Puma, can your Sharks do it against the Samurai?
Now don’t hold much hope for my Sharks. Samurai are a good team and we have not been playing that well at all.
451 @ grootblousmile:
No don’t think so. We just too slow. Also some never pass the ball, why I have no idea as that is crazy in 7s rugby.
Sharks score first
Sharks 5 / 0 Samurai… in this game
@ Puma:
Be more positive old chap 😆 we in the semi’s of the cup, so we have a chance
456 @ Sharks_forever:
🙂 I know, somehow they have surprised me in all the games coming out with a win…. 🙂 Though we really slow but who knows we just may again!
Samurai with a try of their own
Samurai 7 / 5 Sharks…
Now Tjarkie & Puma are sweating… hehehe
Samurai score again after the hooter
Samurai 12 / 5 Sharks
Lemoenetyd
@ grootblousmile:
😆
460 @ grootblousmile:
Actually we should have had Mvovo and Jordaan in this team. Keegan as well. If Kanko was here him too.
461 @ grootblousmile:
462 @ Sharks_forever:
See what I tell you both. These players are good from Sharks just that they are not great and especially play 7s.
We needed faster players here. At least we made the Cup semi final, I am happy with that.
The biggest thing why the Sharks are struggling is none of their players accept Sbura have or play 7’s also the coaching?? Check who the coaches are of the Samurais, they all ex 7 specialists. man the tactics are so different
Sharks look a bit out on their feet now…. but it’s still close
Senatla buries the Sharks… the guy is flippin fast
Samurai 17 / 5 Sharks
And they just shove us off our ball and away for a try. Eish! we just not good at securing our ball on the deck.
Gudult really finishes the Sharks off
Samurai 22 / 5 Sharks
Sharks again deserve to lose, the coaching leaves a lot to be desired if one looks at the backline how deep they stand compared to the other teams, well done to the samurai’s
466 @ Sharks_forever:
They are different and we need to get a good 7s team going. We have the players just need to select them. Also get a good 7s coach. We look clueless out there, but we somehow managed to make the semi final.
Skills also for those selected for Sharks very poor
473 @ Sharks_forever:
Who would your 7s team be from the Sharks and which coach?
@ Puma:
Boet we are very lucky to have made it this far
Final Score: Samurai 22 / 5 Sharks
So, it’s Cheetahs vs Samurai in the Final
475 @ Sharks_forever:
Yip agree.
Anyhow this has been fun but for next year if they do it again we should take it more serious and get a better coach and select the right players.
478 @ grootblousmile:
Two best teams in the final. Should be a cracker.
