    RUGBY 24 announced...

    Saw the CEO of BigAnt posted in their forum last week. Apparently there is a heavy focus on doing the scanning of the URC and Premiership to get as many internationals as they can before the Early Access goes live. Seem to want two full leagues and six licensed internationals before early...

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    I’d like to clarify after the loss today I didn’t state that we’d win all of the hard games ahead of us, just that the Lions would be the toughest for us to win. Realistically we aren’t winning anything without Deon Fourie in our starting 23.

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    Top 8 auto qualify. Got rid of division basis this year. However its top 7 of a team outside of the top 8 and from the URC wins the Challenge Cup, e.g. the Sharks.

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    Either way though, Leinster will be very disappointed to not score a point that half. Was about 25 minutes it felt like of them being camped within the Lions 22 and weren’t able to cross the line. Lions also a bit lucky the ref didn’t go to a card within all that for their consistent offside...

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    But you need to keep in mind this isn’t the same Lions team from the last two years. They’re in top 8 contention playing at home with their altitude advantage. I see them as our toughest game remaining in the season as a Stormers supporter.

    URC 2023/24 Round 14

    I mean, given the second string nature of the team sent through, the scoreline is to be expected no? I know it was a blitz in the first ten to fifteen minutes, but still.

    2023-2024 transfers

    Kitshoff back to the Stormers from Ulster next season.

    URC 2023/2024 Round 13

    Starting to actually like our run in that we have as the stormers for the rest of the season. Our two toughest games are at home (Ospreys and Leinster - TBC which team they send out). Then two games away against teams that seem to be struggling at the moment (Connacht and Dragons), with a final...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 13

    And continuing the conversation since we are all a bit quite from the URC bunch post-WC. Positive signs this weekend from last from Ulster. From last week to this a significant step up, especially away from home. Gives them a decent positioning against Montpellier in their next game...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 13

    Game over. Man of the match: (joint) Sam Grove-White/Cape Town crowd Second half was just Stormers applying constant pressure and eventually through all that pressure a win. Really should have done more with all that pressure and possession and need to take a look at themselves moving forward...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 13

    Only compliments for the ref though. Clear communication throughout. More of him in the URC please.

    Oof, Libbok is having an absolute shocker of a game.

    URC 2023/2024 Round 12

    Well the answer to that turned out to be yes. Very good weekend for the SA teams in general. Stormers up from 9th to 5th, Lions from 11th to 9th and Sharks off the bottom to 14th. Most impressive win though is definitely the Lions. Away at Galway with a red card in the 17th minute, but then...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 12

    Really interested if the Sharks can finally pull a result out at home after the time off.

    What games are you playing?

    Following up to say that the Steam Deck has probably been one of my best investments in terms of me getting back into gaming more. My biggest blocker on gaming is available time and not wanting to be at my desk at home which I work at 40% of the time. Being able to just pick up and play/resume...

    RUGBY 24 announced...

    That's just bizarre. Releasing a sports game in early access feels a bit odd, especially when its listed as a specific year ***le. I assume it's them trying to get some wiggle room on getting some additional licenses/leagues on board, but not having all the teams directly in for their Cricket...

    Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Rd 4

    At the very least, we won’t be having another Leinster vs La Rochelle final this year. Actually hadn’t let that sink in. All of group 4 is in one grouping, meaning another group replay in the quarter final.

    Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Rd 4

    He definitely wasn't supporting South Africa in the World Cup threads. At one point though I think he was supporting the Bulls though... seems to hop around a lot.

    Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Rd 4

    Looks like you're safe and that we are going to get La Rochelle at home, a repeat of a group stage game.
