Now Fukc all from the venue.
Vark I hate Multichoice.
Loss of picture, thanks MNET!
60@ Just For Kicks:
Doubt that the storm in Kempton is affecting your signal!
58@ Loosehead:Is he not there?
What bore fest!
And people call the Bulls a skop and jaag team!
Amazing how many forward passes, go unpenalised, where this morning the Cheetahs were pinged endlessly! Why question is why are some refs, pedantic, whereas other ref’s seem to focus more on offsides, or rucks. And poephol Brown, just decided to focus on the scrums in the last quarter.
Guppies defence holding out
Another crap lineout from the Sharks.
Penalty in front for the Lions.
James for poles.
Over
10/6 Sharks
58@ Just For Kicks: If he was, the Sharks would be winning their lineouts.
65@ Cheetah4eva:
I must say, there were some VERY dodgy calls there.
I thought the Brumbies were just as guilty of the early engagement as the ‘Tahs, but the ref just NEVER blew them.
Great kick Lambie – Michalak has looked impressive too
Penalty advantage Sharks but they gain a line out 5m from the Lions line, and there goes the signal again.
Quick ball Sharks, try?
Try or foot out?
Looks good to me.
No try, foot out.
Try given, and another brilliant touch line kick. Hope GBS is watching him this week!!!

Jobs for the boys?
Hellooooooooo from Fortress Loftus!
Was good that I left earlier than usual.. got to Loftus much quicker.
In the Vodacom Cup, the Griquas are ahead 24 / 10 over the Blue Bulls, 25 minutes to play.
OK, time for the buffet… see you just now
75@ Loosehead:Never a foot out, if anything, just a couple of centimetres!
…..maybe thats how the TMO saw it!
Wales 16-3 Italy after 64 mins

Maybe we must have like cricket, let the attacking team get the benefit of doubt
Lions disruptions due to injury are really showing IMO.
They need to tighten up if they want to get anything from this game.

but to me the great tackles of life are getting more and more scarce, simply because the Laws are groomed for the attacker. 6 Nations recognize it a bit more.
Vodacom Cup: Griquas 31 / 10 Blue Bulls
84@ superBul:
Attacking teams have been penalised to death so for in Super Rugby.
SANZAR are going to kill the game off if they continue like this.
2nd half on
Kiwi speak: “Yeah, no, look”
2nd half on and the signal goes again.
