Actually kinda relieved to be out is what I am getting at.

TBH I'm not sure I see the sense in our inclusion. The URC I feel is a good fit atm but with our geographic isolation in rugby terms any comp we are in will be tricky. But our inclusion in this competition.. I can fully understand the concerns even if I talked about salt. I wonder for us if...

Oh my..

Probably better for everyone that we are out because can you imagine the amount of salt from the French and English if a SA team won this tournament! Can't help feeling a bit bitter though. We could really have done without the amount of injuries..

Fucj.

If we can click on attack and front up vs the La Rochelle pack I think we can take them. But they are clear favorites I suppose. Hoping to see: 1 We have a bit of an injury crisis here 2 Please AH Venter and JJ Kotze at 16 here even if I know we are forking out for Dweba. 3 Fouche or Malherbe...

Only the 3rd season but of all the overseas sides it feels like we have the most "beef" with Ulster and now they are rocking up with Kitsie whilst we are in the middle of a loosehead injury crisis.

Deserved loss to the Bulls. We did well to get back in to it after a shocking start before the score was inflated at the end.

At home and with a near enough full strength side I'd back us vs La Rochelle but we'll have neither and I expect a QF exit is on the way for us. We don't have the squad depth to compete in both URC and this tournament. If any SA side does it'd be the Bulls who have recruited or rather...

As if half the teams aren't half South African in any case.

I'd be happy to see Simelane get a look in if it weren't for the fact that Nel has been excellent and his experience and leadership counts for a lot especially given our injury list and especially in the centers.

Didn't expect a win with our lineup and considering the Bulls' recent results but if we'd lost that one at the end I'd have felt robbed. Deon Fourie my motm but Dayimani was awesome as well. Them, our locks, Libbok and Nel were all putting in good shifts. I'm not a fan of jldp at 12 but...

I see we are carrying a lot of injury. Particularly at center. Gonna be tough beating an in form Bulls side even at home with half the squad injured.

I'd usually back us at home against just about any side but our form and selections have been a bit off of late. Probably we need La Rochelle sending a 2nd team. But I expect they value the tournament too much and we will also be going all in here so likely to see a lineup of 1 Harris /...

Haha. I can't believe we are ahead. I doubt we will win it but at least it isn't embarrassing so far. Dare I start to hope is the question..

DHL Stormers — 15 Warrick Gelant, 14 Courtnall Skosan, 13 Ruhan Nel, 12 Damian Willemse, 11 Leolin Zas, 10 Manie Libbok, 9 Herschel Jantjies, 8 Evan Roos, 7 Hacjivah Dayimani, 6 Deon Fourie, 5 Ruben van Heerden, 4 Adre Smith, 3 Neethling Fouche (captain), 2 Joseph Dweba, 1 Kwenzo Blose...

That's about it yes. Blommetjies went surprisingly well at 10. Difficult to say how much of the backline capitulating is down to jldp and Gelant and how much it is merely the conditions. Or whatever else. If only it could be 21. 34 today. Haven't checked Saturday yet though.

Back at home and access to a few key players. Also "only" Zebre... If we can't use this one to get back to winning ways then I don't think we have any hope.
