172; Guthro en Danie en Spies het dieselle probleme vanoggend gehad.
Fark… Sharks need to score… I have them by 15 on Bru!
help him for chits sake
Killian lyk na ‘n speler van die toekoms … wanneer gaan die Sharks hom koop ? 😉
Lions can win this if the Sharks are not careful
eish common sharks scrag the rubbish reds !!!
Sharks finally get the ball… correct tactics now would be not to surrender possession!
Burns my bum that the Lions are playing well against us and kuk against the world, and we seem to be playing awefull again, whe we started great in this game.
… and Kokkerot kicks…. and worse kicks out directly….
Lions 5m out… lineout…
Let’s see who’s got the Brass balls!
Doppies knocks….
Time’s up…. tick-tock….
Jammer Doppies.
Shame man, i feel bad for being horrible when i see the Lions in the crowd getting excited then despondent when something goes wrong.
Well done Lions!
But next time try and nock some overseas teams out, instead of keeping the best for local derbys…
Game over, the Sharks hang on to win… by only 4
Sharks 32 / 28
Final Score
Mission accomplished… 5 Log Points
Lions all fired up, after the final whistle, trying to pick a last fight…..faaaaaark!
That was not pleasant to watch at the end, dont like the nerve wracking stuff.
Al weer die Duppies in die middel van die gevegte, eish.
Sharks baie gelukkig, maar hul leef nog vir die semi’s.
Leeus se wen is naby, hoop net nie dit is volgende week nie !
Well done Sharks. That was very close.
Also well done Lions could have gone either way tonight.
Well this game had my heart pumping in my throat at the end. Brave by the Lions, good win Shark mates. So there is still life in the tank.
Congrats Sharkies….pheeew, too close for comfort, this one!
I would start with Ruan at FH and Hargreaves next week against the Blues. A game we must win for the Bulls and Stormers. Blues beat all us on their tour here they going to knock one of the top 4 out.
Brumbies speel Tahs, so een van hulle is ook uit na volgende week.
Sharks hang in there in the Competition…. but it was far from convincing!
Shame that guy is really upset, really hope the Lions win thar next game
Lekker baklei die stormers en bulls oor eerste plek, en toe kom die Saders rustig deur en is nou eerste op die log.
