SA-born Wes Goosen: Edinburgh can beat Bulls again
SA-born fullback Wes Goosen expects Edinburgh to 'go toe to toe' with the Vodacom Bulls in Saturday's URC quarter-final at Loftus Versfeld.
Goosen was born in East London before emigrating to New Zealand with his family at the age of four. He represented Wellington and the Hurricanes before joining Edinburgh in 2022.
The 29-year-old returns to South Africa for Saturday's URC quarter-final against the Vodacom Bulls and will have relatives watching in the stands.
The Bulls beat Edinburgh 22-16 in the URC league stage last October, but lost the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter-final against Sean Everitt's side at Hive Stadium, 34-28.

'It gives us the confidence it can be done,' said Goosen of that play-off victory. 'For the first 60 minutes of the game in Edinburgh, we really dominated and then we let them back in.
'But if we do what we do, we push them and stay in the hard moments, I think we can go toe to toe with the Bulls.
'It's not going to be easy. They are a very physical team with a lot of superstars, but you look at our team – we've got good players as well.'

'Winkgate': Nienaber defends Sharks' Hendrikse in row over gamesmanship
JOHANNESBURG - Former Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has weighed in on the infamous "winkgate" incident from this past weekend. In what has inexplicably become the biggest scandal in the sport, Sharks scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse is accused by Munster supporters, and others, of shameless gamesmanship and violating the so-called #RugbyValues. Hendrikse has been blamed for faking a cramp to distract Munster kicker Jack Crowley during the penalty shootout between the teams in their URC quarterfinal on Saturday. SuperSport's cameras showed Hendrikse winking at Crowley as he was lying on the turf and receiving treatment, which incensed Munster and Irish supporters. Crowley managed to get his kick over, and the moment had little bearing on the outcome as the Sharks converted all their kicks to win 6-4. Hendrikse is a player Nienaber knows very well, having handed him his Bok debut in 2021 and included him in the 2023 Rugby World Cup-winning squad. While many online accused Hendrikse of being underhanded and much worse, Nienaber, who is now a coach at Irish powerhouse Leinster, put the incident down to being a normal part of the game. "The banter, or whatever you want to call it, trying to get into the opposition's head, is something that happens throughout the game. You try to do it physically, you try to do it with your mouth, you try to do it at set piece, a lot of things, rubbing guys' hair, faces in the ground, it happens throughout the 80 minutes," said Nienaber Nienaber said he'd come across Irish players who've engaged in similar behaviour and said they're amongst the best at it. He referenced an incident between New Zealand and Ireland in 2022 where a sledge from one of the Irish players, Peter O'Mahony, aimed at All Blacks captain Sam Cane is said to be one of the biggest motivators for the All Blacks in their win in the quarterfinals the following year "You are masters at it, the Irish… The Irish have never fell on their mouths, ever. You ask if Irish players do it? Wasn't there a thing about Pete [O'Mahony] and Sam Cane? So, there's your answer," said Nienaber. Nienaber's Leinster is preparing for the URC semi-finals this weekend, where they'll host the defending champions Glasgow Warriors on Saturday afternoon.

Henco Venter eager for fairy tale Glasgow farewell
The 33-year-old former Cheetahs and Sharks loose forward will be leaving Glasgow Warriors for French side Brive at the end of the season. Henco Venter celebrates his try against the Stormers with Kyle Steyn during their URC quarterfinal at the Scotstoun Stadium on Friday night. Picture: Craig Williamson/SNS Group via Getty Images Former Cheetahs and Sharks loose forward Henco Venter is hoping to enjoy a fairy tale farewell with the Glasgow Warriors by helping them defend their United Rugby Championship (URC) title. But first they must get through their semifinal, against Irish giants, Leinster, in Dublin on Saturday. Venter, back from a six game ban for an accidental eye gouge during their Champions Cup win over Leicester Tigers in April, made a try-scoring return to help Glasgow cruise to a comfortable 36-18 win over the Stormers in their URC quarterfinal over the past weekend. Although this is just his second season with the Scottish side, he has become a firm fan favourite, as evidenced by the standing ovation he received when he was replaced after 72 minutes, with him now set to join French club Brive in the off season. First, however, is the small matter of trying to overcome competition favourites, Leinster, in Dublin, which is a task they will feel they can accomplish. Despite suffering an embarrassing 52-0 loss to them in their Challenge Cup quarterfinal a few months ago, they proved they can challenge them when they pushed them all the way in their final URC pool match, going down 13-5 a couple of weeks ago. The 33-year-old Venter believes they have what it takes to beat any side, and was happy to come away with a win in his final home game at the Scotstoun Stadium. 'It was special. This place is special, I have really enjoyed every second here, so I am just thankful for everything. We definitely can do it (defend their title). We are here for one reason and that is to win the cup, so we are going to be up for it.' Wanted to stay Venter explained in a press conference on Monday that he wanted to extend his stay in Scotland, but was being forced out by a Scottish rugby directive that has instructed their teams to play more 'home grown' players, over non-Scottish qualified players. 'It's a tricky question. It's also from above and all the stuff going on in Scotland regarding foreign players. That's basically one of the main reasons. I love this place and I'd love to stay, but (I'll) leave it there,' said Venter. 'They want more Scottish players and I understand that's their plan going forward and I respect that. I'm not Scottish, so it's a privilege to be here and give back to the club and the country. If they make their plans and have a will to make Scottish rugby better, I hope they succeed in it. 'It's bad and I didn't like it, but it's rugby and you don't take anything personally. Through many years in this game, you learn to accept stuff and just be better where you can be better and perform where you can perform and enjoy every moment. So I'll enjoy this week and hopefully next week.' South African head coach Franco Smith, admitted in April that the situation was out of his hands, and that if he could he would keep Venter, and after the game on Friday night praised his performance, while lamenting him leaving. 'He brought freshness, eagerness, and lifted the group. I'm really proud of him. He's a fantastic player in our environment, a true Warrior, and will be missed,' said Smith.

Bulls and Sharks could serve up another URC knockout classic
The Sharks have beaten the Bulls twice in the URC this season, but the Highveld side won a thrilling quarterfinal knockout between them in season one. It has all the makings of a United Rugby Championship (URC) classic, as the Bulls are set to host the Sharks in a massive semifinal match-up at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday evening. A crowd of over 50,000 fans is expected at what should be a sold-out match, and will pit the country's two strongest unions against each other for a place in the URC final. The Bulls will be hunting a third final appearance in four seasons, while the Sharks will be hoping to reach the trophy game for the first time, having previously been dumped out at the quarterfinal stage on two occasions. One of them was in the inaugural URC season; an absolute classic of a match that saw the Bulls edge a thrilling 30-27 win thanks to a drop goal from Chris Smith after the fulltime hooter. That game was played while Covid restrictions were still in place, so a boisterous crowd of over 22,000 fans were kept on the edge of their seats throughout a terrific 80-minute contest, that saw the sides level at 13-all at halftime, and 27-all as the clock ticked into the red. A similar contest could be on the cards this weekend, and the in-form Bulls will be favourites, but if any team was to topple them it would be their arch rivals from Durban. The Bulls have only lost four times in 19 URC games this season, but two of those defeats have come against the Sharks, who clinched a tight 20-17 win on the coast, before stunning their rivals with a 29-19 win on the Highveld. Plenty of confidence That will give the visitors plenty of confidence heading into the semis, and after picking up a historic penalty shootout win in their quarterfinal against Munster over the past weekend, which saw 100 minutes of rugby after going to extra time and ending 24-all, they will need everything they can get. Sharks coach John Plumtree admitted that they might amend their training a bit this week due to the extra playing time, but said that was something they would only discuss at training on Monday, after being asked about it in the post-match press conference. 'I haven't even thought about that (the Bulls semifinal). Give me a moment to catch my breath. I am not thinking about that yet. We will get the group together on Monday, see how everyone is and then we might have to adjust our programme a little bit,' said Plumtree. Bulls coach Jake White is himself pleased with his side's efforts in overturning a 21-8 deficit in the first half, to emerge 42-33 victors over Edinburgh in their quarterfinal at Loftus. He was particularly pleased that they were able to fight back, after they suffered a similar slow start to the same team in their Challenge Cup quarterfinal a few months ago, but went on to lose that game. 'We were down but got a (winning) result. Whereas the last time we played them, we didn't,' said a happy White.
