Lions/Bulls should be fun to watch
Stormers are in for a hiding, Sharks probably too

Hmmmmm... don't forget the European clubs are without their internationals. That will hit Leinster hard, despite their squad depth. I fancy Sharks for a W against Cardiff...

Lions/Bulls I'm seriously considering going to the park. Just a case of can I muster the energy to negotiate a 30k plus crowd?

I missed that the 6N players are already in camp. As you say, that hits Leinster quite badly and should give the Stormers a decent shout at a result

@sand_man are you at the game?

20 mins in and I'm calling it already: Cameron will be MOTM

Edit: or not. I'd hardly sent this and he went off.
Edit 2: and now he's back. I have no idea how that's allowed, but I'm not complaining. I love watching the kid play.

I faded last minute.

Ticketpro threw me a dummy! So many blocks indicated 'sold out'. I was anticipating a 30k plus strong crowd. Wasn't in the mood for mingling so didn't go.

What Ticketpro didn't indicate is how many of those "sold tickets" are season ticket holders, who might or might not attend. Seems a lot of season ticket holders don't actually attend.

A mate I was planning to go with reckons there were open seats all over the place. He was in W5 block, which is prime, halfway line, main stand. Says driving in and out was a doddle. Well behaved crowd of mixed demographics! Great day out! I'm pissed I didn't go! And I'll never again use Ticketpro was a reference point of how well attended an event will be...
 
Ulster fielded a second-string team against Zebre and lost at home. You just can't field a second-sting team and expect results and the same goes for the ZA teams. Sometimes it's forced but I think our coaches need to find a way to better rotate players a bit to get the best results.

Did they show it from the side?

I just tuned in now and in the highlights they showed it only once from the back.
It seemed to be about 5 meters forward.
 
OK, 6 Nations back with a bang!

France drilled Wales 43-0.

Today's games -:
* Scotland v Italy - 16H15 SA time, Go Italy!! :laugh:
* Ireland v England - 18H45 SA time. Don't like either but we can't let Ireland get back to the No. 1 ranking, so Go England!!!
 
Everyone knows how good Du Pont is right. He is a really good player but the way the commentators get an orgasm each time the camera just briefly shows him is getting tiring.

Look look at Du Pont but he doesn't even have the ball for Christ sake. It's disrespectful to the rest of the players in my opinion.
 
The Soap Dodgers must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel if they named that ghastly piece of garbage Itoje as captain :sick:
