Man,


Im just about to get into this comp after a leaker weekend. The bools managed to finally get a hard fought win.


The guppies found their bite and the Stormers wasn’t just all huffing and puffing. Hard for the lions, however, securing a draw.


I just can’t figure this comp out. Where is the momentum, the excitement, what we’ve seen are team being tactical and throwing games.


Now it takes a break and we are on to the 6 nations.


I think they should ply the league games until the 6 nations. Then after the 6 nations have the knockouts of the league and finals. Have a mini break and get the European cup off the ground. Have proper pool games. So what if teams play each other from the same comp. For some reason England and France gets 8 teams. Then we have that side show comp, nothing makes sense.


wonder if we the fans can hatch a plan and talk some sense into the the rugby admin to get us excited

Brother

im still trying to work out how all these fuckin competitions fit together.


I just watch matches hoping the SA teams win.

All we are seeing in these non knockout games is the local teams winning and the visiting teams not showing their cards, with a few rare exceptions. If not for interest in individual players who are Bok contenders it would all be as dull as dishwater.

The biggest issue is the continuity...it's disruptive...

They should dump the URC and just have one European competition modelled in a way that the sides all play each other


6 x English clubs


6 x French


4 x Irish


2 x Welsh


2 x Scottish


2 x Italian
