good team effort though
thanks all for the support and congratulations , good to see SA standing together
237 – Winston, for sure. John is a real team player. Pure class as a captain.
244 – Old Griquas, Thanks mate. Sharks needed that win today. We a far better team than our results show. So hoping some more wins. Also really enjoyed watching the younster Lambie at FB. Pure talent he is.
Just watched our boys in the 7’s there in Oz now.
2443 – Sharky, What I say for a long time now? PLAY Lambie. At long last he gets a chance. Only cause of a injury. He has taken that chance with both hands. PURE CLASS is our Lambie.
241 – Fender, Thanks buddy.
lol hiyas puma agreed but i been telling you same thing
lambie is a star of note….
251 – Sharky, For sure. Lambie impressed me. He is going to be a great. Should have been playing from the start.
John too playing out of position but played well. A real team man. Good on our captain.
Ruan getting all the kicks over. Good to see that, it will give him some confidence.
251 – Sharky, For once too the match officials were good today. Sharks have been very unlucky with the refs. Today they were good. (Not cause we won) They were fair to both sides.
251 – The kiwi commentators seemed very impressed with Lambie too. 😀
Now when will Mvovo get a chance? Zuks should too. Play the younsters. Well think Mvovo is 25 already. Needs to get a chance.
