Does he realise it’s a 1 day game?? 😆
@ sharky_forever:
Back to the game, I think the Chiefs will start at 300 km/ph, Sharks must hit them with big tackles from the word go, knock them back and put the their speedsters under pressure and on the hindfeet.
Sharks MUST absorb the initial onslaught and Freddie has to get them down in the Chiefs’ 25 early…..and make those shots at goal count any which way he can.
GOOOO SHAAAARKS!!!! Moer hulle boys!
@ Pietman:
Yeah it is what i see happening too, We must stay focused and weaken their resolve.
Be ready to play 90 min
We need to dominate the colussions and stay patient on attack
27 @ Pietman:
I was part of that.
Morning All!

4 @ sharky_forever:
Bwaaaahaaaaaa. Yip we so far have been like superheros to make this final.
@ ashley:
Groot game vandag innie Paarl ook, interskole.
Sharks speel vandag tussen die koeistalle daar anderkant, ek so mos hulle kon net sowel op Darling se veld gespeel het, of sommer op die Duckett’s se melkplaas, sou meer toeskouers getrek het as Hamilton.
GO SHARKIES
GO
@ Puma:
Ja jou Argentynse kietsie, jy darem wakker en reg vir die game?
Julle moet flippin vingertrek pappie….this could be one of the greatest days in Natal/Sharks rugby history, so go for it bruvva!
Mallett thinks the rain will suit the Sharks with our great tight five.
Legs will be tired though, so we operate of the mind today…lol. Really hope we can win this. If not still very proud of my boys for making the final.
Morming guys. Enjoying the banter Piet and Sharky.
BTW Sharky, how much money does it take to ‘dominate the colussions’? Hehe!!
Go Sharks!!!
48 @ Pietman:
Hope we can Piet. The travel will takes it toll for sure, but like I have said the mind is a powerful thing. We need to be mentally tough today. That might pull us through the tiredness. Hoping.
pietman @ 46
flok pieta, is daar mense wat jy nie ken nie? lol
Ja, the rain will suit the Shayks on condition that the legs are still strong….
