Hang in there Sharks.

Oh great…Something good came out of this weekend, however I had said Reds by 5!! Heheheh
My bru goes down in flames… 🙁
Congratulations Sharks.
259 – gbs, Still angers me the ref never saw the forward pass by Cooper when they got that try. Reds would not have got the 2 points. Bugger ups like that cost big time.
Ndungane saved the day…
Well done Puma and your Sharkies.
I had the Sharks by 2 points on Superbru, btw…… 🙂
Cheers people, bbq and chinchin salute time, have to leave early for Calvinia tomorrow, going to spend a few days on the farm.
Se you all again at the games next weekend, take care.
I had Sharks by 3… close enough!!
Bulle en Stormers gaan sukkel om hierdie Rooi span op hul tuisveld te klop.
Puma so glad you have got another win…congratulations.
