So....about potential new Leinster recruit Conrad Hoffman....
- 0 pts in 1st half tho prob mostly down to F Steyn
- fair enough distribution passing-wise
- kicking erratic, one good one, a few bad ones
- bounced off a few tackles but made a key covering tackle before halftime
- had a role off a scrum for try after halftime
- to be fair, all the above criticisms could be levelled at several other Sharks players
