The band is back together, the Henco van Wyk hype train and Portia Woodman, the record breaker

RugbyBits

Jared, Kooks, Shaun and Thala are (finally!) all back together to review the weekend’s rugby.

We start with the URC and the Stormers comeback victory over the Lions in Johannesburg, lead by Manie Libbok in scintillating form. We also discuss the performance of the Lions loose trio and we recruit more members to the Henco van Wyk hype train.

We review the Bulls dominating win over the Sharks at Loftus. While the Bulls saw strong performances from Johan Goosen and David Kriel, it’s same old same old for the Sharks.

We turn to international rugby and a lackluster win for the All Blacks in Japan and Australia’s last gasp winner Scotland with a smart play from Nic White, leading to a Kinghorn v Hastings v Russell debate about the Scottish flyhalf position.

We finish off by looking at the women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinals ,Portia Woodman claiming the most tries in Rugby World Cup history and gauge the chances France and Canada could spring upsets against the Black Ferns and the Red Roses.
