Sharks 53 / Lions 9 (Final score)
The Sharks hosted the MTN Golden Lions at Kings Park, Durban at 19:10 SA Time.
This was the live match discussion Article.
The sharks totally outclassed a lethargic and error ridden Lions side to book a home semi final against the Free state Cheetahs next week, where they will certainly carry all of the momentum.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

Here they all come now
What’s the score, guys?
Over. and now Mitchell brings on his big guns. Maku; Jantjies; Minnie; and Butch.
Seems like he (JM) doesn’t believe in not playing for the win.
He does talk about momentum a lot.
Great kick from a slight slice!
@ The_Young_Turk:
21-9 Sharks.
They need a 4th try and to win the game for a home semi.
21 – 9 Sharks, with Sharks camping
Butch just asked to introduce himself to Jiffy bag
Webster is quite a shirty little shit isn’t he.
Do the ref’s really have a clue at scrum time?
Jiffy bag does love that whistle – big lungs for such a small bloke – tryyyyyyy!!!!
My ouma sou daardie drie gedruk het, Kanko is stadiger as my ouma, en my ouma is BAIE stadig.
@ The_Young_Turk:Thats 4 tries Shark and home semi if they can keep the lions out
Sharks have the bonus point for 4 tries.
Lions hard on attack now.
Got to be a yellow coming for the Sharks soon.
Too many penalties in the red zone!
Sharks having to defend now
Slight knock scrum Sharks
Lions knock it on the Sharks line.
Not their night I’m afraid.
Elton Jantjies does have a great pair of hands
Vrystaat kan maar begin tassie pak vir Durbs, hoop net Goosen is reg, anders gaan hul sukkel.
Intercept try JP
Intercept try. JPP.
Game over!
Thanks guys
35 – 9
Hoop vir die Leeus se part hulle het al voor die wedstryd verloor, want as hul so gaan speel teen die WP gaan hul nie die finaal sien nie.
Lions just not hungry enough tonight
35 – 9 Sharks.
Semi finals all decided now.
Sharks to host the Cheetahs.
Lions to host WP.
114@ ben_die_bul:
How can you say that.
They destroyed the WP last week.
Personally I think the Lions were never up for this game.
Sharks now playing some entertaining rugby now, has resulted in a penalty
Penalty Sharks. 38 – 9 with 10 left.
Not quite the momentum JM would like for the Lions going in to the play offs.
@ The_Young_Turk:38 – 9 now, have you looked between the cushions?
