Has Lambie got the wrong studs on, I wonder?
Lambie should stick to advertising vaseline.
Chiefs with the definite upperhand now. Durban Bulle is smiling
Chiefs 10 / 3 Sharks
Good break through by Paul Jordaan….
JPP needs to come up with some magic. Jordaan is looking good but finishes poorly.
Jordaan makes a great break and damn well support to help him. Dammit man had there been support we just might have gone over.
Paul Jordaan might be a Bok Bolter as Heyneke announces the Bok squad later….
157 @ Puma:
meant – no damn well support.
Shaaarks, keep going boys! Get some points..
156 @ The_Young_Turk:
He needed support.
153 @ The_Young_Turk:Its always about you, isn’t it. Here are the poor Sharks in the battle of their lives, fighting for their country, streched to their limits. And what do you think about? Superbru. Aweful. You should be ashamed of yourself. At least 20 ‘Hail Mary’s’ please and a confession or two to boot. I can only guess you have a Russian bride in bed with you right now, and you’re trying to impress her with your awesome prowess. She needs to learn English first!
@ grootblousmile:
Bok squad announcement when?
158 @ grootblousmile:
He is a awesome talent. But from what I have read he is not on that list, unless HM puts him on later today.
@ Puma:
Yip. He’s an exciting prospect.
Mvovo looks clueless
163 @ Pietman:
Later TODAY!
Replace Lambie please!
Relieving Sharks penalty….
Chiefs all over the Sharks at present
Chiefs looking the more composed of the two sides. Sharkies a bit rattled. Hope they can turn it around in the second half but will their legs hold out?
Last week, Plum couldn’t praise Ludik enough for his lion heart. Really singled him out for always putting his body on the line. I have been watching him here, and boy, he really does. Kudos to him
168 @ Pietman:
Janee, hy lyk moer kak vandag
Another Sharks penalty… reversed, Chiefs shot at goal, against Doc Jannie
FFS! Poor reffing costs the Sharks there.
Chiefs 13 / 3 Sharks
@ grootblousmile:
Thx.
Bliksem Jannie, reg voor die ref…..maar dit was nie n strafskop nie, flippit, hy stamp dan net die man voor die bors. Moffies..
Sharks will have to seriously compose themselves here…. the travel fatigue showing
Michelak nog glad nie innie game nie, dis tyd…
Plum will have to bring on fresh legs soon in the second half. Take Bambie off for one.
Chiefs really throwing the ball around at will
