The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

That's not how it works. We get 9 week bans for fondling balls without evidence.

Everything about the Ethan incident is flipping infuriating!!

Personally I'm having a hard time getting over it.

Poor Ethan, he's undergoing surgery to repair his dislocated shoulder. Looking like 3-4 months out which pretty much wrecks his chances of being legible for the NZ tour!! FFS!! Seething!!
 
Edinburgh 33 Sharks 28

Siya Masuku out with what looks like a dislocated shoulder or a broken collarbone and Jaden Hendrickse stretched off the field with what looked like a serious concussion.

The Sharks, already comprehensive injury list, just added 2 more names.

A season of absolute hell!

So I think they are out now, no top 8 for them this year.

Sounds like Reinach is out for an extended period

It was close to a perfect weekend for the SA teams.

Benetton beating Leinster, Stormers and Lions bagging 5 points to the opponent's 0 and the Bulls picking up 4.

The only negative was the injuries to Hendrickse and Reinach.

If Reinach has torn an ACL it might be career ending.

Jaden looked to be a serious concussion.

Embrose has to be knocking on the door of a Bok call up now. His only dicernable weakness is his kicking game, specifically his box kicking.
 
U20 Boks won 48-21 against Argentina in the junior TRC.

They led 48 - 0 at one point. Argentina just could not tackle Ethan Adams. Nice that we have Markus Muller to play there too.

An indication of how poorly marketed the competition is.

And then we wonder why the stadium is a quarter full.

The SA CUP is worse. SuperSport is showing the games but hidden in the extra OTT streaming channels only and not even on their website so hard to keep track of the fixtures and standings.
 
Yay Baby Boks, they have won the Championship with a game in hand.
Hope the lower tackle rule never comes into the senior level
 
Very satisfying performance. Absolute dominance. Love it! When our school boy strength manifests in our U18/20 age group, it is a thing of both great pain and beauty.
