Go WP!!!
The United Rugby Championship.
Connacht break Lions heart with penalty 5 mins from full time.
Well done Connacht.
Hope the Sharks can pull it off against Leinster at Shark Tank.
Sharks 21 Leinster 23 as Frawley nails a penalty @ 52 min.
Buthelezi goes over for try from 5 m scrum and Bosch converts...28-23.
Go Sharks and keep it up!
Leinster go over at 83min but held up...TMO check.
Yay...no try.
Sharks hold on to win.
Well done Sharks.
Congrats Stav...the Lions in Joburg isn't easy.
I swear I didn't actually post that 3 times
Well done sharks to pull thru. If this is Leinster B squad, then there A squad will be a real tough nut to crack. Fassi splitting the Leinster backline in half for Hendrikse to score, was superb.
So Sharks, Stormers and the Bulls all have qualified for the Champions cup now. Bulls can finish no lower than 7th now even if they lose their final game so don't have to worry about the Welsh shield winner nicking their qualification spot. Its going be one of the two Scottish teams that get shafted now.
Log table with yellow circle indicating currently who's Champions cup qualification place.
The only problem is the SA team have 3 difficult games away from home in the final round.
Ulster vs Sharks is the the most difficult fixture and I can't see the Sharks winning it.
Ospreys vs Bulls and Scarlets vs Stormers is going be interesting because both Ospreys and Scarlets are fighting each other for the final Champions Cup qualification spot and with Ospreys playing Dragons at home next weekend its almost a cert that the Ospreys will end up even on points with the Scarlets but a slightly worse points scored differential going into the final. So for both Scarlets and Ospreys the final matches are must win games.
Final round
Leinster vs Munster: Leinster win (unless they through out the B team) Munster to get a loosing BP
Ulster vs Sharks: Ulster win
Ospreys vs Bulls: Bulls don't travel well, Ospreys to nick it.
Scarlets vs Stormers: Going go with the Stormers to win.
Edinburgh vs Glasgow: Very tight game but going go with Glasgow
Last 8 will be
Leinster vs Edinburgh
Stormers vs Bulls
Ulster vs Glasgow
Munster vs Sharks
Also crazy to see Sharks and Stormers deadlocked on both points and point differential after 17 rounds but Sharks are above them because they have scored 57 tries to Stormers 56.
Ja, they made it look so easy...they'll make it difficult for a few of the top test sides...real good side.
