URC 24/25: Quarter finals

I can't see it, I'm relying on the BBC blog

PMd you

Altitude maybe?

Durban is at sea level.

 

[Ddanno]

Never seen one of these before

Have Munster now been in 2/3 of rugbys professional penalty shootouts?

Last one didn't go well for us but we have a good few decent kickers on the field.

NGL whatever happens next for the players they have available the Sharks are really poor. We should not be near them. Tactically inept playing kick tennis with us when they have easy yards whenever they play direct. Also baffling decision to go for the corner then attempt a drop goal a few minutes later.

Crowley going for the one in front of the sticks is soft.

Don't understand that decision at all

 

[Gavin]

Hope the Sharks get smashed in the Semis considering how some of their players and staff acting during that kicking competition

 

[Groundhog]

Hendrickse faking an injury and a technical staff member shouting something as Crowley kicked, what a shower of *****

 

[ChicagoKid]

Changing my name to Jaden’s wink.

 

[AlRums]

Not sure how much play acting there was there, so I'm going to be cynical and say a lot.

 

[Groundhog]

Anyway we died with our boots on.

Something I never thought I’d say but up Glasgow.

Sharks/Durban Are on sea level btw. It’s Lions and Bulls that are at altitude

As soon as Hendrikse went down I knew it was ********. Adamson ****** it by not allowing Crowley take it while he lay there.

Shouting during the kick is absolutely unacceptable but I kind of back what Hendrickse did after how dodgy Crowley's first kick was.

Still think Munster ****** it by having their primary kicker on the easy ones.

Bulls v Glasgow final is my prediction.

Yeah tactically weird with Crowley. Somethings up with him and goal kicking. He gave Casey the big kick v Benneton and Murray the long ranger today. Not sure if it's discomfort in his ribs or what. Can't be getting the yips as a kicker.

Another words for the Sharks…. *****

Not sure how Mike Adamson continues to eke out an existence as a ref, he’s a stinker. Looks like he drinks Bacardi Breezers too

 

[AlRums]

This is like a repeat for Warriors from last year, just substitute Leinster for Munster.

Only this time, if they beat Leinster they get home advantage for the final.

 

[Groundhog]

I think I back Glasgow to do the job again honestly. They’re a horrible team to play, they’re all on script and seem to hit their stride in the URC knockouts.

No they don't. Goes by league ranking. Bulls finished 2nd to Glasgow's 4th.

 

[General Melchett]

Glasgow will go to Leinster with belief but getting the W there is still a tall order. Beating Stormers 36-18 when losing the penalty count 17-3 is crazy. They were just insanely clinical when they got their opportunities. Scrum was also creaky and next weekend will be a big step up.

Back row battle will be interesting if JVdF is out. Darge and Venter were both excellent yesterday.

 

[saulan]

Ethan Hooker and Mapimpi looked good during the game. Generally the Sharks were good at gaining metres but were not great at converting all their territory to points. I’ve been a broken record all season, but you’d expect this team to be more convincing in their games given their players.

Not a fan of what Hendrikse was doing and whoever else was shouting at Crowley on the staffing team. Not getting many fans from the neutrals. Think Bulls will have all the support next week… although I saw one Leinster fan on Reddit saying they hope the Sharks win so that if they are in the final they’ll at least get some neutral supporters behind Leinster.

No they don't. Goes by league ranking. Bulls finished 2nd to Glasgow's 4th.
