WTF ????
Pienaar gaining about 15 meters…
Tripples, boys, have a great day, let the school run begin.
Chat tomorrow
207 – GBS good I like Deysel. Alberts is a great player too though but Deysel knows these players a lot better.
Now if ONLY sharks can get a try we will be back in it. Just does not look like we will.
kan iemand se wat is die verskillende pack weights vand ie scrums….Live scores se sommer daar is 100kg verskil met die Crtusaders 100kg swaarder? dit kan mossie wees nie?
BIG hit on Deysel…
209 – Tripps, For sure. John plays hooker our scrum is far, far better.
Sharks attacking Saders line now…
215 – Blouste, Deysel is like a huge ram, he can take. Seen him once he is a bloody solid big oke.
Scrum Sadres in their 22…
kom sharkies………..
Come on Saders !!! Baby needs new shoes 😆
John Smit is off for blood at the moment
Sharks having trouble with the finishing….
Trips @ 214
Vra maar vir Puma, die verkil tussen ‘n 100 en 10 is net een verkeerde druk op die keyboard. 😆
Line out..Saders 10 meter
Keegan Daniel on for Botes
Our scrum is just plain rubbish and John is not even on the field. Off to the blood bin. When he comes back on we need him at hooker.
Sharks ball…
221@ R_P – Looks like your Saders will grind out a win
Crusaders line-out in Sharks 22
226 – GBS, I still like the idea of Deysel 6, Alberts 7 and Kanko at 8. Our loose trio would be superb. No need really for a true fetcher this year.
1 drie in twee en ‘n halwe wedstryd vertel die hele storie.
Saders penalty 5 out from Sharkss line…
231@ Puma – There is still room for the fetchers, in fact one needs to double-team in a tackle…. one tackles, the fetcher who is not part of the tackle then steals.
So, one actually needs 2 fast fetchers
GBS they had better do more than that – I want expensive shoes ! 😯
Stefan gives a penalty away offside. Bugger man, keep the discipline how bloody hard is that.
Saders 16 / 6
16 – 6 Saders
Please guys, whats happening.
Carstens on for Sharks … Beast off
Goode oon
