Old Ndungane is a reliable player, not the fastest but dependable.
@ grootblousmile: oh no….nothing wrong wid da balls mate….it’s more down to the willingness to shoot and kill 🙂
Penalty Sharks… on the hooter, right in front.

Sharks 24 / 13
ai sommer al weer bevlok piet dieckie en goldilocks val op julle swaarde DADELIK
Nice one Lambie. 3 points just before the break.
Go Sharks. 😀
120@ fender:
Bulls under the kosh for sure!
124: hulle is mos van die wp, sal nie gebeur nie. Straulli en Markgraaff is weggejaag vir al hul manewales, maar ander manne kan maar sê en maak wat hul wil (alles behalwe rugby afrig) en daar gebeur niks nie. Maak maar vrede daarmee.
@ fender:120 – Hello Fender, Yip Boks almost make the best come back ever. Only to lose it in the last 10sec. I suppose that how it goes. Was a great 2nd half that though.
Now just hope my Sharks can win this one. Will make up for the disappointment with the Boks. Well not really but a little.
Aplon should have started ahead of Habs tonight. Think we could have won it had Aplon started.
die bulle sit in die kakaka hulle het vir vic en kie nodig maar kan nie bekostig om hulle te speel nie taai ene
@ Puma:
You right, dont think he would have gifted away 21 points 😡 👿 😈
0/19: BB 15 S 19
0/21 BB 51 S 31
Have had time to think… if Snorrie does’nt get the shaft, his assistants included…. then at least Habana and Spies must get the shaft….
Hi Puma, I’m not sure that in a game where you can play 22 players it is possible to rightfully claim that the contribution or lack of one by one man either cost you or won you the match. Having said that, Habs needs to play CC rugby to regain his form.
2nd half on
@ fender:133 – Missed the tackles that lead to the first 3 Aussie tries. He keeps playing out of position. Crazy stuff not sure why he is doing that.
Aplon was way, way better when he came on. Should have started. Anyhow would have been a awesome come back had we won. Also think this was one game that John should never ever have been taken off. Pity he was having a great game.
Kuun is totally nowhere in this game….
Okay just want to forget about the Bok game. Very disappointed about that loss.
Back to the Sharks game. Feels a lot watching this, well for now it does…hehe.
Kom jong bulle, werk aan daardie bonuspunte, die ou bulle kan nie alles doen nie.
@ Treehugger:130 – Yip Treehugs, after that it was catch up for all the players. We got it back but should never have been so behind. Those 21 points cost us.
Anyhow let us watch our Sharkies at least they winning for now that is.
@gbs habs en spies uit asook fransie vic danie john mossie en gutro op lang verlof tot en met die s15 maak juan kappie met eoty toer en bloed youngsters en jaag die afrigters weg bring vir heineke proudfoot en slapchips in en begin maar van daar af.dis regtig al uitweg wat ek sien
Kaplan, hoekom nie vryskop vir Bulle omdat McLeod nie vinnig ingooi nie. Netnou vir Snyman so gestraf ?
@ grootblousmile:
132 – Your Bull buddies going to get you for that one 😆
Penalty Bulls…. 50m on the angle….
JLP going for posts
Sharks 24 / 16
Puma, ok let’s agree on John Smit then. He looked and played with a lot of energy today and was unlucky to be jerked with 15 to go. But then again, maybe he was told beforehand that he was only going to play for 65 minutes and as a result could hold the pedal to the metal for that period.
Weet nie wie speel nou die slegste rugby nie: Habana of Kuun ?
Penalty Bulls… kickable again
There was another insident here … but I did not see it ? Hehehehe ?
Hehehe… Hargreaves is a banggat
Eishhhhhhhhhh JLP shanks the ball terribly…. absolute twaddle
