Sharks vs Leinster URC 2025 R3

Anonymous Am off for Venter.

Here we go...here comes my boy!!!

Go Hlekani!

FFS he looks like a friggin monster!

Nice line break by JJ

Juju with a good half break, no support on his shoulder though. Sharks still attacking.

And now Juju delays his pass to Edwill too long and there's almost an intercept. Well, there was an intercept but nothing came off it.

And then JJ screws it up by being greedy and hanging on for too long

Juju can't shut down Osborne and gives away valuable meters.

Deegan beats Hooker's tackle on the step.

Cross kick, space was there but just overcooked by Leinster.

Sharks spectacularly fluffs the lineout, big overthrow by Bongi straight to McCarthy who scores.

31-5 L

This is an abysmal sharks team. Either it is a plum or their obsession with Currie cup quota players. Don't see any decent locks, back row is weak. Am has lost all of his form . Not a great team or well coached

Juju with a solid hit on Byrne.

Not a great team or well coached

They have decent players I think. The coaching is abysmal. No idea how Plumtree kept his job. This is exactly how they looked in last season's comp as well.

The vissies are very frot and all sharks fans should admit it.

The second string Leinster side has been a lot better than the wee guppies.

Apparently South Africa has great depth.

No Rassie makes players and gets a team to gel and fight extremely hard.

Plumtree should be sent packing. He just doesn't produce.

Juju feeds Lowe an intercept, Edwill hunts him down.

And now JJ hangs onto another one for too long and thine his pass is intercepted.

Agreed Beeno.

I'm not sure what the Sharks think Plumtree will do for them from here on out. They were terrible last season and not looking much better this season either.

Another Sharks lineout stolen.

You know what I liked about this ref? You barely noticed him all game except for the review and the odd chat. That's how it should be - about the game and the players.

Over the years the Sharks have had decent teams on paper but never lived up to potential.

Can't go on in the same old way.

I admit I have not watched to much rugby apart from the Boks but already I think the idea we have so much talent is overstated.

Our URC teams don't dominate. Right?

Snarks are k@k.

How kak is Jizzo Julius. All he has is a step, no brains. Absolutely brain dead. So is the most of the saarks players

Frawley with the turnover and that should be that. Sharks not even a factor, just Hooker's intercept to show for it all. Leinster will force one more lineout.

"Our URC teams don't dominate. Right?"

Saffa team in every final since if started...

I agree with Pakie about Hooker and Van der merwe - the rest of the team was Supershit, Where is that slow wit Esterhuizen anyway.

I think the Sharks can be savd as a team idf theys ell the players past their sell-by date and used rhe savings to buy younger and more useful players. I will start with selling Mapimpi and Am and put Julius on notice that his tirn is next if he fails again. For heavens sake get a usable 12 - the present situation is way past useless. Top of the list of useless players is Orie - if nobody wants him fire him.

Poor van der Merwe and Hooker - why should they put up with the shit inside of them in the backline.

Kenny almost creates a final hooray for Leinster.

On today's performance it looks like amateurs playing professionals. The skills and playing as a team is well illustrated by the two teams and their backlines.

Edwul and Ethan had respectable games.

Where is that slow wit Esterhuizen anyway.

I guess even in his absence this was his fault, right?

How kak is Jizzo Julius. All he has is a step, no brains.

But he glides, dude. He. Gliiiideeeees.

Esyerhuizen was absent - but is absence was a god sent since he is a slow thinker and actor and the Leonmstr ta m would kiw 12 and his defense would have beaten by a wider margin if he did play, The Leinster players would have run crcles aound him of he was playing.

Jurenzo Uselius? Made a few decent half breaks, but he’s not reading the game, so mostly he is a spectator. Well behind Hooker now.

Lol.

Wait until Dawie sees this. He's gonna tell us how impactful JJ was and how Hooker was average.

Meanwhile, Hooker looks like a dead set 100 cap Bok and JJ looks like he might be struggling to be kept by the Sharks.

Wow those two mini breaks by JJ were the only highlights of the Sharks pathetic performance

I liked Hookers intercept try but JJ’s breaks were better

That kid is class

JJ was the best centre on the field

Ah so it was King who said JJ was useless

You have just confirmed something Ive always suspected- you are genuinely rugby ignorant
