6 minutes left. Guppies must score now
Sharks with fancy line-out stuff……and fcuked it up…./sigh
Try? tmo and handbags
Bitter min bal wat die Sharks back-line tref
sharkskin handbags
Touchie saw the grounding, so will be given
Close one… very close
Not grounded in my book, but can’t judge on that. Try will be given
Looks short / held up…. the whole bag
Must be a try according to the question.
Bal was nie oor die lyn nie ?
Close…looks a bit short, but can go either way.
Wrong call, that wasn’t the question
No try. Scrum Lions.
That can not be a try
Or Sharks.
Phweeeew….
He had no reason not to award the try. Wrong call
TMO made a good decision but is a bit confused. He has overuled the touchie.
Elke TMO verwysing moet bloot wees: try or no try, niks anders nie.
3 minutes, and then I won’t have to listen to Bob Skinstad for the rest of the evening – things can only get better!!!!
3 Minutes…. Sharks fark their attack up….
It’s overs cadovers, I recon
Waylon Murray may still make an appearance
Really disappointed in the Sharks performance tonight
Puma is going to go ballistic on this site later!!
1 Minute to go…. Sharks scrum
@ The_Young_Turk:
lol..true…poor fella
Die vraag was of daar rede was om nie ‘n drie te gee nie, DUS hy moet sekerheid he dat dit wel ‘n drie is om te sê: no reason …
Hy kon dus nie sien dat dit wel ‘n drie was nie. TMO is reg.
Last chance saloon now for the Sharks. They must scores a try
Only managed to watch from the 2nd half. Just can not believe the stupidity of our captain for the last two penalities why not go for poles? Why when we on the back foot go for the lineout and try? When we bloody need to first and foremost get some points to get closer to a play off? Keegan one of the very best 8s this season and there is no disputing that at all, but he is NO captain ever. The arrogance expecting us to score a try is unbelievable really. Sharks should have taken every point on offer. Why too are we playing such a stupid game plan? Should have kept it tight, tight and gone for a WIN first before of thinking of a 5 points. So arrogant. That is honest. Plum has to think of another captain. Keegan top class as a 8 very few to beat him this season but as a captain he is so often found wanting. Sad but true.
Lions were always going to be tough being a sa derby and wanting to prove they should never be regalated also one of their last games at Ellis Park. Was always going to be very tough. We should have played test type of rugby against them. Instead we play into their hands by by trying to run it everywhere. Was really worried about this today. Anyhow if we can’t beat the Lions we certainly don’t deserve to go any further.
