Blues on attack now
…but ends in a knock, scrum Sharks on their own 22
Good scrum (solid) ends in a penalty for the Sharks. Lambie gets it up to halfway line
Sharks moving the ball around nicely
So many good phases and good build up, only to throw it away with a poor pass. Scrum Blues.
Poor pass from the base of the Blues scrum, but an excellent pick-up, ands in a penalty for the Blues
Ball hacked ahead by Sharks, Blues just get back to dot it down
@ nga puhi:
Ha ha
Reminds me of the Dirty Peyper chat
😀
After the Lions test it feels like watching the poor second cousin playing at the moment.
Although the match here is even, it doesn’t have remotely the same edge and tenseness that I felt with the test when the scores were level
Yup, not a great spectacle so far, lacks the intensity of last match
Sharks with throw in, just inside Blues half
Hello all, GO SHARKS! And well done Wallabies.
Lambie with a nice little chip into the former, but just over run by Ndungane
Jannie in trouble with neck, but is continuing
Hi Bully. Was a good match – not the result I wished for, but all to play for next week now!
Sharks throw-in, just 5 out from the Blues try line
Driving maul, Great try Marcell Coetzee
Lambie slots
7/0 – 24 min gone
Blues struggling for consistency, `Sharks hard on attack. 5 out
Try given. McLeod
Lambie slots,
14/0, 30 min
Blues up to halfway
Blues inside Sharks 22
Try given, Halai
Good leg drive to get him in the corner. Lambie just not quite strong enough
Noakes misses.
14/5 after 33 min
Lovely run by McLeod. Slips 4 tackles before being tripped up. Scrum Sharks inside Blues 22
Excellent scrum Sharks, ends in easy penalty for Lambie
Lambie misses again. HOW?????
Time to hand the kicking duties over to Butch, Viljoen, McLeod, or even Jannie, for heavens sake
Lambies complete loss of confidence makes one wonder if he shouldn’t go North to get it back again, like Percy. Time away from SA, feel he would come back much stronger
