Funny lot there, there is about 70% of them ripping their team apart today, the other 305 fight their own bloggers for giving up so fast.
Funny they can not really decide where they stand on Jantjies.

must say that yellow did not look right , was nothing malicious in that tackle
@ sharky_forever:39 – Having a chuckle here about the “surfer dude” label..hehe. He does look like a surfer..haha.
Working in my office. So not watching the game, just keeping up with it here and on keo.
rudi no different to the way you guys at the bulls hyper up your own players 😉
and i only mentioned it as i was being told a few days ago how much better copper is to lambie
@ Puma:
lol boet
btw if we are to win later i reckon it has to be because our tight five dominate , otherwise we could have problems
47@ sharky_forever:
What do you say about the match-up between Silence of the Lambies and James O’Connor?
O’Connor, now THERE’s a great young talent…. pity he plays in the Force.
2nd Half on
@ grootblousmile:
agreed also a great talent , and its gonna be tough
this is why i reckon if the sharks are to win , the sharks tight 5 will have to dominate, if the sharks do dominate it will put huge pressure on O’Connor
Try Brumbies… very good continuity
bad kick again giteau
Reds 22 / 20 as Giteau misses the conversion
Will Genia’s been very quiet
@ sharky_forever:48 – Well we have a damn good tight five. So hoping like crazy. A win on the first game on tour is always good.
56@ Puma:
I recon the Sharks should win… and a bit comfortably as well
Penalty to the Reds and Surfer Dude takes it to posts from the Brumbies 10m line.
Over
Reds 25 / 20
… and yet another Reds penalty…
Reds 28 / 20
