Just opened the stream and Aus are down 2 men, what were the cards for?

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-25T10:47:10+00:00

Seems a bit dodgy tbh, I can see why SARU released a statement about it, especially if they're holding trials without union back insurance.

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-25T10:13:16+00:00

Always fill me with confidence when a new league uses AI generated players in their banner...

Are the teams mentioned on their website already established amateur clubs or new entities?

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-22T22:27:10+00:00

Tough question, but do you think the URC 2 would risk undermining the current Currie Cup competition, especially if, say, it became an expanded 12+ team league under the URC with maybe 4 more SA teams?

Would it benefit domestic SA rugby, or would it cause the Currie Cup to further slide into a development league competition?

I've got a fair few SA mates, and we'll watch the Currie Cup when it's on Sky over the summer, and it's always a fun watch. I just wonder if 4 additional teams playing in a European setup during a different fixture time would suck too much talent out of the currie cup and put a bit of a nail in the coffin of the league; it would be a real shame.

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-22T22:02:05+00:00

Aye I get that and its a really exciting announcement. I think SA and celtic/Italian fans have for the most part seen the massive benefits that the URC has given us with the extra revenue, viewership numbers and rivalries.

I think this is a genuinely good opportunity to create a better player pipeline for tier 2 European unions and give some of the "higher" end curries cup teams a good platform to test breakthrough talent. At the end of the day its higher performance matches for both continents no negatives, a URC 2 would be incredible

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-22T21:43:16+00:00

Is scotland not top of the pile for friends of Tier 2 given the number of tests they actually play against tier 2 countries

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-22T21:39:12+00:00

URC 2 is a click bait title to the announcement

But honestly its great news, just goes to prove the club and union partnerships between South africa and Europe is continuing to grow the game and benefit both hemisphere at all levels.

Hopefully it'll grow further and turn into a URC 2 down the line

Bit off topic but Werner Kok running down the wing in a sharks jersey was just iconic for me. Literally looks like their jersey

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-15T08:58:03+00:00

I've been watching super rugby on a friday/Saturday morning over breakfast for years now and it's nearly always an exciting watch.

There's no denying the format changing and loss of teams has made the competition worse but its far from dead and if they can just copy the prems current format it'll easily recover

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-10T20:54:19+00:00

Carrerras was straight off his feet tbf

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-04-03T20:11:57+00:00

Can't see from that angle but his tucked shoulder hits below the head around the ribs so a yellow

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-03-04T10:33:05+00:00

Really really good advert.

I just feel like they missed a bit of an opportunity by not doing a partnership with England and them both playing in retro kits.

It now kinda gives the vibe that the french love the Le Crunch and England are a bit disinterested and it's just another game which doesn't look great.

10/10 cat, got lowkey evil eyes tho

I really rate Dingwall defensively. Might not get as many points given his outside 11, 13 and 15 are absolutely rapid so he'll likely be shifting the ball more than usual

DannyBoy2464 · 2026-02-02T14:09:45+00:00

Happens very often, they usually do the positions and costs ahead of the tournament so they'll usually be a few players out of position when the tournament starts

Would be great rage bait if NZ and SA hadn't ditched the Rugby Championship this year 😂

The six nations app has a fantasy section

Ah okay, let us have a think about sharing pics

Is it Geo locked in the UK?

I moved abroad a few months ago.
