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.

@ grootblousmile:
Kaliepies?? 🙂
Sharks better buck up after halftime, man!
29: Huggiesbottom ?
Come on Sharks.
@ bdb:
Ja, ek sien ook daai ding, seisoen vir kortgatte, so Luke Watson is in met n kans ha, ha, ha!!!
33@ Pietman:
Ja, ‘n Kaliepie is die kleinste lewende wese op aarde, hy bly in ‘n vlooi se balsak se plooi… hehehe
Sharks must pull up their sokkies methinks.
@ Pietman:
…’NIE seisoen vir kortgatte…’, bedoel ek. Flip vd Merwe sal goed doen daar, ook Pieter Louw en Jean Deysel, saam met Alberts, x-tra lynstaanopsie ook.
Rebels het nie ‘n slegte span nie, Sharks sal moet uithaal en wys.
Praat netnou, gou stof gaan afwas….GOOOOO SHAAARK!!!!!!
2nd Half on
Try Cipriani…. right through the whole bloody Sharks team
Dit is nie goed vir die Sharks nie, tweede keer dat Rebels in die middelveld deurbreek vir ‘n drie.
Rebels 25 / 13
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Lwazi Mvovo
Great running by Alberts
Goeie drie, net op die regte tyd.
Rebels 25 / 20
Hehe, English struggling against Bangladesh.
Arggghhhh, almost a Sharks try… hands in the ruck at the last moment, penalty Rebels
Rebels hard on attack on the Sharks line
Sharks get a relieving penalty
Bismark is ‘n yster, Smittie sal moet stut speel in die WB, maar ons kan nie Bissie uit die bok beginspan los nie.
Penalty Sharks… McLeod taps…. not back 10
Sharks get another penalty and the Rebels not back 10 again…. Vuna gets a yellow
Another Sharks penalty… Rebels infringing like mad to stop the drive, Sharks kick out
Arggghhhh, forward pass
Sharks blow a golden opportunity
Moes Smit vir pale gegaan het, lyk my ek raak nou net soos ou Vic, soek net drieë !
ek = hy
