Description
Shaun and Thala review round 12 of the URC which saw all 4 South African teams win their matches. We first look at the Stormers victory over Edinburgh and Shaun (who watched live) raved about how good Damian Willemse looks live and the encouraging signs from Wandi Simelane’s performance. For the Sharks game, Thala discusses whether the Sharks have finally found the right formula of Boks and youngsters in their team, how impressive Ethan Hooker is and why Makazole Mapimpi is a South African rugby legend. We rave about the Lions being the first South African team to beat Connacht away in the URC and them doing it after an early red card to Asenathi Ntlabakanye. We talk about impressive performances from JC Pretorius and Erich Cronje. We look forward to the Lions other matches and why they have a good chance of qualifying for the knockouts. We cannot help but look forward to the Bulls epic upcoming clash with Leinster after the dispatched the Dragons with a bonus point. The First Phase question today was what players have teams still not replaced and there was a lot of love for Jerome Kaino, Israel Folau and Jacques Kallis??
