Re: URC 22/23
Watched the Cardiff game in full. They handled the downpour (early in the game) so much better. BTW, the rain was so heavy, cameras could hardly pick up the ball on far side of pitch. Cardiff front five were superb in scrum & maul and when Sharks couldn't bully them there, they almost resigned from contest.
Carre at LHP was excellent as were half-backs Lloyd Williams & Jarrod Evans. But the stars of the show were Turnball, Young & Botham in Cardiff back-row, who owned the second half. Decent team Cardiff, despite missing 6 or 7 with Wales.
Really disappointed for Noel McCamara that Sharks crumbled so completely. They face Ospreys this weekend (5 pm Fri Viaplus 1) and who knows which Sharks team will turn up?

3 losses this season. Away to Bulls and us, then this game.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑November 28th, 2022, 9:33 pmSean Everitt sacked and Director of Rugby (Neill Powell) takes over. No mention of McNamara.
It's kinda reassuring about the ambition of the league that embarrassing defeats have sunk 2 coaches (Sharks and Glasgow).

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: URC 22/23
Ospreys scraping the bottom of the barrel to field a team against the Shark due to "illness" in the camp.
What's this "illness" all about, it seems to be very prevalent in visiting squads.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.
Re: URC 22/23
E.coli confirmed for Ospreys squad, only Cardiff have avoided being sick in Durban so far. Benetton and Munster go there in 2023.
Re: URC 22/23
And Cardiff the only ones to have won there too?
Dont Panic!

Re: URC 22/23
Will the URC CEO claim they picked that up in Wales before they left?!

Sbu Nkosi: South Africa winger found 'safe and sound', opens up on rugby 'pressure'

Poor fella was holed up at his dad's after falling mentally off the cliff. Can only wish him a speedy recovery.

Re: URC 22/23
100%. Really relieved that he has been found and has opened up, I thought that was going to end badly. It sounds like he was suffering severe mental trauma. Hopefully he can get the help he needs and begin to start feeling better about himself and about life.riocard911 wrote: ↑December 6th, 2022, 11:07 am Sbu Nkosi: South Africa winger found 'safe and sound', opens up on rugby 'pressure'

That's a sacking regardless of who the player is.
