That Sharks backline has an average age of 22 years old! 👀
Incredibly exciting players. Big futures.

Your Hollywoodbets Sharks Team to take on Zebre 🦓 Let's make it a memorable final outing at the tank this season 🦈

Sad news for Ntlabakanye. The whole situation has been shrouded in uncertainty evidenced by how long the decision has taken.
A player who could have been serving this time earlier in a World Cup cycle.
Also, please read up the full story before spreading misinformation.

Lineout feeds also expected to be straight…
Straight feeds at the scrum would mean Hookers actually have to hook properly, making scrums similar to lineouts in the sense that you can choose when to compete and when not to.
The feeding team (like lineouts) then has the advantage of WHEN they feed.
Spin can still be applied, as long as the ball is fed straight.
English
@AnalystGus @AllThingsRugbyX What advantage does the side feeding a scrum have if they feed it straight?
In every other restart the side that didn't make the error has an advantage.
Should we try to be consistent?
English
The irony of rugby is that if this action takes place anywhere else on the rugby pitch it is refereed as a penalty (Law: 13.4).
However, we frequently see the same action take place in-goal and refereed very differently.
Everyone does it, and always have (quite sure my dad has complained about it in every rugby match I have ever watched with him).
The solution? Simple. As soon as a player is on the ground in-goal, the only contact you can make with that player is on the ball or with that players arms. Tackles that began before the in-goal area would of course be exempt.
Failure to comply?
Example 1: Ball is grounded and you dive onto a player = You concede the try (obviously), and concede a penalty on the halfway line to restart play.
Example 2: Ball is not grounded, but not due to defending player halting the ball from being grounded, but rather from the action of diving onto a players back = Penalty Try.
Final Result:
CONGRATS WORLD RUGBY, you made rugby safer and more consistent to the law's that already exist. Next job, scrum feeds actually being straight.

✍️Rugby players being tested in unfamiliar positions is a top 5 viewing pleasure for me. Although Willemse will be wearing the #14 jersey, I don't expect him to operate as a conventional winger. So why isn't Ruhan Nel at wing instead? Willemse’s aerial ability and kicking game make him far better suited to the modern winger role, essentially an auxiliary fullback and contestable kick threat. Asking Nel to do that would be a net negative, especially given how well he fits the defensive and structural demands at 13. I’d expect Willemse to step into the 12 channel off attacking set-pieces, allowing Dan du Plessis and Nel to shift one wider. As good a finisher as Willemse is, his real value lies in his ability to attract defenders (creating space) and executing actions on that space to create opportunities. Subsequently, Du Plessis and Nel's attacking attributes can become additionally impactful when carrying into the wider, less congested channels. Rugby is evolving. The number on a shirt does not entirely define the role.

DAMIAN WILLEMSE on the wing 🚨

We can’t replace Kurt-Lee, but we can recreate him in the aggregate with Duarte and Abrahams 😂

Derbies hurting the Stormers ❓
The SA URC Shield table is almost a complete flip of the SA teams table vs foreign opposition.

Spot on ✅
For all the jokes about Jasper Wiese’s temperament, he really doesn’t give away many penalties around the park - and that’s at international level.
At the top level, giving away silly penalty infringements can literally be the difference between winning and losing.
Oom Rugby@Oom_Rugby
I am a big Evan Roos fan… pace , power, explosiveness . kind of hybrid of the tornado Schalk Burger , bit of Pierre Spies, and some of Ardie Savea in contact. but in Durban gave away 3 silly penalties against Sharks at important times, and that is just a killer 😩 he is not always like that, and have certainly improved , but sometimes do question his accuracy and game discipline. i am not sure there many players that can equal his metrics and potential.. so for the national cause I really hope he can develop his focus and rugby IQ 💪🏻

@AndrewMort18 @GreggMac11 If rugby was done how it was originally done, we would have tries equal to zero points.

@GreggMac11 @AnalystGus Old ways aren’t always the best. I’m generally a traditionalist. Not in this case.

@JamaKaSlwaneh I’ve never said that, but I did post this, which was explaining some of the metrics where Jacobs was thriving. Caveated by the fact that he was playing some matches off the bench (I.e It’s easier to have more tackles per 80 mins if you are playing 10mins)

Very telling that Hanro Jacobs is starting over two capped Springbok tightheads. But he has had the performances to back it up 👇
English
@AnalystGus Brothers where are those graphs where you said Hanro Jacobs is better than Asenathi?
English
Gelant does have a load of turnovers.
However, in rugby data, “turnovers” = turnovers conceded (bad). So this is not a compliment.
The metric you’d like him to be highest in is “turnovers won”, which he has just 1.
For all Gelant’s flair, he does cost a lot of turnovers…
Keanu Moodie@yungmood8
@Paulstormingbok His stats prove otherwise, he lead the stormers in turnovers if I'm correct. His not a bad players, others have done worse with less criticism. But it's my opinion
