Jannie dup – asset or liability?
Penalty against Bissie… eish
Chiefs supporting well, swarming all over us, good play, Sharks outnumbered at the mo..
Chiefs know how to push the Sharks buttons, and the Du’p boys are reacting to it perfectly
Cruden misses the long attempt
@ The_Young_Turk:
Janee flok, ek stik in my wyn elke keer as hulle op Lambie skop…
Sharks will have to regroup, not out if it yet,BUT…
Weather really crappy….
Vanoggend vir Sharkie gese daai kaalkop voorryman moet dopgehou word, gevaarlike man..
Bring back John Smit.
Bresler knocks in the lineout… Chiefs scrum just before halftime….
Kameeltjies kakking big time here….
Lemoenetyd
…. and a lot of work to do by the Sharks….
Lambie slips another tackle on the half time whistle. Hope someone has got the shower running hot for him
10 point deficit in a Final is huge to overcome….
This super rugby ad is the worst I have ever seen
As the half time whistle goes, Durban Bulle and the Chiefs are looking good. Sharkies and Turky are facing an uphill struggle. Will they be able to pull off a remarkable victory? Tune in later for the second half of this epic.
Phweeeew….
How kak has Lambie been!
Chiefs also effectively stemming Marcell Coetzee, Alberts, Kankowski, Daniel… McWolkie under a lot of pressure and Freddy Frog out of sorts too
naand gbs
is jy ook al op?
Alberts is wasted at lock.
I now need a Brown Cow… or a Milo…. or a koffiekapitaal and buttermilk rusks….
197 @ ashley:
Naand Asbak…. bietjie koud hier, so ek het tussen die pisvelle gebly solank ek kon….
Daar kak die 200 merk ook al…
Wet pitch has taken the last reserves of energy out of the Sharks. And now that the legs are going the minds are following suit.
Could see a blow-out in second half. C’mon Sharks – prove me wrong! Go guys!
Maybe HM wasn’t that far off the mark with his Springbok team vs England. Some players being seriously exposed this week and in last weeks game….

193 @ grootblousmile:
Will be just too hard for my Sharks to come back from that. Just a pity Jordaan never had support. That looked the only time we could have scored.
Weather making for plenty handling errors too. Sharks players will get more tired as the game goes. We need to bring on the bench soon. Though doubt they will make a huge difference. Once you let a team like the Chiefs away with a 10 point lead just too difficult to bring them back.
2 nd Half on!
@ Loosehead:
True, Alberts should be at flank.
Come on Guppies!
Moer hulle!
En dis Macleod hy gooi die bal daar na Wiespeelkak en Wiespeelkak smyt dit daar na Hoerdaan…
To make a better viewing final in SuperRugby there should always be a week rest after the semi. We have to remember too that the Chiefs played their semi last Friday that gave them a extra day. Sharks played last Saturday and then had a monster travel to do. Also going that way we lose about 10 hours day time. So really a week rest after a semi is must before the final in the future, if we really want to see a great final.
