I think most of us (if slightly reluctantly) will be supporting Gloucester in the final, but won't be too unhappy with a loss...

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
In every other circumstance, I would be supporting a European club over a SA club! Gloucester is an extremely decent, proper club, but if it means that we have to play in the lower competition, especially with the financial implications, then for me it is a no brainer to support the opposition.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2024 7:22 pmI think most of us (if slightly reluctantly) will be supporting Gloucester in the final, but won't be too unhappy with a loss...

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
My mate Posh Richard will be in his Gloucester garb. I have to support Sharks or else the banter and the pint per try drinking game doesn't work!

I think there was a 5 try all draw at WR that left us in bother with our respective other halves!Cagey Tiger wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 10:45 amThat could be challenging if you supported Quins or Brizzle

yep - in gate receipts and TV revenue - and you arguably travel further. It's a significant financial hit.

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
Read the Sharks team, thought I was looking at the SA team till I reached ex Gloucester player Grobler at no.5
Don't see the Glaws front row getting much change out of
Nche, Mbonambi, Koch
Especially with Etzebeth one of the ones shoving...

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
I hope it’s a decent game. It’s both teams only chance to get in the senior competition next season so can’t get past a Sharks winTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 12:25 pm Read the Sharks team, thought I was looking at the SA team till I reached ex Gloucester player Grobler at no.5

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
Looking grim for Glaws, who are getting well and truly stuffed in the set scrum by the Springboks’ front row.

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
Gloucester quick out of the blocks but for no reward. A team that starts frantically, I always feel, is the weaker. When we were in our pomp, we just managed the fury and then dominated the rest of the game. When we were completely rubbish we were one of those teams that started frantically and then fell away.
Glaws look like that.
A severe drubbing is coming, I think.

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks
Need some changes in the second half. Changing the whole front row might help, though I'd have left Seb Blake on. The Glaws kicking game has had little result so far.
