Sharks knock… close to a try by them though..
WP scrum… 20 seconds to go
The Lamb is slaughtered
Sharks can only hope from a draw from here, and extra time.
Time is up…. all WP need to do is kick it out if they win their scrum ball
What a finish
Sharks steal the ball… phweew
@ bean1:
And so says the wife!!!!
Penalty Sharks… tap and go by Deysel
Sharks still have it…. 10m out
WP WINNNNNNNNNN
Knock….
Guts and glory both sides!
Final Score: DHL Western Province 25 / 18 The Sharks
What a match! Ooh eh eh!
WP!!!!! After 11 years, would have thought?
But well done deon in Deon, Eben, Scarra, true Boks you are!
Wow… that was great rugby!
Unbefknlievable!!!
Prooooooviiince!!!
Legend Youngsters!!!
NOU suip hierdie vrou langs my, selfoon innie hand, bel nou die Kaap plat!!!!
Wow, what a finish. WP never gave up, Sharks, unfortunately just didn’t rock up today. Stronger in the scrum, better all round kicking, and ganerally better back line play, but it was the Fourie, Scarra and Etzebeth who won this game today, with the help of JdJ who had a solid game too. Etzebeth my MOTM
Goodness… I can see some serious boozing tonight!
Sharks fans would have to learn to re-kork Champagne corks AGAIN…. hehehe
Ek het hom reg geroep die week, jong WP span gaan verras en hulle het. Baie slegte choke vir die Sharks op hul tuisveld waar hul oorweldigende gunstelinge was.
Is the CC really a major trophy?
Just joking , congrats , one of SA,s powerhouse unions cant stay dry for so long. Glad that is broken(the drought)never wish tat to my team. Sorry Puma, Lambywas outplayed bythe new Kings kingpin.
Deon Fourie is a MUST for the Boks, he destroyed the Sharks’ loosie for the Boks great foresight by AC, moving this oke to number 6 and straight into Boks team!!!
Congrats goes to both sides though!
Deserved match to re-kindle the Currie Cup glory of years gone by
Smaak my ons het gewen…
Bye.
@ superBul: Disagree, apart from the 2 drops, Lambie was streets ahead
Well, well, well… can you believe it?
Sharks het die game op 2 punte verloor:
– lynstane was ‘n groot gemors
– moes nie vir doc Jannie afgehaal het nie, daarna was die Sharks span in trurat.
En ag shame, Schalk en JDV beseer en het nog steeds nie ‘n CB gewen nie. Los dit maar vir die jongmanne om te doen, dink net, Eben was nog in die laerskool toe die WP laas die beker gewen het, toe besluit hy #$^^!@## dit, ons jong ouens sal dit moet doen, hehe
382 @ Pietman:agreed but he has to get past the HM block first!!!
Sharks played in 2 big finals this year, stumbling at both last hurdles
Well done WP, a classic!!!!!
Don’t know how you did it, but you did!!!!
You boys were absolutely great.
