Great match. Ulster feeling the thin air a bit towards the end. Lions are doing a terrific job with the squad they have. Youngsters and journeymen mostly. E Tshituka and Franke Horne so good today. SA loosie stocks now overflowing. Also watched the Lions - WP U21 semi-final at the same time. Nico Steyn the Lions scrummie is a serious prospect. Went to Glenwood just like Jaden Hendrikse. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the Boks in the next couple of seasons.

I have to admit that I was very sceptical about SA teams joining the league.

But now I a big fan of their inclusion.

They are all quality outfits and really bring an extra dimension and make the competition much more meaningful.

Yeah agree 100%. Superrugby at the end was tough to watch. Loving the URC.

Hyron Andrews is the least physical lock to ever play rugby. He goes into contact with less impact than Curwin Bosch.

Turner does get the yips sometimes. Today he has 3 locks including Richie Gray to hit but it's not doing any good.

Eben is having a massive influence in that.

It suits him to be a Shark

I'm not so sure, the ball has gone through the jumper's hands for what should have been a clear catch twice, and there has been two overthrows.

Turner does this a lot.

Good try, but like the first try the defence just disappeared.

in fact the replay showed nice attacking lines and drawing of defenders, or it did until the feed dropped out

Good maul defence from Glasgow there.

They need to tighten up the basics

It is just lovely to see the boys passing and running a backline move again. South African rugby has been dismal like this lately.

So are you missing Bosch kicking every fucking ball away or not?

No. Boeta started well last year as well and then went into meltdown over his kicking. Missed a sitter tonight again. Let's see if he keeps his head in the game. This is a completely different Sharks team with Etsebeth. Fantastic to see his influence in the lineouts. And around the park. I think he has found his home.

The Sharks emblem has been changed. Sharky is no longer wearing his classic Natal jersey with a white stripe, his fin has also moved. I didn't give permission for these changes! It's like my man is running around naked.

Sharks do actually miss the option of Nohamba's goal kicking when just Chamberlain playing

Pretty sure that was a shriek from Fassi? Awkward ankle in the tackle?
