What a super weekend of competitive rugby , both URC and Rugby Championship all games so so close, makes for extremely good watching , edge of the seat stuff. And well done URC highlights, finally listened to the fans as Mark said. All in all a pretty pretty great start with great turnouts with the saffas starting next weekend onwards and upwards.

Munster v Connacht really set the tone for what will be a fascinating 4th season for the URC. Each year, it continues to grow, and each season, the games are getting more and more competitive. The fact that all of the results were determined by less than a converted try speaks volumes, and the Saffas haven't even played yet!

I thought that we were very lucky to get the result. I felt for the Connaught players were at the end, It shows how far the league has come when you see how visibly gutted the Connaught players were at the end of the game on round 1 away from home

Considering he was red carded in the semi-final against Glasgow last season, Alex Nankivell has made a hell of a comeback after he got the Player Of The Match award. A major asset to the team without question.

Was in Ireland and saw the Munster/Connaught match last night. As a Munster supporter I was very impressed with Connaught and Ioane. They probably should have won it. Was a loose game. Munster struggled to get the 3rd pass away all game. The yellow card probably made the difference, terribly timed headshot, should’ve given up the try. In hindsight Connaught gave away 14 points and the momentum as a result.

The Munster v Connacht game was very exciting and I'm not a fan of either team. I felt sorry for Connacht, they were absolutely terrific and didn't really deserve to lose. Very impressed with the Kiwi imports in both teams. Ioane seems to have formed an instant and effective partnership with Ben Murphy and Nankivell was brilliant for Munster. How you guys can spare such good players is insane but I think they will both do well in Ireland. Morgan was good on debut for Ulster too.

Fantastic first weekend of URC. Can we have a better season than the first three? We are blessed. Munster vs Connaught and Glasgow vs Ulster were the two best games I watched this weekend. How Coombes was not in the Irish side who played the Springboks I don't understand. As for Glasgow, Dobie impressed me. He looks like a very good scrumhalf.

Like John Hodnett not being capped by the Ireland team it is all politics. John Hodnett despite winning URC 2022-2023 tackle machine with 96 percent and being part of a winning team including getting a try or two in the grand final against Stormers will never be picked because I guess robotic flankers are better than spontaneity flankers like John Hodnett in the eyes of IRFU selectors. I think John Hodnett is better than Gavin Coombes.
