Rotation or Snyman injured?

Rotation. His gametime is going to be strongly limited.

Glasgow > Edinburgh (again)

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Great start, let's go for 80mins now.

Boyle could end up a full squad member for the 6N.

Edit: HIA won't help though.

This is really grim by Munster.

Lineout not working.

Couldn't even score a point against 14 man Leinster.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Decent first half but a bit stuttery at times. Luke McGrath started well but has reverted to his average, his pass for a pro 9 is shocking.

Need to push on for the BP, hopefully things open up like they did in Belfast last week to allow it.

Jesus, that's bad reffing. Never legal from Ryan.

Proving Mack Hansen was right.

Bleuler letting in two tries from not defending pillar properly is unforgivable at this level.

I think there was offside missed previously but just a comedy at times here in between mostly good reffing.

 

[big ginger 8]

Cullen saying the subbing of Boyle for Porter at 23 minutes was preplanned. Interesting direction.

Sold out Cape Town stadium at 52k. Still looks like people are filtering in 5 mins in, but great turnout especially given how average we have been this season.

Ah, so good to see Senatla back after his horrendous car accident and recovery a year ago.

5 points from that is a bit of a miracle but will absolutely take it. Should move us up quite a bit in the log with a game in hand. Sharks injuries are potentially devastating for the rest of their season.

That was horrific to see both Esterhuizen and Fassi on the ground holding their knees at the same time. I hope they can recover soon. We had such a good grip on injuries so far this year, they have been plentiful but across a wide range of positions so the squad could absorb it.
