In this professional sport world of today nothing counts if you are sponsored.
Pity.

Thinking of sponsorships and the monetization that ruins the direction of sporting codes, I can't help but think of Captain Amazing from Mystery Men...
And Wayne's World...
Wotsa score please
They lost 17-7...got carded twice in short succession., game over...
but the Sharks beat Bordeaux very well in the Heineken Champions Cup - 32-3
Lions kit was lost by the airline they used. Away kit clashed with Stade hence the reason they used that kit.
Well it was something different for sure.
...thanks for the info.
Lions were crap
Coetzee at 15 was pathetic as was Landsberg at lock
Alberts needs to retire
Lombard at 10 was piss poor
Lyon vs Bools...7-0
Bismarck looking like a 80's TV police detective ...or porn star...
10-0
38 yo Bissie being a real nuisance on the deck...
17-0
Bulle is K@K vanaand.

Haha
Why the fuck did the Bulls not select their best side given the importance of the game
They needed a point to automatically qualify for the last 16
Fucking Jake is a prime idiot
Yes he was not there but he makes the selection calls
On a positive note I really like Ruan Vermaak at 4 for the Bulls. Two big physical games in a row for him now
I knew he was good, I liked the look of him at the Lions but they hardly used him
Whole day of rugby today...with the SA sides in the Heineken, the competition has become much more interesting for me, even if the SA sides are not involved.
Sharks struggling against Quins...21-8 after 25m, it's raining penalties against them.
21-13
21- 15
24-25
Etzebeth haha what a try!
24-22
Halfway
29-22.plenty points
Daar groet my krag....tot sesuur.
Leinster vs Racing is quite a good game...Racing haning on 7-5, but one feels the dam is going any time.
7- 10...Racing not dead yet.
12-10
What a kick Gelant!!!
Racing can't stay down...great perseverance!!@
lekke WiePie!!!!
Well done Stormers....Happy to see Jean luc du Plessis back....impressive start after long layoff....Dan du Plessis is growing in stature and a great 12.....Roos also showed his strength....what,s happened to the bulls? Compared to last season, there is something off....smart try from Eben
Roos is just a different animal.
I saw Wolhuter starting for tje Stormers in two games and then vanished from sight due to injury, Liked what I saw of him last night.
Roos when he came on from the bench was huge in the game.
All 8 URC teams through to the last 16 as compared to 5 Gallagher Premiership Teams and 3 Top 14. Bodes well for the URC as a league.
If Munster pull off a win today which is unlikely Stormers will be playing the Bulls at home in the last 16.
If Toulouse beat Munster which is likely than its Bulls will have to travel to face them in the last 16.
Stormers will then either have Munster or Montpellier at home.
Most likely the Sharks will drop a position today after the Edinburgh Saracens match and will most likely have the Ospreys at home who I suspect will also drop one place toady.
You would fancy Stormers and Shark to make the quarters but I think the Bull won't go beyond the last 16.
Stormers has got a flyhalf headache.
Libbok, Kade, Jean Luc, Sasha, Willemse.
For years we had to suffer with Peter Grant or Chris Russouw. Now all of sudden we have to bring 4 flyhalves into the match day 22
Monster making a game of it.
Count the Bulls out at your own peril.
I hope the bulls can get there form back....they might also be missing the leadership from Marcelle Coetzee....won't count them out either.....Lions and Sharks are also still in with a chance?
Steep hill for the Bulls, but they pulled it off vs Leinster in Ire last season...
Bulls have talented players....Grobbelaar is my favourite....Jake hopefully have some good plans to get Bulls back on track...
Jake is a fucking idiot who keeps selecting under strength sides - no more so than the all important game this last weekend where the Bulls needed a result to qualify for the last 16 in the Champions Cup
If a coach can’t work out which of the two tournaments to prioritise he should fuck off
The Bulls were crap over the weekend, their scrum got destroyed and there was far too much possession conceded through poor handling or aimless kicking
The Sharks were bloody disappointing against Quin’s
Stormers did us proud, with the Lions only just managing to do the same, conceding a massive first half lead
The sharks were not on there game but Thomas was solid in the scrum I thought....really getting better @ Tighthead....should get more game time in bok games....Vincent koch is not necessarily better.
Agreed Thomas is a great tighthead and better option than Koch, given he is younger and great in effecting turnovers
Too many teams to follow. But also scary to think how good these teams have become with the advent of professionalism.
A B team Exeter team can beat the boks a side.
A off coloured French team can give an overhyped bulls team a hiding.
Harlequins put over on the only SA team with the most boks, playing against no less than 3 SA players and boks with some current England stars.
Would a Super rugby team from 10 years ago be able to beat the European teams of today. Maybe, but just look at the condition of these players. They are all athletes and bulked up. Playing a better brand of attacking rugby
I thoroughly enjoyed the Quins / Sharks match actually !
Yeah was a good game....Esterhuizen was really good for Harlequins and also Stephan Lewis old Sharks player....even scored a try....Quins deserved to win and the SA players in there Squad, really gives them a edge
Oh yes, it would be the SA’s not players like Smith, Murley and Davids who make the difference 
By the way, the Sharks are my SA team. Supported them since they were Natal
But off course Becs, they also played a Vital role
Yeah yeah
Stormers and Bulls both got Rugby Lessons this WE....Congrats Scarletts and Ulster....well deserved wins.
Geez, Stormers got smoked.
Eina!
Ulster away was always gonna be near impossible to win...pity about the margin though.
Brave Guppies hold on to beat Edinburgh 22-19
That was an enjoyable game.
The Sharks showed alot of grid....man they tackled like monsters....even Fassi, that is not the best defender, defended well.....congrats Sharks.
