Eish! Hard weekend of rugby, Saarks and Stormers destroyed in quarters

I literally had to stop watching these games for my own health. 

Saarks, 

Did well to stay in the game and thought that Grant Williams had a blinder, until he decided to take a quick tap, conceded the ball and then a try followed. 

As for the Stormers, this was one game I gave up at 30 min, tuned back in again at 65 min mark and just lost the plot. 

For me Orie is an absolute useless. 

Dewbe is a coach killer, poor scrummed, missed so many jumpers and stuffed up our line outs and momentum. Should not go near a bok jumper. 

Jantjies, the worst 9 for some time now and needs to be dropped. 

Libbok misfired hopelessly

Willemse, got caught out so many times out of position. 

Senatla was another one that didn’t make any tackles. 

Not sure if it was travelling or what but I think the champions cup was a complete failure for the SA teams. 

Saru need to figure out better travelling and scheduling 

Makes Super rugby a walk in the park in comparison 

Toulouse 54-20 against Sharks, strange to say up until just after half time, Sharks were holding their own. Technically they weren't too bad, with flashes of good play but Toulouse flair in 2nd half overwhelmed them. Good rugby, but simply outclassed by French creativeness. As we have seen in past when French get it right there is very little to overcome them. My favourite player, Antoine Dupont 9 times out 10 was brilliant. If France get it together in world cup there will scant hope of defeating them. All in all despite the big loss entertaining rugby.

It does not match the performance from the team registered in the other cup.

Problems are many: one main is that the two games exposed the existing gap as soon as a SA rugby side tries to play rugby.

Contrary to last week, both sides tried to play rugby and it showed. At all levels, SA rugby are far behind.

Quota players from SA are a massive indicator when compared to their quota players from the North.

A lot to write about both games.

The morale of the story is that globalists acting in the North are a very destructive influence with their obsession to bail out SA rugby from their misery.

It will cost the North a lot, it will leave scars as northern interests are going to be crippled in the doing.

For nothing.

Our defense was poor in both games and we were physically overwhelmed at the break down. Incredible watching Baille turn  a huge man like Thomas the tank into a pretzel.

Once again we have to learn the lesson that there is no success for South African teams if we aren’t physical.

Have to agree Mozart, this year it looks like we have lost our physical dominance. But the French have a lot of imports and even bigger south sea islanders. Don’t think having a light pack helps. 

Orie couldn’t make a regulation tackling on on Norwel. 

Most of our big boys are playing for other countries. 

I also think that we haven’t planned our season well. Leinster is unbeaten but we’re in a good spot now. Top of the log with two games to spare. 

They can now focus on the Heineken cup and keep their squad fresh. 

But none of our teams other than the Stormers are in a good log position. 

So now they have to try to get a home quarter or it will be travelling again for the knock outs. 

I do believe Saru need to push for a better schedule.
