    Mamma Mia that was an awesome game. Congrats to the mighty ocean dwellers, full credit. You donnered the stormpies! Fortunately we just got that one point. May just prove crucial for home semi!

    WELL DONE MY SHARKIES…… Now if we had taken those 3 penalties not bonus point for the Weepees.

  • 273

    For sure Piet,Sharks played like Champ’s tonight,very tough to beat at home,they suprised me tonight how well they played,our forwards killed them and their backs could not do anything getting the ball on the back foot as I predicted.. Nobody cares what people say on other sites,John Smit is the greatest captain of all time.. Finished and klaar.

    I think the Bulls will do everyone a favour if they send a B team to Cape Town and let the Stormers win.

  • 276

    Congrats Sharky mates, cheers til next time, well played.
    G’nite.

  • 277

    Sharks forwards were outstanding. Our scrums were brilliant. Ruan and Kockott out played Grant and Dewalt.

    Lambie was superb again. Even a massive tackle Burger.

  • 278

    @pietman – The dispute has never been about Smit at hooker, but at tighthead, Be fair mate.

    puma a bit more depth in the backline and this sharks team will be huge huge huge

  • 282

    Sharks had all the right selections tonight. Smit at hooker, ruan at FH, kockett at scrummie, the best loose trio, Mvovo and lambie. But the whole team played with tremendous passion and determination. Good value for the loyal supporters that turned up to watch their team even tho they were just playing for pride!

  • 283

    I am so happy that the mighty Cheetahs did not have to play against this Sharks team.
    Pity that we couldn’t play against this Stormers team though.

    Well done Sharks!

  • 293

    biddie thanks boet

    SA rugby lyk baie gesond

  • 294

    @284 – I love rugby mate and one needs to keep perspective. I wanted stormers to win for their semi ambitions. Sharks had nothing to gain. But one has to be honest. What’s the use of getting angry and rude. Sharks fully deserved it. Not even debatable! Just a pity they couldn’t have selected like this from the beginning of the season! We could have had 3 saffa teams in the semis!

  • 295

    292,doesnt matter,whether you win by 1 point than 40 points a win is a win..

  • 296

    hiyas loosehead ur right boet

    but i moved 13 places up and he didnt

    turk i agree best to stay civil

    and the stormers are still 2nd mate

  • 299

    This win just made my day,just need the cricket to go well now..

  • 300

    Still possible for stormers to have home semi. Just need to beat the bulls, just by one point will be enough thanks to our superior points difference. If we can’t beat the bulls at home we don’t deserve to be in the finals!
