Super Rugby 2018

The computer generated super imposed vodacom adds, that fills up 40% of the rugby field, are super irritating?

They aren't perfect, when the camera zooms in on the players you can see allot of stutter happening(if they are the vicinity of the bloody image).

No no.10s in this team, Tatekawa though has started his career at no.10 but has since moved to centre. Only one specialised winger in the team, the backline is stacked with centres. Matsushima is back in the team, brought back earlier than planned. Two quick scrummies. Good enough depth on the bench, but no additional locks, also seeing Hattingh being brought back earlier.

I don’t know, it is a capable team without depth in locks. Michael Little is a lowly rated player making his Super Rugby debut. Two, maybe three issues with the limited available selection. All the Sharks has to do is to control the 9/10 pair and to keep the pressure on Lemeki and Matsushima as these two will be go about their quick phases and metres carried.

The battle on the loose will be interesting, who will dominate? Wimpie is likely to replace Himeno and Lappies will come in on either 7 or 8. This are 11 changes to last week's team.
 
Naholo just bumped off three of our forward defenders for an individual run and try made for Smith.
 
Easily the best 40 minutes of rugby the Stormers have played this season so far!! Some superb passages of play, great handling, good phase play. Willemse having a blinder.

Defense has been a bit porous at times though and the lineouts continue to be a lottery. Also Duvenage over doing the box chip.
 
Eish but the stream today has been so breaky uppy ....... usual SS fare I suppose
