That’s more accurate than you think.
Saint,I have heard the same thing,I wonder how all these rumours started?
Fark, once again….. take your 3-point penalties!!!!!!!!!
Morning Winston. See it was Lambie too that scored the try. Reading it here. Missed a lot of the game cause of no power in our area. Pleased it is on now.
Okay back to the tv.
Agreed Gbs,lets win first then try do the fancy stuff..

I heard it was said “tongue in cheek”…
Yeah Puma,the guy is pure class,might be the next big thing,but lets see if he can be consistently good..
66@ Duiwel – Eishhhhhhhhhhhh…. hahahahaha
Goode is rubbish.
Saint,if it was I dont want to see the image of that :p Dont insult Frans,he is my favourite player and it still hurts that he is gone and lost to Bok rugby..
Sharks have dominated so far….
#69
I think that quoute can safely be called a contradiction in terms…
His name should be bad Puma 🙂
#70
He will be back, I can guarantee it, the lure of a World Cup will always remain.
True,but the Sharks should have never let him go in the first place..
#75
They wouldn’t have been able to stop him, it’s like the Jacque Fourie thing, let him sow his Wild Oats, he will return more mature, and more certain of his worth.
Why dont the Hurricanes have more crossing..
John Smit does not argue clever nowadays, the refs are fed up with him, hope he does not lose so many “bekgevegte” for the Boks later this season.
Canes now hot on attack…. they get an easy penalty…going for posts.
What is happening in the game? Sounds very boring, not even Supersport’s live scores gives an indication?
Agreed Saint,I think he got a bit of a raw deal at times but still think his decision to go for such a long thing was a rash decision,a year by all means but 3 years was insane..
Sharks 7 / 6
10-6 to the Sharks 🙂
Sharks 10 / 6
I really dont see why the Sharks reckon that FS can make such a big difference in their team. He is good but surely not the savior they make him to be.
Nice one Ruan. 10/6 Sharks.

They need more than just a player, they need divine intervention…
Problem is Super we dont have a play maker at the moment,he would have been great at 12 this year because the back line does not have much direction at the moment..
85 – Super, Would you have Frans Steyn at inside centre or Swannie? I would have Frans Steyn everyday of the week. Now there is the huge difference.
Also give us JLP for FH and we all set. You have Morne… 😆
85
He is in short, overrated.
