Sharks slight fumble on the ground, chasing up… Landers scrum deep in their half
Kankowski on too it seems… or will come on
7 Minutes to go Tamatie-man injured
Given the fire instructions on how to feed itself. Bloody things just not listening. Have to keep doing it myself.
Would love to see a Lions equivalent made up from Southern hemisphere players taking on the North….jeez….would be a roll-over
5 Minutes to go
Penalty Advantage… and penalty Landers quick take
Knock… Sharks grab it… Bissie kicks a torrie… out on halfway
Kanko’s been out so long, he’s forgotten how to play the game
Highlander knocked the game away there
Another penalty Landers… on the Sharks 10m line… kick for touch
Landers on the 22… come on I need a try for Bru
a penalty kick from the highlanders would suite Ash,Slasher,Makmoer and myself nicely with our bru picks
Landers with yet another penalty
Bissie steals a vital ball… hacked out by Ludik
Lovely stuff Guppies
Time is up….
Great defence by the Guppies. Held the Landers out long enough to seal the game
Landers have not stopped trying… but Sharks have closed it down well
Game over
Good win by the Guppies, not pretty, but Lambie does it
Well done Pat Lambie!
Ziltch for Landers, must be what we want, great win Sharks.
Congrats.
Final Score: Sharks 28 / 16 Highlanders
5 From 5 for me on Bru.. but yet another margin farked
Fark, I go big and they win by little… I go little and they win big… story of my Bru
Bissy and Jannie have really missed the Beast, they have certainly played a lot better with him in the front row. It looked solid for the first time this season. Long may it continue
Well done to my Sharks.
Not a great game but a win is a win and will take it.
235@ Just For Kicks:
For sure the Beast made a huge difference. Also would have liked to have seen Deysel come on a lot sooner.
235 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, did look better.
I thought Bissie had a strong game!
Sharks will have to value possession more.
They had 37% possession, of which they kicked away about half of it too
Also Sharks kept the Landers out tonight with no bonus points.
236 @ Puma:
Congrats… a win is a win
