The Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup continue this weekend and we've compiled some key notes for you on all match-ups involving our sides ahead of a huge weekend of action.
Cameron Hanekom beat more defenders than any other player in Round 1, a total of ten. He also won two turnovers.
I got hnekom in y fanasy team. thbnks for the ocumet anyway.
The Bulls look like they can beat Leicester - but leaving out iese is quetinable, The Stormers team is a joke in bad taste - where the ehll did they get that lot from and then they have 3 nable to jump in line-outs and acatain to boost. The ret of te team is a list of sub-standard players - where have they found them.
Th Sharks have a lon g list of inj uries - inclusive of Etzebeth and Nhe, - t te slowcoach Esterhizen is ot n the inj ury list - so did the harks drop him for sbst andard performaces? ,
All teams updated
The Bulls are playing Northampton, Mike, not Leicester.
Stormers, looks like their B team.
Jurie Mathee is a better Flyhalf than Jan "Libbok"Pierewiet, any day!
Roche should have been starting with simelane ….Gary Porter instead of Moeras…
Corne Weibach is a good TH, almost build in the same mould as Frans Malherbe. Just much younger:)
