Pisvelle!!! Waas jy, op Voortrekkerhoogte?
Chiefs hard on attack.. and luckily they knock with the line begging
Sharks are just playing shit.
210 @ Puma:like
211 @ Pietman:
Nee, Brakkenjanpan laagte… hehehe
@ Puma:
We know and agree, BigCat. That’s why we felt the Stompies were in a more favourable position.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Ditto.
@ Puma:
‘Zactly.
Sharks making a lot of stupid mistakes now
214 @ bean1:
Jy LIKE alles, hey Beanie!
Sharks really struggling now, looks like fatigue has finally reared its ugly head. Come on Sharks
Try Thompson…
TMO
Where is the Tjarkies now? Silence…… Badoom Tis daar kak hulle
Awarded to Kane Thompson
@ The_Young_Turk:
Stormers yes, specially in this weather.
Try….nou kuk ons big time, eishhhh!
@ grootblousmile:I’m with Ash on this one – a like button would be a good thing
Sharks look totally out of it. Durban Bulle is celebrating and Turky’s hopes of glory are fading into the distance of 17 points.
Chiefs 20 / 3 Sharks
Game over.
Stormers would have put on a better show.
Phweeeew, these Chiefs really have the Sharks number today
High tackle on Kanko, big one too…in front of touch judge.
Let’s face it, it was a tall order for the Sharks to travel so much in the last 3 weeks….
Shocking Shocking reffing here. Their tighthead should have been off with a red card for that neck tackle on Kanko. Bloody animals these island boys. Same as they done to us during our last game in our pool in the world cup.
Sharks were competitive for the first 20 mins but then the travel fatigue set in and against an awesome side like the Chiefs, it is impossible.
So n lelike bliksem my moet tekkel dan dood ek van skrik, newwermaaind van hoog tekkel!
Sharkies on attack…. come on boykies!
Touch ref and the useless Walsh just letting that go. Just not on that.
Sharks have to score here. Froggy and JPP have to do something.
@ Puma:you can guarantee if that was our high tackle we would have been penalised
No sting in the Sharks attack…
Chiefs steal the Sharks ground ball…
Sharks penalty….
