Helloooooooooooo,
Ready for the game?
Go Sharks.
Good luck Sharks. Hope we can.
Going to the club to watch. So won’t blog during the game.
Catch up later.
OK, players about to run out!
Shuffle up!
The WHOLE TOP TIER at Twickers is EMPTY… seems like te Northern Hemisphere is not that interested in Super Rugby
Would be interesting to hear exactly how many spectators pitched up
Minute silence for Christchurch
Hell, we even have the National Anthems
Pietman, kom gesels saam broer…
Would be a biggie if the Sharks could pull this one off….let’s hope. 4man and the guys already in the stands at Twickers, I suppose.
9@ Pietman:
Yip, they are there
@ grootblousmile:
Sal so maak, nog besig hier by buitemuurs vir die vlg uur, dan is ek los, maar sal kort-kort inloer vir die telling.
I picked the Saders on Bru by 7… but of course I support the SA side.
@ grootblousmile:
Sharks by 1 point for me…
11@ Pietman:
Ek het nou my houtwerk gelos vir eers…. rugby is belangriker
Game ON!!
Good phase play early by the Sharks
Saders take it blind and wide left and make huge ground until tackled out… eventually
Willem Alberts is a MONSTER… what a player
Sonny Bill makes a huge break and offloads to Fruean… stopped 5m out, penalty Saders
Saders 3 / 0
Penalty Sharks, tackler not releasing.
Kickable…. J-L Potgieter going for posts
Damn, missed to the right
Sharks 1m short…. TRY?
TMO
Alberts you YSTER…. MUST be a try
Awarded!!
Heeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaa
Alberts, jou doring! Mirrag bulle…
Sharks 7 / 3 as J-L Potgieter converts
Penalty Saders, this one is kickable for Dan
Sharks 7 / 6
