United Rugby Championship special with AP Cronje

The Rugby Bits Podcast previews the upcoming United Rugby Championship with the Bulls, Sharks, and Stormers all in action.

 

The full squad is joined by chief rugby Twitter pot-stirrer AP Cronje, as he continues to offend rugby fans throughout the British Isles in our URC quarterfinal previews.

This is our second podcast of the week as we covered La Rochelle’s victory over Leinster in the Champions Cup final.

The Bulls v Sharks

In the Bulls v Sharks game, we debate what the Sharks’ game plan actually is, their lack of fluency in attack, the importance of Thomas du Toit, the emergence of Johan Grobbelaar and the Bulls ability in the lineout.

 

The Stormers v Edinburgh

For the Stormers v Edinburgh game, we preview the titanic scrum battle between the two, look at Deon Fourie v Hamish Watson and expect to see a flurry of tries from the two best attacking teams in the URC.

 

Ulster v Munster

In the Ulster v Munster game, we look at the importance of Peter O’Mahony and Nick Timoney and the midfield battle between Damian de Allende and Stuart McCloskey.

 

Leinster v Glasgow Warriors

Finally, we give Glasgow very little chance of upsetting a wounded Leinster team (which probably means Glasgow will now win).

 

We also discuss some of the lesser-known players we think will steal headlines this weekend which include Johan Grobbelaar, Phepsi Buthelezi, James Hume and Canaan Moodie.

 

In our First Phase segment, we discuss players we didn’t rate but have surprised us with how good they are.
