AAAAGH NEE
Try and conversion, has it brought the guppies back into the game?
@ Loosehead:
Thanks loosehead….
Sharks with different intents this half…
Alberts almost through again.
Good tackle by Bondesio… try saving
flok daai was vorentoe komaaaaaan leeeue werk werk werk
Ag nee flok het die ref sy flippen kontak lense verloor of het Plumtree sy bribe verdubbel, hierdie maak my siek. Weer n game wat deur foute bepaal word
About the try… it was touch and go whether Alberts knocked or whether it was from the fingertips of Josh Strauss
Lambies been very quiet so far
Sharks coming back into the game strong in the second half.

Penalty Lions… Sharks judged to have sealed the ball off
Elton having an absolute cracker. Showing great class and composure. Would love to see Lambie also at flyhalf.
