Geez ,just sitting here enjoying watching Gloucester/Bristol game, and reminds me again how much the development of artificial turf has allowed these team to play open rugby. Where as once they were playing in mud etc so often, teams u there struggled to really open games up, now the skills etc seem to be used all the time without fear. Anyway 21-20 at halftime in entertaining game!

McMillan's great start at Munster continues with a dominant 31-14 win at Leinster. Leinster had the majority of their Irish internationals playing.

Looking at the Leinster team that got thrashed by the Stormers, it isn't just the SA teams that send a B team for away games.

Leinster one from four so far this season, their win was against a sharks team that has lost every game so far. Both of these teams are performing well below their potential. Sharks lost to an average team yesterday even though they had 13 current springboks on the field.

@sparky looks one hell of talent .
@Steven-Harris He plays like a cross between Israel Folau and Christian Cullen. Probably a question of when, rather than if, he plays for England. One hell of a talent that's for sure.

@sparky has a superb running style for a big lad , can shift into another gear if required and his skills in the air are superb .everyone else in the world seems to be developing players with top end pace except NZ atm

@Steven-Harris He's been invited to train with, but not formally named as part, of Steve Borthwick's 36-man squad for the November Internationals:

John Plumtree finding the going hard as his Sharks get done over 26 - 34 at home by the unbeaten (but usually bog average) Ulster outfit and plummet to second last in the standings. Fortunately for them they are in the company of poor Welsh outfits Scarlets and Dragons so at least have that as some comfort in their effort to avoid getting any lower on the table.

Plumtree must be getting worried about his job after two seasons of sub par performance.
