What a round for SA teams. All four unions won. The sharks finally stood up and manage to beat ulster with some grit and determination, except for some coach killers with stupid 50/50 passes.
Ethan Hooker was my player of the match. If he keeps this up we could be looking at our future bok 12. His work rate and speed was phenomenal. He has a nice size to him and can play direct when needs to. We need to look after this kid.
The lions blew the doors off in Connacht. Playing with 14 men for most of the game and manage to make it look effortless. Number of players put their hands up. Nohamba had a quiet game but still scored. Horn seems to be the player to watch for. Then, JC pretorious ridiculous pass to set his outside backs away. The lions played well as a team.
Stormers, got to see Roos getting back to his best. Speed and go forward, great at mixing it up. Willemse had a sublime game and wonder whether Gelant is even worth having in the team. Great to see Simelane at 13 for the stormers. So many line breaks. Hartzenberg got 3 tries, not bad.
The bulls had to work really hard in Wales, but the experience came through with Willie pulling the strings with great passes and kicks. Bulls look like a difficult team. Really like the looks of Gumede, another sharks reject that is showing his true value.
Arendse, what a player. So dangerous with ball in hand. Really curious to know how many meters he got.
I hope this run continues, looks like a good break and hopefully we can have more teams finish in the top 8. Europe, watch put
