sounds like it's going to be a proper jol.

Apparently 200 tickets left.

They are making it a massive viewing party for the Boks game at 15:00.
By the time the 18:00 kick-off comes around that crowd is going to be VERY rowdy.

[PCPhil]

Don't get the thinking on not having a free to air stream just for the final. Even the footie Champions League final has that and that is one event where people could cough up some cash for a single game.
Usual joined up rugby thinking of stopping the casual viewer from getting an interest.

Hopefully it changes

Real Shame that Stafford is injured - Glasgow's best player this season - Shuggie not a bad substitute though - Glasgow by 5

Great crowd In the stadium and outside watching the bok game

Looks brilliant

Can someone remind me why this isn’t done at a neutral venue?

Er, equal distance...Nigeria?

Paterson. Why use 10 words when 14000 will do?

The point I was making was how can there be a neutral venue. It would be a waste of effort.

Reward for finishing highest in the league, it's different when all the teams are from the same country as per France and England

Not if they decided at the start of the season. Of course a team from that chosen stadium could still reach the final

Yup, I know that’s the rules, just seems a massive advantage for a final

[PCPhil]

Yeah, fair point. I was just focussed on an SA team playing an NH team.

There used to be a destination final, there was some chat about it earlier in the week on the Ouija board.

If Glasgow hadn't imploded against the Lions this game would have been played at Murrayfield.

It's not Challenge Cup, it's URC

A neutral venue. What good chaps we are

[Tichtheid]

Bulls are running the show here

[Sandstorm]

Back to the actual Rugby: Sergal Petersen has really stepped up this month.

Try Van Staden

That’s of no help to the conversation at all

Anyway, doesn’t matter, back to the game. I expect Glasgow are going to run out of steam in the 2nd half

[Sandstorm]

13-0 25 mins

[OomStruisbaai]

Great Escom try.

[Tichtheid]

That major stat so far is 2-8 in penalties conceded

[Slick]

Glasgow need to get more accurate in everything they are doing

[Sandstorm]

That major stat so far is 2-8 in penalties

Glasgow will get a team warning soon

[Tichtheid]

it's usually only in the 22 when that happens

They’ll be back there soon

[Slick]

And Horne needs to stop kicking so much away

Really need to get to half time without another score

I disagree

[Slick]

That half looked absolutely bloody knackering

I disagree

- I presume you are taking about the second bit

[OomStruisbaai]

Glasgow show some guts. This game is far from over

[Sandstorm]

There’s a reason none of the Bulls tight 5 are Boks: they miss waaay too many tackles.
