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

TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHARKS.
We gonna have to get plenty of those cause we simply don’t have a kicker.
Sharks 5 / 3
Goeie drie vir die Sharks. Probleme het begin toe Kamana NZ rugby wou speel in sy eie kwartgebied, maar vergeet het hy speel saam ‘n klomp SA spelers wat nie die ‘skills’ het vir die vinnige rugby nie.
That was not a good chase Odd one
Almost another try as Odd-one kicks through but he just does’nt have the toe anymore to be at the tryline first
We simply don’t have a kicker so kicking for corners is fine.
AB moet game wen vir sy span, kort 32 van 19, slaan 3 sesse na mekaar … alles wanneer dit nie saak maak nie.
What is JLP staring at, the poles, he must look at the heavens rather and pray.
Man JLP costing us with not getting the kicks. Man I swear with my kak knees I could kick better. This is so DAMN frustrating. Give the kicks to Bosman.
8 points down the rain due to not having a kicker. Not good enough. We had better try getting another try cause that is the only way we will get points.
Hard game.
Kamana injured, looks like he busted a knee
AB 54 van 40, sluit 5 sesse in … wanneer dit …. nie. Sy span wen.
Looooong break with Kamana eventually being stretchered off on the golf cart
Try Willem Alberts
albertssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Meyer Bosman taking the conversion, over
Sharks 12 / 3
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ALBERTS. YESSSSSSSSSSS
We gonna have to keep getting em tries cause no way are we getting our kicks over.
atlast a kick over
Minnie, Mickey gaan vir jou hard _____ oor daardie dom fout, jy sien daar is twee spelers wat vir jou wag, jy is alleen, en daar staan jy 7 punte af. Dink jy het jou laaste game gespeel.
Dink die Leeutjies wat weg gebreek het beskuit hulself nou, die twee huursoldate of Judasse soos hulle hul noem , druk toe albei teen hul ou span.
@ grootblousmile:46 – Bosman should have been taking the kicks all along. JLP just not getting em over for a few weeks now.
Meyer Bosman off injured
Oupa Stefan will take over the kicking now
@ grootblousmile:53 – Jeez wish we had Bosman take the kicks that JLP missed. Now we don’t even have Bosman there for the kicks. But think Stefan will kick better than JLP.
George Earle dazed and confused… being attended to
Ernie Els fighting hard to get the wooden spoon, hell he tries so hard for the Masters but in his good years there was always a Wood(s) in front of him
tr4y jppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Try JP Pietersen… good stuff
Jacques-Louis taking the conversion from touch and misses again.
Sharks 17 / 3
Lemoenetyd
JPP, what a try. Nee wat, sal maar met die ou hout moet gaan probeer die WB wen, Habana en JPP as vleuels.
Ai, nog ‘n pakslae seisoen vir die Lions wat voorlê, hulle het dieselfde probleem as wat die Stormers vir jare gehad het, ‘light five’ wat nie kan bybly nie.
