@ Puma:
Now you Sharks must come out breathing fire….and Bob’s our uncle again bru!!!
Sharks Live Game Article will be up in about 10 minutes…..
180@ grootblousmile:
Yes it would be as that would allow a saffa team to hold a final here… 🙂
What you say we have a back ground of Red here tomorrow in support of the Reds tomorrow…………lol.
Cheers all, see you for the Guppies match. Gooo Sharks
This result did nothing to the Logs…. but if the Sharks win well they’ll be just behind the Saders on the Log
McCaw, you just dropped the Super 15 title there, mate.
Kom ons kyk of my profetiese woorde waar gaan word.
181@ Pietman:
Hope so Piet. Time my Sharks show the true potential of what they are capable of.
183 @ Puma:
Nee flokkit…. can’t do that for an Aussie side… hehehe
Maybe I should do an Orange background for this evening’s match… hahaha
If Chiefs are not stopped on their way and hold a final in NZ they will win it. So hoping the Reds can do the saffa teams a favour tomorrow and beat the Chiefs.
Reds played a lot better against the Saders so who knows they just may do it in Brisbane.
@ Puma:
Really hope you guys win with a BP….that would see you guys moving into the top 6 I think
Ai, Mortlock moet nie so deur die lug duik as hy druk op sy ouderdom nie, sal daardie rumatiek beentjies breek !
We should go over 200 000 comments tonight….
191 @ bos_otter:
It would, yes
@ grootblousmile:
The Crusaders were held try less for the first time at home for 12 years last week and then got beat this weekend.
GBS hope you don’t forget what I wrote the other day.
Jammer aan die Cheetahs, maar dit was die verrassing vir die naweek. 😉
188@ grootblousmile:
BUT if they beat the Chiefs they doing us a favour boet. Well especially your Bulls and Stormers. That would no doubt allow one of those teams to hold a final here in SA. I feel if any of our teams have to travel for a final to NZ just don’t see us winning it. On home soil we will.
Anyhow this helped my Sharks too a wee bit. Bulls have to beat Landers next week and that helps my Sharks too. Saying that Sharks have to beat the Force first. We lose tonight then we are definitely out of it. This is our last chance.
195 @ Wallabie.:
What did you write… I forgot already….
191@ bos_otter:
Hope so Bos, but we have to first concentrate on the win first. If we start thinking of the 4 try bonus point win then we put pressure on ourself.
199 @ Puma:
Would be good if we can have 3 Saffa sides in the top 6.
We must stack that Log with saffa sides well and proper
@ Puma:
Pressure is goood!!
G’day Walla!
Yes, what did you write?
Hope the little Joeys are all in good nick mate, long time no speak.
200@ grootblousmile:
Sharks should have been in the top 6 already gbs. Jeez we are a far, far better side than the rugby we have played this season. Also we lost so many by just a few, it could easy have been a win with some of those games. Pity.
Anyhow this is our last chance we need to up our game and play smart rugby today. Weather magnificent for rugby too. So hoping none of the usual handling errors that has been a huge factor with the Sharks this season.
201@ bos_otter:
Sometimes but not always.
203 @ Puma:
Some tough home derbies coming up….
Sharks at home against the Stormers and at home against the Bulls
Bulls at home against the Stormers (2 June)….
Okay I am off.
Cheers all.
206 @ Puma:
We always knew you were a bit “OFF”
Hahahaha
Watching a bit of the Twickers Sevens now
205@ grootblousmile:
Very tough games those boet. Could go either way, just hoping like crazy NO injuries to our Bok players in those teams. That is the biggest worry having test rugby inbetween this tourney.
207@ grootblousmile:
Bwaaahahahaha…..
Okay out of here now. My Scot visitors are still here.
Catch up later.
