Sharks penalty, easy one
Sharks got to score here. They need to be more patient. They are getting frantic. Try line fever.
Great play by the Sharks. Keep it up now guys.

By 3 for me.
Crusaders 17 / 15 Sharks
Crusaders play through the ball at the rucks and the sharks not. That in essence is the difference between the two teams.
18 Minutes to go in the match
The Pumas outscored Griquas seven tries to one to record a 47-31 victory in their Vodacom Cup match in Kimberley on Friday.
The Pumas trailed 28-7 after 36 minutes. They are now the only unbeaten side in their group, with two away wins over the Bulls and Griquas.
Things not happening for Paul Jordaan tonight, hey
@ McLook:
True! They go straight through the rucks, breaking up the Sharks
Genade!
And to think Blydendaal is their 3rd choice fly-half…..
The Lions have cancelled their planned tour to the USA due to uncertainty over the quality of the opposition and travel limitations.
Sharks should use decoy runners with the flat defence to create space for backline players when want to take the ball wide.
Kicked dead by Andy Ellis… scrum all the way back
Saffer teams have awful records against the Saders. Would have been safer to have gone for the Saders on bru…
