Fun game so far.
Got to love Irish commentators though, a camera shot, from behind, from the other end of the pitch - “no, no knock on there”
Edit: and then “the crowd suggesting the tackler didn’t release before getting on that ball” - replay shows Koch coming in from about 5 metres away and having nothing to do with the tackle

All the money you made will never buy back your soul
I would have liked a closer look at that last try. I thought the scorer was well ahead of the kicker. I saw no replay to confirmSlick wrote: Sat Oct 08, 2022 4:51 pm Fun game so far.

Whilst I hesitate to say I like Kok on a forum such as this, the Sharks winger impressed me when Edinburgh played them last season.
He plays a physical game and seems like a good guy too, at least from his interactions with the Embra players in that game.

Bit of a tombola for the Irish commentators when trying to pick out Sharks players of colour

Such a shame how many injuries there have been this week as well in a Sharks game

You guys have to understand that no one does this to Leinster in Dublin in the league at this time of year, this is where they build up an unassailable lead at the top of the table.
The fact this game isn't over by 40 points at this stage is some going.

Really is just no point kicking the ball if we aren't going to even try tackle at the wings

It looks like the Saffa sides are starting the competition in much better condition than the NH sides

Richardson had a great game.
Conveyor belt of Scots talent is looking healthy.

Vok ref it's 7 vs 8.
Embra's run of games has been disappointing results-wise but they have been against quality opposition.Tichtheid wrote: Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:12 pm I really like having the South African teams in the URC, it means we will have to up our game, all of us, but that is no bad thing, imo.

Sharks really played well. They can hold their heads high.
Now the Bulls.
