TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ODWA!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Odd-one
That’s it!!!!
Get the ball to the speedsters in space….
Reds 21 / 16
Try Odwa.. Now if only that ref saw the forward pass for the Reds try………damn it is frustrating.
At last Ruan gets a kick over again. Needs to get all of the kicks over, will cost us.
Go Sharks.
Another flippin’ useless up-and-under!
Possession turned over….
Deysel should have been on from the start…
179: as jy skop, moet jy slim skop en jou spelers moet gelyk opvolg en druk op spelers sit, en die belangrikste: nie duikslae mis nie. Shadow was vanoggend elke keer daar, maar omtrent elke duikslag gemis.
Dink die Bulle is nou so bietjie deurmekaar oor watter wedstrydplan hul moet volg. As ek hulle was, bly by die hardlooprugby, druk die driee, dan kom bonuspunte en wen vanself.
Ag demmit JP Pietersen, het jy kak in jou hande?
JPP knocks on.
Kyk hoe mooi hardloop die manne met die bal ! Hou so aan sharkies.
Too many handling errors.
189 – gbs, could have been a try there.
COME ON SHARKS!
Please sub JP Pietersen with Mvovo….
MAUL THE RUBBISH!
What a waste that kick was.
AGGGGGGGGGGG JP drops it. No try.
195 – GBS, Agree JPP not playing well. Bring on Mvovo
187 -gbs, Agree.
Maul them now, Sharks!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Botes!!
Goeie drie.
TRY BOTES………..YES GO SHARKS.
This is the longest that Goode and the DuP’s have been on the field together without conceeding a yellow card.
205 – Loosehead……SSSHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Don’t speak too soon now. 😀
Sharks hit the lead 23 / 21
Super take by Lambie.
Loosie
Lambie is goed.
Sharks can finish this now with another 7 pointer.
Oupa must run straight and not sideways.
