URC: SA Teams - Real testing weekend ahead

I'm not sure if you oaks have warmed up to the URC just yet. I know that it is not Super rugby and that there is no fantasy league to speak of but on first appearance it looks like we are in the top 8 once more. The big surprise for me was the Lions, 2 wins on the road which is no easy feat. 

Here are this weekends fixtures

Endinburgh vs Lions

Zebre vs Stormers

Leinster vs Sharks

Glasgow vs Bulls

We are away from the sunny fields of SA and no entering into the UK winter. It is still not cold but it has been wet and soggy. 

I do believe that this will be a true test of our teams strength. The Stormers and Sharks have left their boks at home. The bulls have a few injuries but have enough fire power. The lions have really impressed me and I like their backline makeup. Their pack is solid too. 

I think the Lions may lose against the Endinburgh, they are a decent outfit. 

Zebre ran the sharks and Leinster close but lost by a couple of points. 

Leinster should beat the sharks, but I hope the sharks can pull a good away win off

Not sure what to make of Glasgow, they are at home, Bulls may have to much fire power but it depends on the day and who plays. 

Lions have been tackling like dynamite  358 with a 90% success rate.
Gonna have to do the same against that slick passing Edinburgh team.That rush defence of Stormer's was the difference in beating Edinburgh  last weekend.

The lineout's and running of the Bulls have been their standout so far.Looking forward to their game against Glasgow.
Zebre came back well in the 2nd half against Munster,much improved so far this season,lets see how they handle the Stormers kicking game.

URC Rocks...and will get even better the more we get to know the teams, players and venues...and we're being appreciated more than not...almost like an equal partnership....who would have thought???

I’m actually thinking of heading up to some of these games as I’m based in the UK and should go watch our boys play. 

Any of you in the UK thinking the same. 

I know Stormers and London Irish should be good
