Yes buddy I can't wait for this game. I hope Munster win, because that Leinster side is going to run away with the league with their squad. Soembody has to stop them. 😂
Totally agree that the URC is the best league in the world, and the Saffer teams have added a whole new level of play to all the teams. For Glasgow to win at Loftus in the last final (OK, OK with an SA coach!) was great for the game as a whole, the URC as a whole, and was a fantastic game itself!! Long may it continue to go higher and higher.
yeah @Dk I watched their latest game, and was quite surprised at how they put their game together, particularly impressive was their TIGHT PHASES OF LOOSE PLAY!! which led to some tries, i think
I was a huge super rugby fan. While I’m a Stormers supporter I loved watching the Highlanders, Sharks and Brumbies in Super Rugby and I do miss my Sanzaar family, but the traveling was a big onerous
The URC is the best thing that happened to SA rugby since readmission. I love the competition and as a South African supporter I can't wait for this weekends game between Munster and Leinster. Who would have thought? Lets just hope it continues for many years to come.
Super Rugby? Who needs Super Rugby. Love our Scottish, Irish and Italian partners in the game. Times work, locations work, cameraderie works, player and coaching staff opportunities work and finances work. Works for me.
Saffa. The move was 100% the right thing for our game. It's competitive and the games are more or less in the same time zone. South African players who play for non-South African teams get a chance to develop their game while someone else foots the bill. All round it's a win-win for us. NZ and Aus's loss...
@@MikeSmuts hey @MS you are correct, they did say before only the top tiered players (test rugby) could travel and play in the North, but the URC allows the next tiered players that opportunity! and please subscribe to Clutch, we love the knowledgeable viewer
Munster and Leinster are like Boca Juniors and River Plate, Real Madrid and Barcelona, Celtic and Rangers, AC and Inter Milan. The rivalry is shaped by more than the sport
We want South Africa to do better. It is clear that the Rugby forming in the north is extremely strong. The NZ and AUS teams are stupid for not joining in on the fun. They will fall behind and the Northern Hemisphere along with South Africa will stay on top. It's great to have our boytjies having fun up there. Look at the awesome results we got when our players started playing for Northern Clubs. I love my country so much.
@ClutchRugbyXV you have no idea how grateful I am that I don't have to wake up for a 7 am or a 9am game after a hectic Friday night, few tournaments in and still very grateful, come home 4am and know I'll still be able to watch the lions😭
Bulls fan here, love the URC, it's been very engaging to watch and quite competitive. 3 seasons, 3 winners, from 3 different countries. I was at Loftus for that Bulls vs Glasgow final, and even though we lost in the end, the atmosphere was electric. Not to mention being part of the Champions Cup, which is definitely a level of club rugby I didn't see much when we were in Super Rugby
Sadly, (as it’s been bad for ‘Southern Hemisphere’ Rugby) I fear that NZ & Australian rugby administrator arrogance & poor judgment cost them dearly in the fact of & manner in which they turfed SA rugby. To their credit the SA administrators & sides seemed to prove flexible and adept enough to quickly adapt to & thrive in a Northern Hemisphere competition. Everyone ‘up north’ appears to have benefitted.
It's the South African way: no sooner do we face a challenge, then our minds just can't help but to start looking for opportunity in adversity....strength through adversity.
I've been saying for years the day SA move from super rugby is the start of the decline of the ABs and now it's been proven that SA was keeping the ABs good they will never be the same again and now the refs are also starting to be a bit more impartial and fair unlike in the McCaw era when everything just went for the ABs and blatantly so.. luv the URC
SA teams are still warming up to this competition. Even us fans are typically interested in watching the local head-to-head games. I am planning on watching all the Sharks home games this year. I think I watched 4 last year.
With SA inclusion, I find it crazy how Leinster are perpetual favourites and still haven’t won the competition. I’m so glad we joined! I’d be open to the Boks being part of both the 6N as well as TRC and using the July and November windows to play lesser tier nations. One year touring the Americas, another year we tour the Pacific, then another year it’s the African continent and then another year we tour Europe.
URC really feels like the best product out there right now. Rarely do you find a league where all the teams involved benefit on and off the field, the results are shown even on the international stage. Long may it continue and hopefully they don't let this all go because of greed and neglect just because they're making enough money. Sharks, Lions let's get those numbers up at the stadium
I miss the free running of Super Rugby, but move North has been a big catalyst for Bok rugby evolving. Getting used to the often pedantic Northern hemisphere reffing can be a challenge, but helps the Boks at international level, where as AB's & Aus have to adapt much more to interpretations, as their domestic refs can't officiate their international games
The free running end-to-end basketball rugby is most off-putting to me....don't get me wrong, I love running rugby, but I love a game that requires tactical superiority prior to it breaking open. A beautifully placed kick, a dominant scrum, big dominant hits, that's what makes rugby special to me.
It is fantastic for SA rugby as a whole, and rugby as a whole, too! And I hope (against hope probably, seeing the politics like us losing the 2023 RWC) that Rassie can become chairman of World Rugby - after winning a third in a row RWC in dry conditions for a change - and take his genius, and WR, to another level.
Imagine a world where the premiership teams join the urc and you have a 1st and second devision urc tournament.with promotion relagation making the bottom of the log games count .That would mean strength vs strength all weekend long.also imagine a world with a week or 2 more set aside for international test matches in November and june so tier 2 teams get more game time against tier one and we can got backto 3 test series tours in July. This ,my fellow rugby fans,this would be a perfect world.
Apparently the Argies returning to Super Rugby in 2026 may help save face for ANZ (not the bank). But with that being said, not surprising if it doesn't match the URC atmosphere that South Africa is enjoying at the moment with the best of both worlds.
You compared average attendances in the Top 14 and Premiership to a one off game in the URC and used it as definitive proof of the URC being better. Reality is the average attendances are lower and a URC team hasn’t won the champions cup since the South Africans joined despite Leinster basically being the Irish national side that has won back to back six nations
the champions cup hasn't got anything to do with the urc urc is the most competitive any team can win generally the stormers bulls munster leinster glasgow sharks ulster have good attendences the welsh and italian teams are not the best the top 14 suck because toulouse are the only winners premiership is very boring and super rugby predictable nz team will win it for the next 20 yrs urc will have 10 different winners in 12 yrs
Sacha FM is a flyhalf/fullback/centre...definitely not a scrumhalf 9:17 I hated leaving SuperRugby, because it was undoubtedly the best and most entertaining club/provincial rugby comp I had ever seen through the Super10/Super12 years...but times changed, SuperRugby lost its glimmer...and ultimately it was the right decision for SA Rugby to move north, especially considering all the politics going on behind the scenes at SANZAR
Every one getting way too excited- SA will be the first to be chopped as the Premiership is failing and is now eyeing the URC in a joint venture or actually joining the URC.
Tht's just hearsay (not only SA-Teams but Italian-Teams as well) believed to hve been initiated by British-teams as a lot of their Clubs going-under Financially so hoping URC cld be their life-line but not likely to happen..... URC-Board well aware of how bringing SA-Teams into URC-Competition has elevated the Competition & so are Rugby-lovers so like I said it's all hearsay!!!!
Nobody wants to prop up the premiership....Poms had their snoots in the air, looking down on the Pro12 (think that used to be URC, prior to becoming Pro14 and then URC). Now the URC is the premier club competition, and the Poms want the URC to repeat the mistakes of Oz and NZ. The measure of stupidity, would be for the URC to comply with the Poms short sighted demands.
As a Scottish Rugby, Glasgow & Edinburgh Supporter. I don’t want the failing English league joining up with URC. Too much arrogance over the past decades.
Hey @Dk good to see ya bruh.....tricky one you got there ....Stormers, Munster, Glasgow in a row, 3 different nations in 3 different years (22, 23, 24) .... gunna give an answer after a few more rounds
hahaha it starts with a biased comments comparing attendance in one top URC game with averages in Premiership and top 14 From the start i knew it was flawed
@@jlsimonable hey @JS please subscribe to Clutch bro, it would be appreciated👍( I like the little’hahaha’ at the beginning ) , with a 10 min vid you can only get so much info on👍
@@reeld99 Lions will always have an empty looking stadium due to how dangerous the location surrounding is. Capacity of these big SA stadiums are all 50k+ so some can look empty as the camera angles face away from the sun (same reason the fans sit out of the sunny side of the stadium) There are still good attendances at those games. A few other issues included the Currie Cup Final, and Rugby Championship running into the opening of the URC - Scheduling needs a slight fix. Welsh teams have been consistently poor sadly in attendance due to their poor management financially and performances on the Field. Cardiff has started to look promising again at least.
as the Premiership is having problems here's the deal for them joining the URC: they would have to convince Wales first to merge to 2 teams (should be enough from Wales), then 5 English, 5 South African, 4 Irish, 2 Scottish, 2 Italian, 2 Welsh franchises, makes it 20 - every team against eachother once, then make 5 "shields" were they play the return game against eachother - total 23 games + playoffs ..... of course the European Cups would have to be scrapped .... maybe just play the winner of the URC vs the winner of Top14 ..... pretty sure that revised URC would beat the Top14 as the best league in the world .....
would choose Saracens, Harlequins, Bristol Bears, Leicester Tigers and Sale Sharks as the 5 from England (maybe instead of Bristol, Bath, so visitors have some sightseeing program ....)
Better choice will probably be an Anglo-Welsh comp. Like how in football the Welsh teams have the chance to qualify for the Premier League. But rather than having the Welsh regions joining, revive the Welsh club teams to be the top Welsh teams again, and disband the Regions and add the teams to the Championship for the 1st season, then the top 4 of the Championship that qualify with the premiership requirements advance to the Premiership
The problem with Super Rugby is that a NZ team will most likely be the champions again while the URC has had 3 different champions from 3 different countries in 3 seasons. The URC is much more competitive than Super Rugby. The URC is only growing year on year and will eventually be the number 1 Rugby Union League in the the world.
I just wish they'd sort out the travelling arrangements - Qatar Qattle Qlass sounds really kak for rugby players. Do it the French way - I travelled up from Joburg to Heathrow in April in the same plane as the Lyon players who had been thrashed the day before by the Bulls, and they were all in Business Class! [BTW that was obviously a Champion's cup match but close enough... ]
@@ClutchRugbyXV Yes. And they do it again in summer, but that gets around 40,000. Saracens do 55,000 in Tottenham stadium when they host harlequins. Leinster will do 80,000 this weekend. Toulouse play some games in the larger stadium but is sadly only 33,000 but last time they played there the demand was far higher, as 90,000 people tried to get tickets. Toulouse also had expansion plans to go to 40,000 but that fell through. This one i am not a familiar with but I believe Toulon vs Toulouse get around 40,000 in Marseille stadium. La Rochelle would expand, but don’t have the space. A large proportion of the 16,000 seats are season tickets, for which the waitlist i’ve heard is about 2 years. However there are sadly clubs the complete polar opposite like Newcastle and Sale who get around 5,000. And zebre even less
@@ClutchRugbyXV Also a few years back, The Top 14 final was held in spain in Camp Nou. Still holds club rugby record attendance at 99,000. (unless there was one higher before health and safety was a thing 😂)
No judgment here in terms of your pronunciation of Mngomezulu as some South Africans struggle but calling him a scrumhalf? Interesting video nonetheless
I don't think he ever said that. Not even implied in the title. The point of the video was to analyse SA's impact into creating what the URC has become, in that case it is mostly South Africa. Or do you think it's the English lapdog Welsh or hit and miss Italians that boosted it to sky high records. Just eat the humble pie bud. Scotland and Ireland are always solid as well.
@@ClutchRugbyXV I will just because I was personally asked. Plus your content is solid. This was my first vid and I watched a couple others, look forward to seeing you skyrocket in the youtube rugby scene, which you almost definitely will. The recipe from the current trends and an educated guess is don't hate on the boks and admire what SA are doing and you'll be golden, worked for Eggchasers, Timm all the way. But you're solid too bru.
@@ClutchRugbyXV We would appreciate you doing your homework before posting a video. Players positions within teams are easily attainable information. I think your attendance numbers at stadiums are skewed as well. I will not be subscribing. Cheers!
If only SA fans can get behind our teams and fill up those empty stadiums.. really heartbreaking to see. Some fixtures like Stormers vs Bulls pulls the fans.. but still- way too empty
@@ClutchRugbyXV South African home games aren't much better outside of derby's. couple thousand for the recent games, and for the games when the Springboks aren't playing they still aren't half the capacity of the stadiums despite millions living in the cities.
Some really bad data given in this video 🤦🏾♂️ it’s bad enough you butcher Sacha Feinberg-Mnogomezulu’s name but you can’t even look up what position he plays? Less AI when writing your scripts next time please.
The NZRU have always been incredibly arrogant, and I hate to say, quite crooked at times (as in their ref, Bryce Williams cheating the Boks out of a semifinal place in 2011 by his pathetic reffing in the GF against the Aussies, a much easier opponent for the winless-for-20-RWC-years ABs in their home RWC) and really deserve all they're not getting at the moment. Stewing in their own juice.

Better choice will probably be an Anglo-Welsh comp. Like how in football the Welsh teams have the chance to qualify for the Premier League.
But rather than having the Welsh regions joining, revive the Welsh club teams to be the top Welsh teams again, and disband the Regions and add the teams to the Championship for the 1st season, then the top 4 of the Championship that qualify with the premiership requirements advance to the Premiership
The problem with Super Rugby is that a NZ team will most likely be the champions again while the URC has had 3 different champions from 3 different countries in 3 seasons. The URC is much more competitive than Super Rugby. The URC is only growing year on year and will eventually be the number 1 Rugby Union League in the the world.
if it’s not already so!
I just wish they'd sort out the travelling arrangements - Qatar Qattle Qlass sounds really kak for rugby players. Do it the French way - I travelled up from Joburg to Heathrow in April in the same plane as the Lyon players who had been thrashed the day before by the Bulls, and they were all in Business Class!
[BTW that was obviously a Champion's cup match but close enough... ]

Yoh i spit out Cyril's water when i heard that😂😂
Harlequins in the perm does an 80,000 game every year
is this at Twickenham....
@@ClutchRugbyXV Yes. And they do it again in summer, but that gets around 40,000. Saracens do 55,000 in Tottenham stadium when they host harlequins. Leinster will do 80,000 this weekend. Toulouse play some games in the larger stadium but is sadly only 33,000 but last time they played there the demand was far higher, as 90,000 people tried to get tickets. Toulouse also had expansion plans to go to 40,000 but that fell through. This one i am not a familiar with but I believe Toulon vs Toulouse get around 40,000 in Marseille stadium.
La Rochelle would expand, but don’t have the space. A large proportion of the 16,000 seats are season tickets, for which the waitlist i’ve heard is about 2 years. However there are sadly clubs the complete polar opposite like Newcastle and Sale who get around 5,000. And zebre even less

@@ClutchRugbyXV Also a few years back, The Top 14 final was held in spain in Camp Nou. Still holds club rugby record attendance at 99,000. (unless there was one higher before health and safety was a thing 😂)
@@rowan_8755 😅
No judgment here in terms of your pronunciation of Mngomezulu as some South Africans struggle but calling him a scrumhalf? Interesting video nonetheless
you are a Gentleman🎩, so you must sub to Clutch🙏.... mate it was purely a syntax error and thanks for watching
1:56 "The Pro 14 didn't have the same draw to it as other competitions".
Shows a crowd of 46,000 at a Pro14 final.

@@BasicKustoms TY @BK !
Saying its all South Africa is wrong.
It's not all south africa but without their inclusion it would still be the Pro 14 which wasn't nearly as well supported. What are your thoughts
I don't think he ever said that. Not even implied in the title. The point of the video was to analyse SA's impact into creating what the URC has become, in that case it is mostly South Africa. Or do you think it's the English lapdog Welsh or hit and miss Italians that boosted it to sky high records. Just eat the humble pie bud.
Scotland and Ireland are always solid as well.
@@yldan1753 hey @YL please subscribe
@@eamonlyons8069 that wasn’t our intention to give you that conclusion, either way please subscribe to Clutch👍
@@ClutchRugbyXV I will just because I was personally asked. Plus your content is solid. This was my first vid and I watched a couple others, look forward to seeing you skyrocket in the youtube rugby scene, which you almost definitely will.
The recipe from the current trends and an educated guess is don't hate on the boks and admire what SA are doing and you'll be golden, worked for Eggchasers, Timm all the way. But you're solid too bru.
sasha isnt a scumhalf just letting you know
thats correct bruh, it was a syntax error 👍appreciate the view

The Boks are the Big Dog in Town
BTW Sacha is a flyhalf not a scrumhalf. And a centre, wing, fullback...
Sacha Fienberg Mngomezulu is a flyhalf not a scrumhalf
@@uganrajoo8379 yup, it was a syntax error👍
Eben isn't in the bomb squad and Sascha isn't a scrum half
appreciate the view👍
@@ClutchRugbyXV We would appreciate you doing your homework before posting a video. Players positions within teams are easily attainable information. I think your attendance numbers at stadiums are skewed as well. I will not be subscribing. Cheers!
@@Alias-gy3tz thanks for watching bruh
@@Alias-gy3tz Cheers bruh
If only SA fans can get behind our teams and fill up those empty stadiums.. really heartbreaking to see. Some fixtures like Stormers vs Bulls pulls the fans.. but still- way too empty
you were doing so well until you got to Sacha😭...great watch though.
Thanks🙏
Super rugby sucks😂...
Definitely not what it once was
@@Dkouts yup, it’s rather sad looking at the empty stadiums, even in Rugby strongholds like Eden Park!!!
@@ClutchRugbyXV South African home games aren't much better outside of derby's. couple thousand for the recent games, and for the games when the Springboks aren't playing they still aren't half the capacity of the stadiums despite millions living in the cities.
Some really bad data given in this video 🤦🏾♂️ it’s bad enough you butcher Sacha Feinberg-Mnogomezulu’s name but you can’t even look up what position he plays? Less AI when writing your scripts next time please.
purely syntax error, my man, peace
Just call him Sasha FM & stay tuned, he's going places!

The disrespect for South Africa is real, and we always have the last laugh.
The NZRU have always been incredibly arrogant, and I hate to say, quite crooked at times (as in their ref, Bryce Williams cheating the Boks out of a semifinal place in 2011 by his pathetic reffing in the GF against the Aussies, a much easier opponent for the winless-for-20-RWC-years ABs in their home RWC) and really deserve all they're not getting at the moment. Stewing in their own juice.
It's a kak league😂
appreciate the view👍👍
