Well it is uphill from there. Don’t see a Sharks win at all. Let us hope we just keep em from getting the 4 tries. That is all we can hope for it seems.
Maybe we get a try then we back in it just don’t even see that happening.
190 – GBS, JOHN MUST move back to Hooker. Our scrums will be far better.

Carter to clear…
197@ Puma – I agree, Tjarks just need a good tight head too

We need to play for 80 mins, even if we lose. Don’t want the team to give up.
Now lets see…
Sharks scrum more solid this time around…
