Seasons Over With 3 Regular Season Games Left, and we only play other teams who also can't make the top 8

There's a lot we need to work on for next season URC and Challenge Cup

Pre season structure with so many players not there as they will be with the boks

Which players to show the door too

Conditioning, injuries on injuries

Loose forward balance, zero fetchers in our team (Maybe Matt Romao, bless his heart but Tino not making an impact)

Play the guys who will be around next season for the last 3 games, no point in selecting Kolisi

I Wana see Siyaya, Albie Bester, Lili Bester, PK Sobahle, Ethan Bester

Guys like Jaco Williams if his back from injury

Another issue is Both Fez and Eddie Swart are not up too it, and Bongi is fading, can Kerron make an impact, Calvert looks small, Ethan Bester looks promising though

Bulls have two really good front rows that Scrum the opposition into the ground, we only have one, and the when they pretend they can't Scrum we do not have the hands to pass around them

So no Yellow for Morgan?? For landing on Ethan hooker

A rugby team can be heavily punished if a player jumps on an opposition player while they are scoring a try, as this is considered foul play. 

Depending on the referee's interpretation of the action, the following sanctions can apply:

Penalty Try & Yellow/Red Card: If the action constitutes dangerous play (e.g., jumping on a player in the act of scoring), a penalty try can be awarded if the referee believes a try was imminent, and the offender may receive a yellow or red card for dangerous/reckless behavior.

Penalty Kick: If a try is not awarded, a penalty kick will be given against the defending team.

Dangerous Play Rules: Law 9.11 prohibits any action that is dangerous to an opponent. Jumping on a player, particularly if it involves dangerous contact with the head or neck area, is deemed illegal and subject to sanction. 

While players are allowed to dive to score a try themselves, they cannot jump into or onto a defender, and defenders cannot legally jump onto an attacker who is grounding the ball.

Why can't we do what the bulls just did

They team and game management made a tight game look easy in the second half

Though one can argue that their strengths work well in there conditions

Their setup like a tough test match team

Where as the Sharks are seemingly a disjointed mid table super rugby esque team

We play a different Walsh team in wales in almost exactly 24 hours from the bulls kick off, can we do what they did, I'm not sure

Bulls also have two formidable from rows, where as we only have one, and ours is on the bench

Touring Squad Team Selection

Disclaimer, this is the match 23 I would select from the announced touring squad

I am going for broke with a 6/2 bench

with Jaden also expected to cover 10

Phepsi to replace Kolisi from the bench, didn't want to start Manu on the first game back

Kinda didn't want to start Kolisi back from injury either but in rugby unlike football, you start the less game sharpened player so that back up can take over if he burns out quickly

And Siya always likely to start

Tough call at the end of the team sheet between Jurenzo and Malan, went with JJ

Not much between Fez and Eddie Swart, went with Fez to start and Swart for impact

Tons of players missing, but the important ones who could actually make a difference are: Grant Williams, Jaco Williams, Jordan Hendrickse, Eben, Bongi, Fassi, Luan Giliomee (Anyone else?)

  1. Ox

  2. Fez

  3. Koch

  4. Jenkins

  5. Emile

  6. Kolisi

  10. Jean

  11. EVDM
