URC Round 10 - 2025/26

[saulan]

That is a lot of games tonight oddly all at the same time... Also odd to divide the South African viewership eyes like that

 

[saulan]

First of the double headers (reverse fixture is next week). For us I am worried about our centre combination and fullback. Mainly because that is where we have been leaky the last couple of weekends and I am just worried about our attack not really clicking since (and including) the Bulls game.

Why do the Sharks graphics look like in memoriams?

Stronger Leinster team than expected. Smyth the big one to watch obviously after mincing the Toulouse Espoirs.

Munster really committing hard to the challenge cup

That's one of those rugby laws I don't like. Right by the letter of the law but in a dynamic situation like that the player relies on the ref for a call, without hearing tackle complete he's always going to continue to play the ball.

Losing a try and conceding a pen feels dirty there.

Shocking by Butler.
