So, Daniel captain now?
Fransie rediscovers his ball control….
Suddenly the Sharks scrum retreating
Shyte line cover by Ndugane.
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Keegan Daniel… all started by Kyle Cooper!
Kak pass by Mcload to Lambie.Resulting in poor line kick.
Chiefs 34 / 26 Sharks
What dummy from the Sharks prop! Make him captain Plum!!!
Great dummy by Sharks No1.
Great pop pass.Sharks showing some urgency now.
16 Minutes of the game left…. the deficit is 8
Kyle Cooper is just a bundle of focussed energy… he’s made great strides this season, and if you ask me, he is the 2nd best hooker in SA at present, after Adriaan Strauss
Go Sharks!!!
Sharks running but struggling to create font foot ball.
133 @ McLook:
“Font” foot ball… is that Arial Bold ball?
Hehehehe
Aikona!
Chiefs winning the battle at the breakdowns.
Reinach on. With immediate effect.
My Bru prediction still within decent bounds….
GBS@134 ask Anscombe :).
Sharks still one-dimentional in this game… and their defence is still terrible
Sharks penalty… good kick to touch
Sharks no11 look like Hano Mans who played for Sharks in 2003/4.
Another great pop-up pass by sharks.
Sharks hard on attack…. and they knock 5m out
Space out wide sharks not seeing it.
142 @ McLook:
Piet Lindeque, ex Grey College boy, played for Tuks in the Varsity Cup this year at No 13
Poor refereeing. Hands in ruck by chiefs.
5 Minutes left in the match….
Chiefs scrum pemnalty, early engage by the Sharks… why the full-arm penalty though?
Another match where referee mistakes at crucial moments decided the outcome of the match.
