Will be very sad if we loose this one.
Karen, we might as well just sort out all the anzac refs while we at it then,:mrgreen:
I wish that Goode would stop playing with his hair.
Komaan Ruan Peanut wen die game, goed om te sien jy kan nog rugby speel.
o no who is going to kick now, did the Sharks concede now.
Ok Treehugger – we might as well take out all the anzac ref and some of the northern hemisphere refs – we will clean this evil world of evil refs 😀
Cmon guys 8 minutes left, you can score 2 if you really make the effort.
Goody thanks bud you had a good game.
A Goode game…
Sharks moet kophou
Who is the impartial Aus commentator ?
did the sharks make any subs except for the ndugane one?
so sad 😥
Treehugger he is probably on some sort of drug because one does not get impartial Aussie commentators

Well done to both teams, and congrats to the Brumbies except the little maggot who blatently slapped our guy in the face.

Am out of here. Sorry Treehugger and of course Puma – really thought the Sharks could do it today.
blouste @ 231
24/22 brumbies!! eish!!
Eish i feel like crying……….
But to be honest that was not the angry Sharks i thought i will see today.
How did this team fall so far behind.
The Sharks also questioned to many line calls, Marks ?? was he the guy that decided on all the short line kicks?

He’s absolutely the kakkest player in the Sharks team. His defense and wonderful passing ability is helpful for all opposition sides. He adds absolutely bugger all.
