Hell, I wish we could get some decent commentators in this country
Alberts comes close, WP defence excellent
Mvovo bundled out, 1m out… phweeew
268 @ Pietman:Must be a good batch of homebrew!!!
Yoooooooh! Close! WP defending like crazy, well done!
HM moet MS nie eers saam laat toer nie, laat die man heeltemal uitrus. Lambie en Jantjes moet gaan toer.
The Greek has to scramble it out… attacking Sharks lineout on WP 22.
Etzebeth staels Sharks lineout ball
Etzebeth should win every award he has been nominated for, in my book. He deserves it.
@ Just For Kicks:
40liters left, from Ceres red grape juice, potent stuff!
Sharks, ball in hand and attacking…
Penalty Sharks, right in front, near the 22… not rolling away by Malherbe
Skinstad, you prat, it’s the rules. How could Peyper blow it any other way?
Sharks 18 / 16 WP
24 Minutes to play
And Sharks take the lead….at last. Wrong decision by ref.
Bobby Tongstadt, daardie strafskop was teen Duanne, nie Malherbe nie, maak jou wp ogies oop.
@ Pietman:What yeast are you using?
Nice grubber by groom
Jebb Sinclair, the boxer, on as a sub
@ Just For Kicks:
Brewers yeast, from Birkenhead brewery in Stanford….
Lambie not kicking out… that to my mind was a mistake
Sharks speel nie te slim nie, Lambie moet bal uitskop op halflyn.
WP hard on attack… then give a penalty away.
Relieving Sharks penalty
Groom reminds me of Divan.
JDJ is gevaarlik vandag.
The Cat is stifling the attacking flair of the backs. that last move (apart from it ending in a penalty) was much better without him in the line
WP steal yet another Sharks lineout… and back on attack, 10m out now
7m out
Can WP finish this off?
2m
WP scrum, 5m out, centre field
