Currie Cup: The Sharks vs Blue Bulls – Game Thread

Published 16 July 2011 | By grootblousmile

Sharks (22) 35 / Blue Bulls (9) 16 (Final Score)

The Sharks hosted the Vodacom Blue Bulls at Kings Park, Durban at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, M-Net & SH2 on TV in SA.

The Sharks were full value for their money, scoring a bonus point win over a Blue Bulls side who had a lot of possession but who was also very blunt on attack.

Scorers:

Sharks: 3 Conversions & 1 Try & 3 Penalties Frederic Michalak, 1 Try Louis Ludik, 1 Try Marcell Coetzee, 1 Try Keegan Daniel

Blue Bulls: 3 Penalties & 1 Conversion Francois Brummer, 1 Try Derick Kuün

Penalty Bulls… the ref is fast asleep

Dustbin Jinka is very slow behind the Bulls pack and his passes stink.

Brummer misses the penalty
24

grootblousmile on 16 July 2011 at 5:41 pm

Far too many infringements on the ground missed by the re… from both sides
25

grootblousmile on 16 July 2011 at 5:42 pm

Drop attempt by Brummer… missed left
26

grootblousmile on 16 July 2011 at 5:43 pm

Penalty Sharks… lucky, Bulls were pressing hard after a kick charged
27

grootblousmile on 16 July 2011 at 5:44 pm

Game certainly is hard… but far too many needless mistakes
