    You got your head screwed on right sharky and also puma. We back all the saffa teams to do well. I remember last year I was so pissed off at the cheatahs when they knocked the sharks out of the semis!

  • 308

    Don’t understand those people who are so provincial, they’ll back a foreign team against a saffa team!

  • 309

    Okay back. Just watched the the interviews.

    Well done again my Sharkies. Superb.

    Good luck to Stormers/Bulls for the semi.

  • 310

    Groot vraag is nou: wat doen die Bulle volgende week: rus hul sleutelspelers, stuur die VC span, stuur die vrouespan, stuur Affies, of wat ?

    Of stuur jy die volsterkte span om momentum te behou ?

  • 311

    303 – Sharky, Only the 2nd time I went against Sharks on bru. Now they win. Should have gone as usual with my heart. Never mind proud of our boys.

    Our loose trio was brilliant. Our srums were superb. Ruan and Kockott out played Grant and Dewalt. Lambie brilliant again at FB. All had a great game. Just pity Stefan never passed once we could have had another try. Also not taking the 3 points at posts. Never mind we won.

    Now looking forward to Bulls/Stormers game next week. Tell you the Stormers bodies will be very painful some huge hits tonight. Also Bulls had a tough game yesterday against the Saders.

    puma mate we had some players playing for bok places , and i think they made a huge statement

  • 313

    how was the impact burden made when he came on??

  • 314

    Bulls can now go to Cape Town and play their second stringers. If the second stringers win the bulls will have an enormous psycholgical advantage if they should meet the Stormers in the final or in the semi’s. If the second stringers loose the same would apply as everyone will know and argue it was only the second stringers.

    @ McLook

    Verskoon tog McLook, die aand het my in die rede geval.

    Wat ek bedoel het met “vanselfsprekend”, is dat omtrent alles wat jy noem gebeur elke wedstyd inelkgeval.

    Hulle het al hulle buite agterspelers in ‘n massa aanval omgebring na 2 of 3 fases aan een kant van die veld ‘n keer of wat en die Bulle vroeg van hulle voete af probeer hardloop, as gevolg daarvan het hulle ons geblitz in die eerste helfte, maar in die tweede kon hulle net een drie vroeg aanteken en toe wat het toe gebeur?…Toe hardloop hulle effens uit stoom uit, en hulle kon nie eens behoorlik keer toe Hougaard sy driee wou druk nie.

    Dis nou jammer Gerhard vd Heever kort nog net so bietjie ervaring, ek voel hy moes net-net kort geval het (of net regs teen sy momentum) vd doellyn en gestrek het i.p.v. heeltemal oor hol. (Dieselfde ding het teen die Hurricanes gebeur nadat hy briljant gehardloop het–en in die Crusaders wedstryd sou dit dalk vroeg vir ons die bonuspunt drie verseker het.)

    Maar i.t.v. die eintlike impak van ons flanke, Hulle effektiwiteit moet mos nou gemeet word aan hoe hulle hulself nuttig maak onder die omstandighede, en onder die omstandighede was hulle die beste spelers op die veld (Hougaard het wel die wendrie gedruk en was uitstekend om die bal op te volg en hulle buite agterspelers onder druk te plaas, maar manne soos Matfield en Stegmann het die grootse deel van die vuil werk gehad.). As Spies homself nie behoorlik aangewend het nie, is dit maar sy saak, maar hy het ‘n paar mooi plettervatte uitgevoer.

    Die besit was maar so 50/50, ons baldraers het seker verwag om meer lopies te kry, ‘n ou soos Spies het bietjie minder as gewoonlik die geleenthede gehad, en ons het ook bietjie balbesit weg geskop met Kirchner daar. Hulle het seker dit maar verwag (geen groot geheim regtig nie) en vlak gestaan op verdediging om ons om in ons gesigte te boer en die bal te smoor, McCaw was uitstekend in die sin.

    Ek kry die gevoel ons manne was nie opgewasse genoeg om hul vlak verdedigingslyn uit te buit en heelwat meer gebruik te maak van rolskoppies en kort chippies. Hulle het ontsettend meer hardloop meters as ons aangeteken en ons het ons energie spandeer aan laterale “scramble defence” om te keer dat dit bars met al die teen aanvalle wat ons per gawe aan hulle gegee het. En rakend die punt, wil ek se ons het beter bal in hand gehou as hulle wanneer ons wou (gelyke besit, maar meer geskop en meer in ons helfte gehou met die bal deur fases gehou), terwyl ons gewag het om onsself in die posisie te kry om veld op te skop.

    Een vd swak punte wat hulle raak gesien het was seker die dat ons buitespelers binne toe gevlous word en steelkant ooplos vir die ekstra ondersteunende aanvaller.

    Ek dink dit is uiters amateuragtig van ‘n span soos die Bulle, (alhoewel dit ongelukkig afkom op die individu, in meeste gevalle Kirchner, en ‘n paar keer Van den Heever).

    Can you believe it! This was a game on my thoughts that was long over due! I would have thought that the stormers would have won, but I guess I was wrong. Its a bit late for the sharks though. at least they are trying to pull up their game…..as my dad would say, Fark!!!!!
    I Think the bulls are showing a fantastic game this year, although a bit of a shock when they lost to the reds.
    The Reds them selves are doing a fantastic job this year! who would have thought that they could do so well.
    Go you good thing!!!!!

    Bonzai!!!
