The Waratahs hosted the Sharks in Sydney, Australia on Saturday morning at 10:40 SA Time on Saturday. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Waratahs were gifted an undeserved win of 25 / 21 due to inept reffereeing, by Australian Paul Marks and his Australian Assistants, by not awarding the Sharks arguably a penalty try after a deliberate knock by Kurtley Beale, with the tryline clearly open… and by an equally inept TMO, Australian Mathew Goddard, who awarded a try which should never have been awarded. The Sharks were robbed by an Australian officiating team and questions about the absolute need for neutral refereeing will now again run riot.

Jannie Dup should never be allowed to defoul the game, no form, no dicipline, no scrumming ability, vuilgat… neewat!!!
Who is fatter, Goode, Januarie or Graeme Smith?
ruan to flyhalf now and cockott on is a must
also take off daniel and bring on deysel at 6
Am now really ANGRY!!!!!!!
Just saw the so called try again and that was no where near a try.
SHOCKING REF!!!!!!!!!! mean tv ref
148 – Sharky, How can a TMO that has access to look over and over get it so wrong? Bloody cheats. I replayed it straight away and could see it was not a try. Cheating damn it spoils the game.
Go Sharkies, you can do it, stuff these cheating bastards!
Go win this thing and make my weekend,please….
153 @ Tjarkie – No man, Ruan is not a flyhalf… agree Deysel has to come on for Daniel though
thus i call them cheats puma
its not only the try
knock ons etc
they dropped the scrumm 5 times and git pinned once only
153 – Sharky, PLEASE can Plum do that? I hope man, play Deysel at 6. We should be sening them messages to do that. NONE of them can see that. Play Deysel at 6 Alberts 7 and Kanko at 8. AG, drives me nuts, us supporters can see something and Sharks missing a trick there I feel.
Hiho Sharkie, ROO HUMPING AUSSIES 😆
158 – Sharky, Cause they have a Aussie ref. Not good enough this reffing system. Need to go back to neutral refs. I would go as far as saying so neutral it should be only NH refs to ref the S15 next year.
156 – Piet, Thanks mate.
Sharks can win this,Tahs are shyte, really…run at them boytjies, the holes will come…!
Thats it, am switching to afrikaans commentary, these guys are dinkum arseholes.
Wont understand much, but hey ! 😎
Sharks are showing guts, just a couple of daft players and no rhytm, wild passes, wrong options
Baxter is slipping the bind, should be penalised.
Lets just hope we stay composed,but we have forgotten how to win close games..
Gee die bal vir Kanko, en laat beast bietjie hardloop, die Tahs moet buig, bend down, varke 😆
Get Muller off, put Wilhelm Steenkamp on!
Wonder when the Sharks are going to give the young guys a chance..
Rubbish kick by Odwa there.
Boring kick-a-thon.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzz Pienaar, why the kick, am really starting to detest him.
170 – Winston, I have been saying that for a few weeks now. Mvovo so much better than Odwa and please we have to give Lambie a chance. He is pure class that younster. He has to get a chance to play.
173 – Treehugs, Need to bring on Kockott.
169 – GBS, Think you are right.
Even if they put them on the bench Puma then its a start..
Andy Goode is crap. How much are the Sharks paying him?
Sharks passing is hyper-kak
Try Tahs hooker
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Waratahs.
