    Hierdie twee spanne moet gelykop speel, sodat die Bulle en Vrystaat hul kan inhaal in die 2de rondte.

    Oeps bdb ek het getik (maar is nie getik) voor ek jou comment gelees het, so ek het moet ‘worry’ oor die game ook en hoop vir gelykop. So at this stage in the game I guess its GO WP!

    @ Bullscot:
    One does have to question PDV’s substitution policies, not only this match. I agree unless Smith was hurt you gotta keep him on the field. He didn’t look hurt or tired to me.

    Was a great great game, we are just dissapointed and are not takeing any credit away from the kiwis, we just need a bit of time to get our equilibrium back so we can be more gracious.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of passion Treehugger what would supporting your team be like without experiencing the emotional Highs and Lows, just a pity at the moment having to have too many ‘lows’

    Sharks behou balbesit, en skop nie besit weg nie, dit is hoekom hul wen. Is die bok afrigters te dom om die basiese aspek van rugby raak te sien: balbesit behou.

    @ JimT:
    Yes there has been some odd subs along the way, remember during the Lions series. I think you should only really sub someone who is injured or playing really poorly and also need to look at the match situation you can maybe bring on a host of substitutes if your are trailing and trying it as alast throw of the dice or make subs when you are winning by far against small teams. BUT when on a slender lead against a team like the All Blacks don’t substitute for nothing, a win today would have been a big boost! But having not watched the game I was just wondering/concerned Smith was injured but cheers for confirming he looked ok.

    Well Sharks have this all but wrapped up. Why the heck did I worry abou this game……???

    Sharks are cruising…………….:D We should head the CC after this game.

    Go my Sharkies. You making me proud…. 😀

  • 107

    Who kicked the conversion?

  • 108

    With not Boks allowed back into the CC. Think maybe just maybe Sharks should finish on top. 😀

    Congratulations Puma! At least something to be chuffed about for you tonight after the Boks loss, oh well at least we also won last night and I also had the 6-0 football result earlier to lighten the mood. 🙂

    Have no doubt Sharks will be top of the CC after this game. 😀

    Go my Sharkies………………….:D 😀 😀

    Graham Henry reckons we are not fit enough

  • 112

    @ Bullscot:109 – Bullsoct. Buddy I LOVE my Sharks but really Boks are the ultimate. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed we never won. Would have traded a Sharks win for a Boks win tonight. Now that says something. Felt Boks should have won. The replacements were crucuial and and cost us HUGE. Felt that Hougaard and Juan should have been kept on a few other players too. Useless our coaches brother, all three of em. Don’t blame the players rather the coaches. Replacing top class players with probably CC player at best is not really the answer. We need to sort that out and pronto. We should have won tonight, but the replacements were not up to it.

    Thats an interesting one.

    I Will post that report soon

  • 115

    @ superBul:111 – We were Super, but our replacements were not up to standard. There lay the problem. WE were fit enough. GH has got it wrong and hope he has once again gets is wrong come wc time. Also hope they have the techology with the cameras we had at FNB at their world cup. Other wise it will be a let down buddy. That was awesome to see the scrum in that angle. Refs can never ever get it wrong if the supporters can see it on the big screen!!!!!!!!!! NZ need the WEBCAM camera. Enough said. Well done and congrats All Blacks. Your team deserved the win. Our coaches need to know when to replace players. Sometime you don’t. That is where we went wront today.

    Anyhow still watching the Sharks. Go my Sharkies. We will top the log after tonight.

    @ Puma:
    Yeah its really disapointing man. A mate texted me the score when we were 22-17 up with 4 min to go and I texted back hope the All Blacks don’t score a try now, next I knew they missed the conversion so I thought a draw would feel so hollow and then they get the winning try….
    But if we can look on the bright side it is encouraging to see some improvement with the changes in the team, so now just to get a few more of the stalwarts back, hopefully Bismarck at his best and Brussouw in time with Burger maybe going to nr 8. And of course not forgetting du Preez, that would improve us even more and give us a better bench!

  • 117

    @ superBul:
    Superbul, I would agree with that. Certainly true for some of the forwards.

  • 118

    @ Bullscot:113 – Don’t agree. Replacements cost us. Why replace a player when he is doing the business? Why the heck did we replace Juan and Hougaard? None of those players neede to be replaced. There my friend we lost it. RE-placements cost us. Our useless 3 coaches need to see when to replace or not. Just leave what is working.

    Anyhow going to watch the rest of the Sharks/WP game. Sharks are well ahead so far.

    Jim i still struggle to get my words back.

    It was gutsy thats for sure
    Habana is still badly of form
    We subbed the wrong players
    and sadly we did not create enough

    our backline has become individuals and we score from mistakes or some little bit of brilliance by a individual. DM style backs.

  • 120

    @ Bullscot:116 – Bullscot, We have many players missing. So this is a awesome improvement. Also without our very best. Think there are 6 missing it gives us a massive boost buddy. If that is what we can do without 6 of our best, then I have plenty of good feeling for the world cup. NO need to change any player but rather bring back the injured that never played tonight.

    Okay with that I am out. Cheer everyone. Catch up tomorrow.
