I wish Lions management can wake up. The team is in total shambles. 5 losses in a row and 10 losses in a row vs other SA teams. Sad to see your team doing so poorly.
With the local Cronyism in the rugby unions it takes about 10 years for the old management to die off. One bad season isn't enough
 
I've basically lost interest in super rugby since we got kicked out. Just give the trophy to the Crusaders and be done with it. :D

Well it's been a boring game so far. Nothing really showing that Crusaders are the top team.

Their derbies are usually tight affairs. Looking at how both are playing I'd still back them to beat most in the URC.
 
Well, quite the spanking in the end for the Crusaders, especially given they were playing home.

I see Google still has the original Crusaders logo.

Once again poor rugby from The Sharks putting me to sleep. Zero consistency from this team.
 
Watch any game Ulster play, they suffocate the opposition at every contact point and breakdown. Always slow ball against them.
 
Ulster fly all the way here get 4 tries and going to win this match The Sharks run around on the field like headless chickens embarrassing the fans with poor maul defence and defence over all. No attack at all. Just stand around a ruck and box kick into nowhere.

I wish The Sharks doesn't make the top 8. I will be happy with that.

The difference is Stormers appreciate N Fouche, the replacement for Malherbe. He is deemed good enough even when Malherbe is there, by his coach.

Everyone feels they are part of something and valuable.

Foe the Sharks it seems the players know they are "secons tier".

Looking good for Ireland and more bleak for SA compared to last season.
 
Blitz Boks lost against Uruguay. Have we really reached a point in our 7s rugby where we can lose to anyone no matter how low they are ranked. Very sad. We used to be unbeatable and only the top teams can manage a win against us. Since that first lost against Ireland things went backwards with Spain, USA, GB and now Uruguay managing wins against us.

It’s been less embarrassing to be a Stormers fan these last couple of years.

Is DSTV showing the Los Angeles 7's?

Blitz Boks lose against Ireland again....

We managed to scrape through to the 1/4's by the closest of margins due to point difference.

Poor performance by the 7's team. We have really gone down in standard this last while.
At last a win for the Lions, wonders still happen. :ROFL:. tough luck for the Sharks.

I said it before. Everyone is on the up but we are on the downward trend. It's sad but we are fair game for anyone right now. Only the second tournament for Uruguay and they beat us. It's not a good look. Neither is the absolute hiding that Samoa gave us.
