Unbeaten Stormers, Disappointing Sharks and Springbok Autumn Nations Series Squad

Shaun and Thala look back on week 5 of the URC and dive deep into the Springbok squad for the November tests.

We praise the Stormers for maintaining their unbeaten start and looking like the best side in the URC. We wonder how the Bulls almost lost to Connacht after dominating most of the game. We discuss why the Lions game was so bad for 60 minutes, but at least they can take home a bonus point and we do yet another Sharks post mortem after another embarrassing loss, debate the Makazole Mapimpi red card and suspension.

The Springbok squad had few surprises but we look at what uncapped youngster Zachary Porthen can add to the Boks and returning players like Gerhard Steenekamp and BJ Dixon. We look through some of the other November international squads selected as we start getting excited for all the test rugby coming up.

Finally we look at the aftermath of Munster outclassing Leinster at Croke Park, whether Ulster are for real and why we will stop saying good things about Benetton.
