Just waiting for the Sharks to go to sleep

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

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 confirm

Wondered the same.

Anyway, best half by an SA team this round.

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.

We have lots of Kochs in Scotland, but there is a phlegmy sound to it, rhymes with loch.

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

Posted: **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.

Cmaan Sharks

Really making silly mistakes

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:20 pm**

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

The woman can't tell the difference between Williams and Fassi.

Great individual try, terrific pace

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:27 pm**

Worst case for Sharks has to be a penalty try

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:34 pm**

Excellent kicks to the wings

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:37 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:41 pm**

Fair play, that's good rugby from the Dubs.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:43 pm**

$hark$ now losing the plot.

Lots of space on the wings for Leinster

The second half again

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:48 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 5:48 pm**

Leinster are really good at using kicks to break the advantage line and scoring tries.

I think Leinster had a say in the proceedings too.

wow, that's another beauty from Sharks

That's the end of Abrahams' evening

Difference between the Sharks player accepting his red and shaking hands and Sexton acting the cunt..

Very entertaining game, & that always takes two sides

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

Leinster really have done well to avoid scrums

Vok ref it's 7 vs 8.

Embra's run of games has been disappointing results-wise but they have been against quality opposition.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2022 6:04 pm**

Great crowd on a great evening on a great game.

URC is a fantastic competition. There are still lots of rugby left.
