Deysel can be a real pain the neck sometimes……
Some batting there by Chennai they ended on 205 – 5 , pity can’t see Bangalore getting close
Munster 7 Leinster 0, try by Howlett converted by O Gara – 13 mins!
Bit of magic by JPP. Sharks are back in it! Thank Jeebus Beast is on!
Great JPP try converted. That how a wing must believe in himself, went for the corner and finished well
Waratahs 21-20
@ smallies72:

Penalty to Sharks
Lambie hits the posts
Sharks 20 – 21
Much better scrum by Sharks now!. Deysel is having a bad game, not bok material on this performance.
Another Sharks penalty
Sharks 23-21
10 min to go Sharks must keep the ball
Try by TAHS,
TMO
No TRY knock on by Blue
Ah wow just been out for a bit, what a good comeback by the Sharks!
Scrum to Sharks on their own 5 meter line , Penalty Sharks, Lambie kicks out
Seems nail biting in Durban. Update on Magners League 31 min : Munster 7 Leinster 3
Sharks broke out well, next scrum to them just outside the Tahs 22
Keegan is a fool, a second try blown by him, holding on
Great clean break by Keegan but he refuse to pass to a other player in a better position
Penalty to Sharks under the posts
Sharks 26-21
Is going for posts the wise decision here given the losing bonus point that the Tahs can earn?
Seconds left, Sharks control the ball
Game over
SHARKS WIN
Geluk Sharks. JPP lyk weer pure bok.
Mission accomplish, congrats SHARKS
Sharks hold on for the win. Neither team look like championship material, but I think the Sharks deserved this one.
Well done Sharks
