Sharks (10) 16 / Blue Bulls (6) 12 (Final Score)

    Sorry Bulls. Well done Sharks your defensive effort won you that game.

  • 159

    Well…. my Bru said Sharks by 3… they won by 4.

  • 160

    Stefan you are a Star.

  • 161

    Was a hard match and the Bulls saw just too little ball…. the ball they got was often squandered as well.

    I’m off to the other thread… got to get ready there.

    @ grootblousmile:
    My bru said Sharks by 4 😀 😀 😀 I don’t often get it right 😀

  • 163

    156: agterlyn kon nie veel uitrig nie, omdat ons voorspelers nie op voorvoet kon kom nie. Dink ons het vir Gary en die speler van die jaar (Guthro) kwaai gemis.

    Maar, ons kan seker nie alles wen nie, geluk aan die Sharks met ‘n welverdiende oorwinnning.

    Alberts is ‘n moet vir die Bokke.

  • 164

    Alberts has got to be a bok, the guy is a rockstar.

    Bring it on Province/Cheetahs ??????????

  • 165

    Ja, Alberts was fantastic… so too Kanko, Sykes, Daniel and even Hargreaves

    @ Puma:
    157 – Sorry typos there. Laptop……. 🙄 fingers don’t type well on this damn thing.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY SHARKIES……………………………HEHEHE. I will be home for the final. YEBO Now 5 past 1pm in Brisbane. Was worth staying up to watch 😀

  • 167

    Your team showed a lot of commitment.

  • 169

    Hehehe

  • 170

    Catch you tomorrow. Or on Monday. If I have the time. Otherwise back in SA on the 29th.

  • 171

    Underdogs het amper gewen, maar soos ek gesê het, tuisspan is altyd die gunstelinge.

  • 172

    @ grootblousmile:
    blogging. LOL.

    Okay that is me out of here now. Catch up when I can.

    Good night everyone.

    At the end of it all, 3 games cost the Bulls this Currie Cup… The 1-point Cheetahs loss at Loftus, the 1-point Pumas loss at Mbombela and the 3-point loss against Wp at Newlands.

    If they had had a home semi, things could have been different.

    All spilt milk, nothing we can do about it, it’s done and dusted.

    Congrats Sharks, you deserved the win today!
