Power scrum by the Azzurri… see what I mean…
Boks against Samoa going to be moerse physical. I can see the war zone in my mind now already. Shudder to think of the injuries we might pick up. Might be best to pick our 2nd team….
85 @ grootblousmile:
Well there is a saying to live life to how you want and to the fullest. You doing just that. Not sure how you can drink that condensed milk, the thought of it makes me ill…..hahahaha. Smoking is bad for you boet. My old man died of emphysema from smoking and he died at the age of 59. So that was young. You should try and cut it out. Take up running that will make you stop, cant smoke and run don’t work…..lol.
Try Tuifua, Samoa
Okay so we will be playing Samoa next week. Please hope no injuries. That is the biggest worry playing them.
92 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip it is the injuries I am worried about playing them. We always come away after playing them with injuries.
@ Puma: Pooms, They will be announcing the new coach for the Sharks soon, All I know is? it will be a South African.
93 @ Puma:
I’m quite fit, I play league squash every week…. we go balls to the wall for an hour and I hardly sweat….
Samoa 32 / 3 Italy
89 @ grootblousmile:
Agree.
14 Minutes to go, Italy copping a hiding here, hey!
Italy very close
Italy penalty 5m out…. Yellow for Samoa, Leiua
Italy want to scrum…
Only 10 min left
Penalty try… as the Samoa scrum disintegrates
Scotland played better against Samoa. Think we in for a big game next week.
Samoa 32 / 10 Italy
Nice one Italy. A little too late here.
At least going from the score so far this game puts the game between Scotland and Samoa into perspective
Try Va’aulu, Samoa
97 @ Sharks_forever:
I read it was gonna be a South African. You think Venter will want the U20’s Coach? They working well together right now. Just a thought I have no idea at all. Just hope we keep playling like we done last year whoever takes over. What you think of Reece Edwards and Bashford? Thought they should have been gone too. They just might be who knows.
Samoa 39 / 10 Italy
Samoa beating Italy almost with the same score as we done last week. Still a bit of time too to go.
Less than 5 minutes to go
111 @ Puma:
Arghh flok, Sharkies can appoint anybody, they’re done anyway!
97 @ Sharks_forever:
The papers have mentioned John Mitchell could be a possibility. Your thoughts? I doubt he and Venter will work together. Two hot heads don’t work.
1 Minute to go in the match
115 @ grootblousmile:
For this year we done. You watch us klap all next year again, remember us last year?…. 😛 We were playing some magnificent rugby and that was under Plum. Hope we keep that style next year whoever takes over. Venter is good just not sure how good. Have to wait and see. Also wait and see who is head coach.
118 @ Puma:
Brendan Venter will coach the Sharks in the Currie Cup
