Rumpled fellow up against Ox looks stressed already.
Rumpled fellow up against Ox looks stressed already.
Williams makes a tackle his wing should have made…Esterhozen tackles well in the center.
From the bogs of Ireland …Ahern scores. Too much pace says
the moron in the commentary box, meanwhile Williams caught him from way behind.
Esterhozen drops the ball in contact but Mapimpi and Fassi turn
things around and Williams scores… having a winger’s pace at scrummie is a weapon. Mapimpi playing well.
Three is destroyed again…Ox dominates
Munster back for a try. The Sharks are destructive on the run, but the defense isn’t great.
Hozen flicks up the loose ball after great Williams break.
Magnificent pick up off his toes by Hozen
Rump
led man vs Ox…this can’t be good.
Goes to Hozen who powers through Munster.
‘Strong, powerful’….another gem from the commentary box,
Knock on after Hozen pressure. If Ox goes on this way the suits in World Rugby might have to find a way to ban him.
After a score fest in the first half, nothing in the second so far. Good goal line stand by the Sharks. Sharks ability to take the scrum in these situations with Williams an immediate danger
is a huge advantage. The tap and go by Muster looked pretty toothless.
If you watch the wing being taken into touch and fumbling you wonder why simply placing the ball wasn’t the best tactic….never done in rugby, but it would set up the ball for a dangerous grubber forward,
Kolisi throws a poor pass….his hands aren’t the best. Mapimpi is having his best game in years.
Fabulous open field tackle by Mapimpi on the cross kick. Finally Munster crack in the second half,
Tshituka is very impressive in this game….Mapimpi with a super offload.
Grant Williams gets the MOM, well deserved. Can the Boks harness all this backline talent one wonders.
Mapimpi makes his first mistake of the game allowing the try on the open side cross….after an
enjoyable slow motion break by the Munster scrummie.
Sharks playing silly buggers now….and Etzebeth is injured after a great game. Is it really smart to have this guy playing 80 minutes in a match that was won at the half? He seems okay though.
Nyakane shows he isn’t chopped liver
Munster score an agricultural try to get a bonus point. Good pluck from the Irish. Man for man the Sharks had so much more talent, but would they have won this match in Ireland. Harnessing and sorting
our talent and finding tactics to deploy it is now becoming the issue for Bok rugby
The Sharks forwards coming towards the end were treating Minster like schools boys.
It's a thing, having to front up against that.
Does the Black community in South
Africa accept that rugby not soccer is where they are world class?
Great games from Fassi, Mapimpi, Am, Esterhuizen, Jordan Hendrikse, Williams, Ox, Eben, Vincent Tsituka and Kolisi
Those Tstituka brothers need to be capped by Rassie asap
There are already rumours that some French clubs are chasing Vincent Tsituka, his brother Emmanuel might even be better
There are a bunch of 6'3-4" black units coming through now. Athletic guys with good ball sense and pace.
They're just naturally more athletic than their white counterparts. There's gonna come a time in the not too distant future when the Bok backs will be easily the most dangerous in the world.
While the Kiwis have to import a lot of their guys, they grow naturally here in SA and I think that on balance I feel like our guys have a bit more.
Fassi is just a sign of things to come.
" They're just naturally more athletic than their white counterparts." My opinion this statement is not accurate….right here in our midst we have players like David Kriel 1,95m 102 kg.
This guy is on fire and so versatile.
Or Rikus Pretorius 1,93m 104kg. Just as good but plying his trade in Japan.
They are just as athletic but are being overlooked because of bull shit political colour preferences .
There are many more…..
I'm not saying we don't have extremely athletic and big white guys. It's more a general statement.
I'm talking about guys like, well almost all the Sharks loosies, Julius, Fassi...they've all got the little bit extra.
I really don’t think they have more plum…
but you Right there is great black athletes….
Just want everything to be equals and not Blacks or Whites taking over.

His retrieval near the lineout was first class. The divorce proceedings have energized the lad. Esterhozen sets up another try.Try saving tackle Fassi…Gelant should watch that
