Stormers are rubbish without their Boks. Dobson being touted a potential future Bok coach but the mark of a good coach is what he does with average players. Dobson aint it...

Having said that, once again we have a fixture where only 1 side is getting their fair share of the 50/50's.

They weren't too bad, just made stupid mistakes. (P.S you could say that about all the SA teams)

Clearly missing Dan DP at centre, Roos is now overrated (where's Dayimani), wtf was Loader doing at centre, and Jean-Luc fudging all the kicks...

It happens with Evans, if I remember correctly he officiated the Munster game at CPT last year (watched it myself at the stadium), went the same way...

Yeah, Benetton are a tough side to turnover at home. Stormers played enough rugby to win but made enough mistakes to lose it too.... frustrating to watch.

Maybe Dobbo blooding new players? Very much a 2nd team.
 
I see Nohamba playing 10 for the Lions tonight. I bumped into him at Jeppe recently, during craven week. The guy is tiny!!! Child like...

This URC season is really frustrating. The ZA teams are really poor. Like really poor and against what was previously easier opponents.

The Sharks should have dealt with Zebra now they only have difficult fixtures.

They were expected to deal with Ospreys as well. They been atrocious!! Yes, missing their Boks and have a chunk of injured players too... They will be a different beast once they home and have a fully fit and full strength squad to select from. Hell man, URC is quite a brutal comp...
 
Zebra's W last night breaks a 28 game losing streak!!

Also it's the 6th time in 12 seasons that both Zebra and Benetton have won their weekend fixture...

Don't make me more depressed...
 
Nohamba player of the match, what do I know?!! Pffft....

Scarletts another side with a stellar home ground record, so a very good win for the Lions!

Ulster next week though, going to get pumped!

It really is shocking. I'm starting to think I'm looking at the matches woth my biased spectacles on but ZA teams are getting zero of any 50/50 calls at all.

I think it's a tad harsh. Needs better forwards and that really only comes with a paycheque or with experience.
