Sharks (17) 27 / Lions (3) 3 (Final Score)
The Sharks hosted the MTN Lions at Kings Park, Durban at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Sharks scored their bonus point try after the final hooter via a quick tap by McLeod from a penalty and going over under the sticks, eventually winning by a 24-point margin against a Lions side who seem to be regressing and showing all the traits of last year.
Scorers:
Sharks: 1 Conversion Meyer Bosman, 1 Penalty Jacques-Louis Potgieter, 1 Try Louis Ludik, 1 Try Willem Alberts, 1 Try JP Pietersen
Lions: 1 Penalty Elton Jantjies

I’m unashamedly more Sharks oriented than Lions oriented (not supporting them though) and believe they will win this one, but I have to ask, what will be better for the Bulls.
Can’t see the Sharks losing this one though, in fact I picked them by 21 on Bru.
At least here we should see a South African win…. unless it’s a draw…. hehehe
O hel AP uit , wat nou die keer. Weer n vlieg ongeluk?
dankie tog gee skinstad nie.
Teams running out

Heck we have Stransky 🙄 He just as bad as Skinstadt. 🙄 Why SuperSport has these two as commentators is a mystery.

Sharks steal the first Lions lineout

10@ Puma:
We can’t win, can we…
WHY DO WE HAVE KAPLAN AGAIN? He was useless last week. Damn.
Penalty Lions and Jantjies goes for posts…

Lions 3 / 0
@ Puma:

how do you put pressure on them, to listen to our complaints?
Now you Sharkies will be MORE nervous…. hehehe
@ sharky_forever:15
@ grootblousmile:16 Nah, we can’t win with these two commentators….hehehehe.
Why don’t they use Dan Retief? Would like him to commentate for sure.
Penalty Sharks, kickable as well
Oh damn, hits the upright…. now Puma & Tjarkie are even more nervous…
NO MAN we have to get our kicks over. That is just not good enough by JLP. We have to have Lambie back after the bye.
JLP can not bloody kick
John Smit at loosehead…. don’t like it
Lions !
Maar die Sharks behoort te wen, Lions sal weer so 65 minute gevaarlik wees en dan weer die wedstryd verloor. Jammer vir hulle, maar dit is ongelukkig hul seisoen.
Penalty Sharks, Lions hands on the ground, clear as day. On the Sharks 10m line
Try Ludik
try ludickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
