The strange thing about him is he doesn’t look like he’s gonna be any good. Hes the wrong shape, he looks slow and then he plays ……and he’s flippin brilliant! He’s me new favourite 🤩

Couple of fairly disappointing performances from guys who should be pushing hard. Larmour, Milne & Deegan haven't been great.

Working on preconcieved ideas of Sharks strength as opposed to what's actually happening.

Is McNamara the Sharks backline and attack coach?

Not a great advertisement for him.

Evens seems to have his own rule at the breakdown. Don't matter if you have hands on the ball and them holding on. He seems to think you have to lift the ball.

The difference in our attack with JGP at 9 is incredible.

Can we sign Williams from them? He's been excellent

(I know we can't really)

Makes no difference but into the head, surely should have been red?!

How is a shoulder straight to the hed a low degree of danger?

Evans probably thinks it means "low to the ground."

Blue Man wrote: May 6th, 2023, 11:44 am Based on the number of changes and the fact that the Sharks have some serious quality in their side, I think this will be a one score game. Hugh Rick selection given its a knockout game. Biggest concerns for me are Harry at 10 (if he good enough - we’ll find out this evening) and Frawley at 13 (I would invert the centers) as he has limited game time there and it’s a particularly difficult position to defend from.
I really hope the locks, Milne and Larmour put in big performances and challenge for a cup final squad place.
I honestly don't understand this viewpoint at all.

How exactly is it a 'huge risk' of a selection?

The risk is clear and obvious; not picking a full strength side for a knock out match. Surely even you can grasp that concept?
Apology accepted.

Game next weekend confirmed for Sat at 5.30.

If Glasgow win, it's a bit unfair to expect them to turn around in 6 days for a Euro final.

They obviously don't expect Munster to lose.

So comfortable, well done lads :D Very professional performance.

Great to see big Joe back and firing on all cylinders. Hopefully Larmour and Healy all ok and just flesh wounds.....

That's mad, Ted. It's as if URC couldn't give a monkey's about us and Glasgae winning European trophies
