Some respect for the Irish.

Prize money from the #ToyotaChallenge has been donated to the Heidedal Children’s Orphanage in Bloemfontein by the #EmergingIreland squad. The donation of 250,000 Rand/€14,000 will support the building of a new housing unit for the children.
 
Lool Stormers...

Won't be easy for Lions today. I think Ulster is just too strong.
 
Lions are vicious. If they can keep it up they can pull a win out of the bag here.
 
Lions look like real contenders to win the league.

Just one concerning thing I see from all the SA sides. Leaking tries constantly and at the wrong times just to cost them the win.

I don't remember Fassi's defense being this horrid

Yeah last week also. Very bad.

Also what is going on at The Sharks? On paper world class like a springboks side but they just can't get going. Non stop unforced errors and penalties.

If it continues like this they will be lucky to scrape a win here.
 
As a collective, our teams need to improve around the breakdown. The European sides are spoiling our ball, denying us a chance to attack quickly, which suits our sides more. In the meantime, they are not kicking the ball away as much as last year. Instead, they are kicking contestable or toward the line because the lineout isn't functioning (particularly for the Stormers).

Maul defence is not up to standard or the Euro sides have just upped their game in that department.

As for the Bulls, I actually had them to lose just because Munster were always going to be desperate as they now face Leinster this coming weekend so needed a win and the Bulls are still stuck with their travel bogey.

I now have to really consider who to back between Benetton and the Bulls this weekend for my superbru.
 
Let me guess. The fixtures that were scheduled here in ZA will now be played in the EU... :cautious:
