The run in

[UlsterNo9]

Big win by Stormers away to Sharks. Didn't see that coming.

Didn't doubt they could win but never thought they'd hammer them.

[CIMANFOREVER]

Sharks squad gutted. Theyve one of the strongest when fully loaded

[Big-al]

They won’t be fully loaded for ulster match though.
7 week stand down period for their springboks ( with a springbok camp in the middle)

There’s a lack of clarity about that - have you got a link?

Never doubt me Justin

Ulster need to target a win. Sharks, without their Springboks, have struggled.

[Bobbievee]

Another kick in the teeth for the URC Championship. Will always be bottom of the pecking order, including UK and Ireland teams, who are still expecting punters to pay top dollar for what are turning into high tempo practice games for squads getting ready for Heineken, Autumn internationals, 6 Nations and this year the World Cup. Whether UR can beat Sharks reserves , or win this shambles of a competition , is becoming increasingly irrelevant.
I Will of course continue to shout my heart out as part of my life long addiction to going to Ravenhill but seriously considering that enough is enough, and next year's 500 quid ST money could be better spent.

Not really, the springbok players need a rest sometime as they play internationals during the off season in the NH.

The games are mostly SA derbies.

It’s no difference than the 23 or so Irish players that will be pulled for the next couple of rounds.

Same for the French and England.

Use the money at your local club, it will be hugely appreciated as would your guldering from the sidelines

Yeah I was trying to make the point that SA were now behaving in exactly the same way as the Irish, Scottish and Welsh rfus are, holding the URC in complete disdain. But still want our money!

Mmmm. At my age, can I be guaranteed a seat and protection from the elements?

[nonplussed]

Depends on the club.

Top 4 is going to be very tight. Leinster will have a bit to say as they could well put out weakened sides once no. 1 spot secured. Munster have to go to SA also, but I'd back them to get at least one result down there.

Ulster should be aiming to win their next 5 league games. Sharks will be severely weakened, cardiff aren't great and then 3 home games.

Sharks will be fully loaded. Internationals will be back.
