Fark, brother, wish I had…. traffic was a bitchhhhh!
My impression is that the Sharks look under prepared and the Bulls look like an inexperienced team.
@ superBul:
Maybe she hoped it would inspire him but it seems to have had the opposite effect.
Sharks could easil drop this game today….Bulls looking not to shabby
@ Loosehead:
Yip, also lots of errors on both sides but not unexpected for the first match of the competition. I think the Sharks can still improve but the Bulls don’t seem to have the goods to compete this year.
I suspect tomorrow’s game between Eng and Wales will be much the same. Eng underdogs, but they have some good players. Just need some gametime
zane is die tjarks se beste speler
Relieving penalty for the Bulls…. and a good touchfinder.
Very disjointed game…. by both sides!
Lemoenetyd…. and still no score.
Knocks 9 – 3 vir die Bulle, nie goed nie.
Bulls look disjointed, but some encouraging signs. Sharks are missing the decision-making from Terblanche in the backline.
At this stage and irrespective of the final score, considering that this is after all an away match for the them, the Sharks look like they will be the strongest saffer team this year. Of course we haven’t seen the other teams play yet, but it seems that conventional wisdom of the Sharks being the least disrupted this year, will play out true.
Sien Bladen is weer goed gekuier. Brosnihan wys vir hom die besit is 60/40 in Sharks se guns en dan sê hy: die score is gelyk want die besit is gelyk. Hik ek sê !
Hougie het tyd nodig om as skrummie weer te vestig, maar op hierdie stadium is hy ‘n baie beter vleuel en baie gevaarliker daar as op skrummie waar jy nie baie tyd het nie. Sal graag vir Jano wil sien met Hougie op vleuel. Jammer Sadie is af.
Hoop die tweede helfte bring meer opwinding.
2 Nd Half ON!
72: bulle mis vir meisiekind ook.
@ The_Young_Turk:The thing is that the Sharks will collapse at some stage.
Bulls hard on attack and they get an easy penalty!
Morne moet die Bulle vinniger wegstuur, en Zane moet uit die agterlyn bly, hy jaag net kuk aan daar, gedurig uit posisie en te doenig met sy hare……
Chili die Bulle se beste speler en Whitehead vir die Sharks beste agterspeler op die veld.
Anybody’s game still.
Since there is no scoring here , here is some Cricket scores

@ Loosehead:
Just my very early impression. The season still has a long long way to go so I am basing it only on the feelings in my water
Bulls 3 / 0 Sharks
Penalty Sharks, on the middle spot… Lambie slots it.
Bulls 3 / 3 Sharks
Suddenly the kickers have found their marks. Both of them
Bulls hard on attack… and again they get an easy penalty.
My bru pick is Sharks met 7 punte….het n k@k gevoel sederdien dat ek dalk verkeerd gekies het. Bulls kan die game maklik wen.
Bulls 6 / 3 Sharks
@ The_Young_Turk:
must be like sighting a new gun….3 cliks left….2 clicks down…1 click right…..PERFECT!!!
Bulls looking a lot better now… and look like they know what they WANT to do, just failing in the EXECUTION of it.
Scrum Sharks, on about the middle spot.
Sien rugby-talk is op twitter…geen idea hoe daai affere werk nie. Is dit die moeite werd?
