URC semifinal 2 - Bulls vs Sharks

Hendrikse brothers does it again, sharks completely outplayed

That's the game.

Sharks didn't deserve to win this.

Lets hope they get a decent coach next season because they have done nothing but underperform all year.

MOTM must surely be De Klerk

Bulls off to Leinster for the final

Thanks for the company lads

De Klerk and Papier influential for the Bulls. Mapimpi and Esterhuizen probably the best for the Sharks along with the Tsitsukas.

Grobbies and de Klerk out there hands up today showing Rassie what a mistake he made.

Then there is Marcel Coetzee. He just keeps going and such a hard worker. How on earth Kwotalisi is ahead of him is beyond belief.

Wilco Louw and Jan Hendrik destroyed turnip head and Ox in the scrums. Two tight heads against the bok front row. I also think Bongi looked spent force.

Rassie need to cut these players sooner than later. Bongi, Mpimpi and Kwotalisi are 3 players that must be dropped

Marcel was very good. Bulls have a great pack. Hanekom is the tragedy of the night.

Congrats Bulls …..there scrum is vicious. Sharks looked like a bunch amateurs……any case I agree on Kollisi, Am, Koch and Bongi needs the boot.

That will never happen tho as it’s not about merit and Rassie is a poephol that is standing in his own way, idiot!!

Proof that he is a total idiot, is picking those 2 Hendrikse brothers, enough said.

Bulls have a better chance of beating Leinster than the Sharks, but their chances are very slim indeed. Leinster are looking to break a 4 year drought, and it is certainly what will most likely happen.

Sports presenters are saying the Hendrikse brothers are the weak link for the Sharks.

Some rank amateur stuff from both of them... They should have worked in the circus

Top tackler for each team: Wiese 17 / Vincent 8

Most meters: De Klerk 98 / Mapimpi 121

Defenders beaten: De Klerk 7 / Mapimpi 6

Clean breaks: De Klerk 2 / Mapimpi 4

Successful carries: Nortje 3 / Esterhuizen 9

Offloads: Coetzee 2 / Esterhuizen 3

Imagine if Andre was playing for the Bulls.

If the Bulls play the non-rugby they played for the middle 50 minutes of the game they'll get creamed.

Problem is if Rassie drops these players his quota number takes a massive nosedive

-

Imagine Rassie would get his head out of his ass, and play AE instead of John Deere…

But no we will see the same old warriors….really frustrating….Pakie is Hanekom injured?

So what can one say about the match where handling errors and backline tactics on both sides were totally absent, It was hard to watch because of watching such an attack on rugby as a sport.

Hanekom looked seriously injured, went off on the little medical go cart. We'll have to wait for news.

where handling errors and backline tactics on both sides were totally absent

But that is mos at least one good thing ou Maaik.

"Imagine Rassie would get his head out of his ass, and play AE instead of John Deere…

Based on tonight, AE isn't breaking the door down.

Pity about Hanekom...looked bad...Bools front row should all be Bok starters.

Pity about Hanekom's injury - looks like it is bad and very "eina". Esterhuien played very samll a role in the amtches last week and this week. He was frozen when De Klerk ran in the gap between him and Hendriks in one of the Bukks attacks. - but whenever St Esterhuizen carry the ball and was tackled befire reaching the advantage line in their prejudiced mind they add 10 meters to the carry I saw him pasing the ball twice n the match and nte of the passes add anythng

What really baffled way was the ridicolous decinsionmaking by Willie in 3 real cases whocj lef to the disallowed ooker try. as two othe cases wjere his kicking game was BS supreme. I really expected much better from him.

The fact is there are two players that I believe are real candidates for Springbok selection and those are Hooker and De Klerk,

A nothe for a while late in the first half there were 3 yellow-carded playes of the fied of play and the Bulls had only 12 players on the field. yet the Sharks did nothint to really profit from that situation.

I saw no rel positives in the Sharks quarter and semi-finals appreances other than Hooker being a star playing for a clueless team, Just remind me - how many tries has St Esterhuizen scored for the Sprringboks in 21 tests>
