Goooooooooo Sharks!
Just For Kicks will be your Captain for this one, fasten your seat belts… During this match I will be on my way to the Press Box at Loftus!
kia kaha Blues, time to exact some revenge on these remoras
I have to prepare to leave for Loftus… will leave about 10 minutes into the Sharks match… still have about 75km to travel.
Important games for both sides, but Blues, although travelling should be the more settled side after the nightmare week at the Sharks this week
Blues out on the field
PLayers coming out
Lwazi Mvovo runs out for his 50th Super Rugby Game… how time flies!
Sharks also out on the field
have to sneak out of work again to the pub to watch this, cmon the Blues.
Has John Smit done the right thing, hanging out his dirty laundry for all and sundry to see the skid marks. Only time will tell.
Kick off
Game ON!
Good driving maul by the Sharks. Penalty advantage
Penalty given – in from side
Lambie steps up
Badddddd kick to posts by Lambie… waaaayyy right
Missed. Eish, Lambie just isn’t his old self this year, sorry, Puma
15 @ Just For Kicks:
Careful, Oompie Puma will wish his bad knees and bad back on you…. hehehe
Thank heavens Morne Steyn is having a good season, or we’d be in serious Schtum!!!! Time for the Cat to be called up, me thinks – Will be a good contest between the F/h’s in the next match
Sharks penalty… I will watch this and then depart for Loftus.
Keep up the good work, Kickers… and thanks
Peyper reffing? blues have no chance at all
Blues making all the running atm, but Sharks come away with the penalty
@ grootblousmile: Drive safely, and see you on the other side
OK, on my bicycle… tjorts… enjoy!
Sharks go for the corner. Strange decision so early on – no confidence in the kicking???
Sharks maul over the line, TMO
Can’t see this one being given though, bodies everywhere
Can’t give that, surely?
Not given, ball short
Scrum Sharks, 5m out
Keegan shuffled out. Lineout Blues
Sharks with another drive, now it goes wide, but poor passing, and gives away possession
