2020 Super Rugby Unlocked / Currie Cup
At least we aren't getting a hiding...that victory was completely against the odds . Credit to the Sharks for pulling through. Saddies to the Cheetahs...now go moer the rest of the teams.

Wife seems to be surprising me a lot lately. This was a surprise dinner date.
But yes I am glad I can decide whether to watch it or not
What an absolute clusterfuck of a game. Shit from both sides and absolutely horrific refereeing.
Sharks have way too many average players. Libbok is a disaster of a fullback. Buthelezi totally anonymous all match, thank goodness Notche came on when he did. Dylan Richardson is a penalty machine. Kok was a shambles tonight. Nohambe has to sort his shit out. Bosch's boot saved us blushes, but he has to start attacking the line again.
Cheetahs try was such a forward pass it was insane. But then they should have received a lot more penalties at the scrum.
Cheetahs are a different side without Steyn and Pienaar.

The kwota ref obvious thought the Sharks had more black players then the Vrystaat.
Werner just doesn't do it for me. Another 7s player not cutting it in 15s. Dylan just needs to get his technique right. Everything else is there...we are poaching a lot of ball. Bosch...ja well. Buthelezi. Don't know what's going on. Notsche has left him for dead...I had so much hope for Buthelezi. Libbok is only there because Fassi is injured. And there are no other real options with pace.....which is how the Sharks like to use their backline. But yes....Libbok is a couple of steps down from Fassiassfly wrote: Fri Nov 06, 2020 7:06 pm What an absolute clusterfuck of a game. Shit from both sides and absolutely horrific refereeing.

Why would you moan about Tarzan? Vok knows.
Because he does not measure up to standards yet. He is still new in the side. But he needs to up his game.
How did you rate Bosch's performance ouboet.
I just watched the highlights.
7s converts are hit and miss. There are many that never made the transition. Kok is a very skillful player, but I don't know why things aren't clicking for him, perhaps wing isn't his best position, or he's not being patient enough and is trying too hard.

vd Mest was poor last night. He play an important physical role for the Sharks but still need to learn about the borders. Will get there with experience.
I feel for the Cheetahs. They made many mistakes but then I expected it because they haven't played for three weeks.
They will be back.

Bulls will win the throphe today. Can't see the Lions stop them.

You put the kiss of death on them again this week.
If you want to do that please do it to your own team.
Cheetahs were unbeaten before last night. I will take that victory.
Ja ouboet. Second match MOTM. Same as in Superrugby where he consistently got it. Any doubt about Bosch's credentials now.....still think Willemse deserves to be a bok more than Bosch?

Impatient is a good way to describe the first hurdle he needs to pass. Very poor under the high ball as well, but probably another symptom.assfly wrote: Sat Nov 07, 2020 3:19 am7s converts are hit and miss. There are many that never made the transition.

He saved a try at one point by making a tackle, then a few offloads/fumbles later run back to take down the final man. Love that energy.
The current tempo from the Sharks is way too high and hurting Nohamba and Louw's games. Libbok is rubbish.

Bosch has a massive boot, one has to admit. Won them the game yesterday. That clearance from inside his own in-goal area to the halfway line... resulting in a Penalty there.. two kicks for crossing the field. 3 points. And the last one from 60m... not bad.

Stormers taking their rightful place on the log.
Gelant deserved MOTM.

Congrats to the Bulls, they are the unlocked Champs.
The CC will be a different story. Still a marathon ahead.
This weekend match between the Cheetahs vs Stormers will be the clash of the weekend. Must win for both teams.
Cheetahs will be back at their very best. Cheetahs by 13

Only saw the first half but that is the best I have ever seen Gelant play. Great to see, let's hope he keeps it up. Not sure if Willemse improved in the second half but he was dreadful in the first; he has completely lost his head and needs a break from that 10 jersey.
The Bulls were finally pushed by another team, but still came through. Marco van Staden has to be a in the mix for the Boks by now. He's just incredible, game after game.

Prinsloo and du Plessis start to perform now.
Stormers dominate them with the forwards, line outs and scrums.
Cheetahs will be a big test, and then the Sharks in Durban.
Stormers have a young team, lots to learn

Suppose Koisi, Sergeal & Senatla will be back this week.
The knock-on in front of his own posts whilst trying to clear a kick was horrific. Swiftly followed by a pass directly into touch. And his kicking.OomStruisbaai wrote: Sun Nov 08, 2020 5:35 am
