Landers lose the ball in the process of trying to score…
Now a defensive Sharks scrum, 5m from their own line
Sharks relieving penalty, against Woodcock!
Sharks lucky to get away from that one without conceding
Score to the Finfokkers!!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy Mvovo!
Bloody well-worked!
Sharks 15 / 7 Highlanders
That chip-kick over the defensive line by Lambie was good… and clever… and a good move away from the previously one-dimentional play the Sharks have displayed in previous rounds.
Landers penalty in front, bit out of the 22…
Slade misses the absolute sitter
Jeeeez, the Landers have been out of sorts this season… nothing but nothing going their way this season
Lemoenetyd
I think we pissed on the Sharks supporters batteries a bit too much 2 days ago, when we did not want to accept their feeble excuses that the number of Sharks injuries is a good enough excuse for their kak play this season.
Not a single Sharks supporter here with us today, urging their team on…. sensitive souls they are….
2nd Half ON!
Try Aaron Smith… so easy
Sharks 15 / 14 Highlanders
Lions captain, JC Janse van Rensburg makes his debut for the Sharks, as he comes on as a blood sub
Colin Slade slots a penalty and the Landers take the lead.
Highlanders 17 / 15 Sharks
It’s all Landers in the 2nd Half, so far
Piet Lindeque on as replacement for Frans Steyn…. maybe a good thing, his hands are good, he is not fat, he does not only run crash-ball…
Fransie Steyn looks injured too….
Penalty against Pieter-Steph du Toit, for a head-lock on Hoeata
Highlanders 20 / 15 Sharks
Hello GBS, just checked the scores and it looks like the Sharks did well first half but now taking strain, where are all the others especially our Sharks bloggers?
Try Colin Slade…
Sharks fading badly now….. seriously badly!
Highlanders 25 / 15 Sharks
53 @ Bullscot:
Hello Bully,
I think our Sharks bloggers are dikbek at us…. for some obscure reason, to be honest
56 @ grootblousmile:
Ahh thats no nice, have you been stirring? Come on Sharkies!
57 @ Bullscot:
No, not been stirring… just not blaming all the Sharks woes on injuries….
Sharks close now… far over 20 phases… and they spill the bloody ball
Right got to get going GBS taking wee man to play football for his school – at least the sun is shining and there’s no wind so will be lekker at the side of the field, have a good one there, cheers vir eers.
