Ek gaan wyn vat, my seniewaais gannit nie hou nie.
Sharks tackling on Sonny Bill is good…
Man that is poor by the Sharks
Enjoy your morning folks.
I will look in later to see who won…..
Of course your resident Pommie has her fingers crossed for the Sharks and hope our Shark supporters here have the chance to celebrate again this evening.
Puma, just take a bit more water with it this time!! 😉
Chiefs upping their game a bit now, looking very good – unfortunately
@ Blue Bird:Cheers BB
Good to see this thread moving so swiftly…. all the regulars back and contributing!
We have such a great web site here!
#1 the danger man!
Pity Mvovo, could have been an intercept.
124 @ Blue Bird:
Will do… hehe.
Great defence by the Sharks
Fast game…. time flying!
Sharks speel die game reg, hoop net die bene hou 80 minute…
Sharks spending a lot of time on SBW, shutting him down at every move. Unfortunately it is creating gaps in the backline when the ball goes wide.
I smell a record comment thread here….
Ferocious battle between the two packs and the backs are not stepping back either. Sharks cab take this if they can manage to hold this intensity. Kiwi teams crack eventually in the face of remorseless Saffer “in your face” committment. Go JPP!
Come on Sharks, play deep in thier half….
Try time
Lambie knocks on a high ball…. not his first mistake either
Try Tim Nanai-Williams
wtf Sharks?
Lambie kakked himself there
Try Chiefs.
Chiefs 7 / 3 Sharks
FFS! Chiefs score a very good try. Sharks have to hit back soon. Komaan manne!
Just awesome when they get it right
Bambie still a bit out of sorts…
First Quarter has really flown….
Chiefs now with a host of possession…
Lambie knocks again… eishhhh
Lambie having a crap game.
Lambie having a Joe Pieterson of a match. Really needs to up his game. Simple errors
Chiefs maul it up hard…
@ The_Young_Turk:
Shyte handling man, greasy ball, but still, Sharks must get that right. Too many handling errors costing us big time.
Penalty Chiefs, inside the Sharks 22… shot at goal
