Sharks (35) 63 / Leopards (6) 6 (Final Score)
The Sharks hosted the Platinum Leopards at ABSA Stadium, Durban at 19:10 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Sharks ran in 9 converted tries, totally demolishing the Leopards who only managed to convert 2 penalties for all their trouble.
It was like men against boys with the Sharks already bagging their bonus point for tries before 20 minutes had lapsed.
The Sharks have secured their home-semi now, only question which remains is whether WP can catch and surpass them for top spot on the Log.
Scores:
Sharks: 6 Conversions Andre Pretorius, 2 Tries Keegan Daniel, 2 Tries Jannie du Plessis, 1 Try Louis Ludik, 2 Tries Odwa Ndungane, 1 Try Lwazi Mvovo, 1 Try Eugene van Staden, 3 Conversions Patrick Lambie
Leopards: 2 Penalties Clayton Durand

@ Blue Bird:
Hello Blue Bird, yes last season was one the best for a while, it went on for ages up there. At least you can ski, much more than I can say.
@ Bullscot:22 – Top the mountains there could be snow. I have skiied there before, but like BB says a bit rocky and quite windy, but nice if you live there and only have to drive up to ski.
@ grootblousmile:
Excellent, you will see The Mighty Blue Bulls soundly thrash Western Province!!! 😆
Say ‘Hi’ to the son and heir from Bluebird…
Sharks 28 / 3
hi, Blue bird, been fighting with the license department about arear license fees on a motorcycle I sold 3 years ago. Had to sort out some stuff with the Financial Services Board this week.
And now am relaxing in front of the TV
@ Blue Bird:24 – BB, No monkeys in the house today 😀 But seen a few about when driving out the estate.
For now have to put that trip on hold. I go to Australia next Saturday for 3 weeks.
Clayton Durand going for posts… over
Sharks 28 / 6
@ Puma:
Puma, I am excellent thank you. Sadly Autunm is now upon us, getting dull and dark in the evenings now, you can remember that from your time over here I am sure.
I was wondering if you were going to any of the EYOT games when you were over here?
@ Puma:
Sorry, slow typing, I missed your comment there, Aus will be much nicer at this time of the year, lucky you!
I have not blogged for ages, I must keep in the top 30, so will post some drivel to keep my hit rate up!!
I can’t see the game !!
@ Blue Bird:43 – BB, I would have done if I was still coming over. For now not sure about that trip. Was supposed to go start of November. I only get back from Oz on the 28th. So going to put that trip to the UK on hold for now.
@ biltongbek:
As bad as selling a car and getting someone elses parking fine!! Grrrrrrr
Where are you based? (You and your TV)
@ Blue Bird:44 – BB, No problem. Good to hear your well. Are you still training on your bike? For your race? Must be tough training on the bike in the cold.
Hot here today. 32 full sun too. Have my air con on full. 😀
@ Bullscot:
You must learn to ski, it is the best way to get down a hill….
My favourite mode of transport!! More exciting than a horse or a Porche and I am partial to both of those!
I live in Alberton, just south of JHB. It has been hot weather here I can tell you that
Sharks mean business in this game, running at full pace…. very good rugby.
Penalty Sharks, right in front, 5m out
@ Blue Bird:44 – Oz weather similar to ours right now. Actually right now think we a wee bit hotter. See Brisbane was 24 today. Where I am headed next week on business. Then will have a few days holiday there then off to Perth and have a few days holiday there too. Only going to Perth this time as I never really seen Perth much except for the airport. Been to Brisbane before though.
Scrum from this penalty going down 3 times already
@ Puma:
The cycle training is going quite well, you are right this weekend is going to be shocking,torrential rain tomorrow and Sunday, I have to go for a run tomorrow and on Sunday have to do at least two hours on the bike.
I will be as fit as a butchers dog!!
(and somewhat weatherbeaten)!!
GBS, hoe gaan dit ou maat. Siem jy uit na die Bulls game more?
54@ biltongbek:
Gaan goed dankie, was net moer besig.
Sien uit na die rugby, ja…. maar ek dink WP gaan hom vat
Eishhhhhhhhhhh Ndungane absolutely butchers a pass to Mvovo with the line begging
Nee wat, ek weet ek gee julle bulle baie k@k, maar die WP weet nog nie hoe om op Loftus te wen nie, mental block.
57@ biltongbek:
Hoop jy is reg… het egter gehoor Gary Botha is van die bench af onttrek, fiksheidstoets gefaal… Bandise Maku in sy plek.
Try Odd-one…
Wel ou Chili het nie te sleg gevaar so ver nie.
