Sharks need to think of a better game plan at half time..
At least the Shark Tank looks full…..
144: naand Pietman, wat sê jy van die Bulle se wedstryd van vanoggend, het jy gekyk ?
Bennie de Boekwurm
Ja, vanoggend vinnig daar by pa op Swellendam gekyk, ek was op die pad Robertson toe, maar ek het voor die einde maar gery.
Bulle was hondkuk, nes WP.
Sharks hae only had 31% possession… that is not nearly enough!
I know you may not be interested but Cambridge just won the boat race!!
Just bringing some intenational sporting flavour to RT this afternoon!! 😆
Well it is the interval!! What is everybody drinking?
Shit weather in Cape Town.
Btw, what are the Durbanites gonna do with that moosa stadium next to KinGS Park……looks like another white elephant to me.
It is probably going to be empty most of the time, like the Independence Stadium im Mbatho, not to mention all those stadia in S-Korea built for the 2002 WC, never to be used again, except for music festivals.
Right Sharks i am back from work, let this 130kg unfit Bull help you push them back down under.
Go Shaaaaaaarkssssssssss
159 – Sharks need to wake quick in the 2nd half. Otherwise I see a whitewash of all saffa sides this weekend.
Sharks need to commit one more player to the breakdown at every ruck and drive over the ball. These Reds are way too loose around the fringes and are being allowed to get away with playing and scrapping from there. Suck them in and make them work for their possession.
Eishhhhh, would just 1 farking SA Team make it easy for us… sometime soon!
. . . and this easter toothache has woken me up at 1 am in the morning, just so I can watch the Sharks game.
155: probleem van al ons spanne die naweek, nie genoeg balbesit nie, en as ons dit kry … skop ons dit weg. Spanne soos Reds en Blues behou besit geduldig, een fase na die ander, dan lei dit tot strafskop of drie.
Kankowski’s finger is broken.
G’day OldQua, good game this.
Skop, flokken skop, flokken skop…
Besit Sharks… kry dit en hou dit…. donner man.
Al die simpel SA spanne het dieselfde siekte….
Is that a try?
Oi…. try from a forward pass… Will Chambers again.
Cooper cutting Sharks to pieces…
164; afskop het nou net my punt bewys, 2 maal skop RP, en die spel eindig met Reds wat warm aanval, en Sharks wat moet verdedig, verdedig, verdedig.
Try awarded……oh dear.
Thought that was a forward pass by Cooper???? Well try given.
Reds are all over us.
Replace Goode now… bring Kokkerot on at 9, move Ruan to 10…. kakker it cannot go.
Reds 21 / 9
Pietman @ 166 -g’day old mate. Another try to reds; looks like a good match, Hope you’re well?
169 – GBS, That what I thought it was a forward pass. The ref not up to it again. Thought this ref was better than most but missed that.
Pienaar misses…
Nee flok, as ek ‘n sagte fokkertjie was het ek my flokken polse afgekou!
GBS/bdb
Pointless kicking sickness setting into all SA teams, shitty gameplans obviously….
Eish, hier kom ‘n bonuspunt wen vir Reds, en hul gaan hierna nog Ellispark toe ook !
