Rebels (18) 32 / Sharks (13) 34 (Final Score)
The Melbourne Rebels hosted the Sharks at AAMI Park, Melbourne at 10:40 SA Time. This was the game thread for discussion of the match. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD and M-Net on TV in SA.
The Sharks won by the skin of their teeth, 34 / 32, but in the process managed to get their bonus point for tries scored.
The worrying thing for the Sharks will be that they conceded 4 tries in return, after not giving a single try away before this match.

I got the Sharks by 18.
Game On!!
Rebels started with ALL the ball in the 1st 3 minutes
Sharks 3 / 0 as Lambie slots a penalty
Sharks en Stormers sal dit moet doen vandag, die NZ spanne, veral Saders en Landers, lyk heelwat beter as die ander spanne.
TRY BISSIE. Pat converts.
GO SHARKS. 🙂
Earthquake off Japan caused tsunami that has swept across farmland in Japan, and is moving towards other countries including Russia.

@ Scrumdown:
Looks bad, as you know Japan is at the end of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, starting in NZ…. over 10,000 active volcanoes in that Pacific region!
14@ bdb:
Ja, McLeod speel goed
Lambie slots another penalty…. and seems to have sorted out his problems with skew trajectories
Sharks 13 / 3
Lambtjops se skoppe word al beter, MS sal moet opskud.
15@ Pietman:
Yep, maybe all this activity is building up to 2012 as Mayans predicted?
Maybe the Lions will win a game before the end of the world, or maybe the Lions winning a game will signal the start of the end of the world.
Sharks maak goed skoon en behou balbesit, nou as my ou spannetjie dit gaan doen, kan dit mos net goed gaan.
scrumdown @ 11
something to do with the moon being almost at its closest point to earth (will be next saturday) .. they did fear earthquakes, tsunamis etc because of that!!
Try Vuna for the Rebels
Sharks 13 / 10
21@ Ashley:

Next big one in California?
scrumdown @ 19
naaah … dont think so
21@ Ashley:
Assie maan so vol is kom die Kalieppies uit en blaf vir jou ballas… pasop!
Hehehe
Die nuwe reëls is nie meer ten gunste van klein flanke soos Brussow, Stegmann en Shrek nie, jy soek groter beweegliker flanke soos MaCaw, Thomson, Louw en Hinkerbottom (of wat sy naam ook al is).
Bulle sal daaraan moet dink om van Dewald ‘n fetcher te maak, met Juandre Kruger op ander flank, en Danie op agsteman, as Spies nie sy agterkant in rat kry gou nie.
Jy moet skoonmaak by die afbreekpunt, anders gaan jy bal verloor of strafskoppe afstaan,
Penalty Rebels and Cipriani slots it.
13 / 13
27@ bdb:
Ja, “Hugging-His-Bottom”
Try Julien Huxley… oi vei
