Week 7 – Did URC That?

Welcome to this week’s edition of Did URC That? – our weekly chance to have a look at five of the more interesting video clips from over the past weekend of Vodacom URC action and have as much fun with it as we can.

Here we go…

1. LIP GLOSS BOSS

Trevor Nyakane can clearly be seen here licking his lips before taking the hit on a scrum engage. 

It must have been his favourite flavoured Lip Ice, because what the Sharks scrum went through against the Stormers in that match was everything but lekker.

2. BACKGROUND NOISE

As every one of you with a mobile phone knows, trying to capture meaningful conversations when there is alcohol in the vicinity is an almost impossible task. Our favourite TV influencer, Vanes-Mari du Toit, knows that well enough – and she’d surely have prepared as good as she could.

 But no-one can stop a photobomb extremist. (Except for his wife, and she was probably in the bathroom).

3. BENCH PRESSED

How should one react when you witness up close how your team goes from a definite final-minute win to a definite same-move loss - without being able to hear or see anything?

Here is a instruction video brought to you by the Stormers bench…

4. COMMITMENT ISSUES

The referee let this one slide (so not even a penalty) because apparently this particular Connachta’s left pinkie was “committed to the tackle”. As if we don’t mistrust TMOs in Europe enough already.

The tackle was so late, the Bulls captain was well within his rights to insist on a pregnancy test.

5. BABY SHARK

Speaking of which, did you know that Eben Etzebeth has committed to raising a new child? One called Grant Williams. Much respect, big man!
