Some great skills that lead to the last three Stormers Tries. Great passes from Dandup and Marcel Theunissen's Try came from supporting Dyamani and finally the behind the back pass from Dyamani to Ruan Nel. Stormers are in the Final a second year in a Row.

I'm surprised Leinster picked so many players that played against the Bulls 3 week ago, a game I watched.
Tommy O’Brien, Will Connors, Max Deegan, Thomas Clarkson, Nick McCarth and Michael Milne
Munster's R.G Snyman out Tadhg Beirne in. Feketoea out Crowley at centre. Munster in with a chance.

Connacht's a good team. Stormers need to be alert. They love the hand off and milking penalties.

Pumas are without their 3 Try scorer wings Sebastian de Klerk, Jade Stiglingh and Stefan Coetzee. Etienne Taljaard is on the bench though. Sharks have Fassi on the wing and Marnus Potgieter on the bench. Both played against Leinster last week. It's a strong Sharks team but Stonehouse will have the P...

Looking at the schedule one can understand why the boks built a two squad system. Firstly, the 8th and 15th of July. Logistics. Only two squads or a mix of the two squads can handle.. Secondly, the 5th of Aug. warmup is an opportunity to play the second squad again. Thirdly, the 19th and 25th of Aug...

Thanks the breakdown helps a lot to understand the level of opposition. With the Sharks it's easy. The team you played was the Sharks URC team and now that their URC came to an end they also become the Sharks Currie cup team which up to now was a parallel running competition in which the better team...

Doris lads, ridiculous Him, Porter, Furlong in the same pack. And Sheehan Very very impressive from Leinster.

Prize for slowest winger of the day goes to the Bulls 11. Did I hear Kriel? Was that Jesse Kriel? Dave did exactly the job expected of him today. Well worth the pick.

Would it make any sense in SA to have promotion and relegation from the SA shield? Don't know the story re. setups and finances. Lions have been fairly poor.

Sharks are missing their captain, their best player, their halfbacks and several others. Bring them back in along with Plumtree and they'll be a very tough prospect next season.

I think his input to the Springboks (via Neil Powel) will be valuable when boks play the ABs in the WC probably in the QF but I doubt they'll pick him as head coach.

I’m very aware of that . However there’s been a lot of posts in the past about these schoolboys in SA and their times which seem disproportionately quick for their age .

Big deal - if they are running close to 10 flat at that age they should be top international athletes a few years later . Instead they effectively disappear. In the NCAA (US college championship) 100m final last year, there was one South African and he ran a 10.26, finishing 8th. Same guy is also t...
