Go sharks, good match
Kom Sharkies, wen ‘n grote.
Sharks begin met ‘n bang…
running out of 22 sharks. This will lose you the game.
6 The Sharks keep the ball in hand with some enterprisig play with Kankowski on the outside…there is a kick through by Ndungane and Carter is forced to carry it over his own line and dot it down for a Sharks 5m scrum.
Crusaders besig om terug te baklei…
Kickable penalty Crusaders…
More Blouste
Saders now in the Sharks 22m area
Going for the line out….then blow it – well done Sharks
Need to keep the discipline. Especially with a kiwi ref there.
Crusaders line-out in all sorts of shambles….
Saders line-outs are terrible so far
10 Eliis uses his forwards to bash the ball up into the Sharks half… Du Plessis is penalised for lying on the ball and the Crusaders opt for the attacking line-out.
8 From the scrum there is an early engargement by the Sharks and a free-kick but Carter doesn’t find touch and Terblanche runs it back… there is some airial ping-pong now before Jacobs is bundled into touch.
Ndungane hond :poop: in daai tackle…
