The Stormers didn't play too badly last night, they didn't have rhythm in the first half, but in the second half, it seems they were back.

IDK WTF is going on with Libbok since it seems he can kick properly anymore.

I hope Dan Du Plessis can get into the Boks (imagine him paired up with Am...)...
 
Du Plessis doing well but Esterhuizen and Kriel are above him in the pecking order.

Dweba surely needs to consider a move to prop or something. Still can't hit his jumpers.
 
Good win by the Stormers in the end but Ulster beat Edinburgh so they end in 2nd place and the Stormers drop to 3rd on points difference. So Stormers get a home QF but might have to travel for the semi's.
 
I see your point but my preference is still Am/ de Allende. If de Allende is injured I would pick Esterhuizen but sometimes he can be a liability - a potential yellow card. In a crunch game you must have your discipline in check. Another option might be Rohan Janse van Rensburg?
 
I can only imagine Kitsoff, the soutie that he is, turning around a few times saying "my fok vroumens" after the way that Holly blew the scrums.
 
Mike Adamson is on another level of incompetence.

He took away a winning opportunity from The Sharks by making up a knock on and stuck with it even though it was shown 2 times on the screen.

URC needs to get neutral officials. You can fly an official from Europe to officiate a game that a European team is taking part. I'm furious.
 
If you were not convinced that Irish rugby is better than SA here is some URC stats for this current season.

Irish Teams vs SA Teams.

Ulster - 4W
Munster - 3W | 1D
Leinster - 2W | 1D | 1L
Connacht - 2W | 2L

Bulls - 2W | 2L
Stormers - 1W | 1D | 2L
Sharks - 1D | 3L
Lions - 4L

Very sad picture when European teams can come to SA and win but when SA teams go to Europe they always lose.

New Bok coach: SA Rugby to heed advice from Rassie, overseas coach not an option - report | Sport

SA Rugby will take advice from its director of rugby, Rassie Erasmus, when deciding on the new Springbok head coach.

My money is on Stick, the reason is that Siya is likely gone after the WC (at 32 he getting old for an international flanker without talent playing overseas) and we need at least between the coach and captain a AA appointment. Then who will be the next captain till the next WC in 2027?

Lukanyo Am would have been my pick but at 29 is also on the old side and Steven Kitshoff will be 36 in 2027. Damian Willems maybe?
 
Good last round results in the URC from all our teams, apart from the Sharks who drew.
So the Q.F.'s look like this - :
