@ Timothy Bornman:
Is the Sharks good or is the cheetahs poor?
Cheetahs knock on Sharks tryline. Sharks scrum inside own 22.
Far better this week from my Sharks. Great to see us off-loading in the tackle again.
I wonder if Fred’s goal kicking has been off target due to him having to sit on the bench the past few week? He is normally very good with that. We need now to settle with this starting side and play them for the last 3 games. Though we will have Deysel back for sure. Marcel and Keegan having a terrific game today. I also like this centre pairing. We need to stick with them.
Cheetahs knock on. Sharks scrum on won 10 meter.
Sharks kicks over dead ball line. Cheetah scrum back in Sharks half.
Cheetahs scrum on the angle. Penalty to the Sharks.
TRy Daniel. Try no 6 for the Sharks.

I would have left Keegan on he is having a brilliant game. Also would have left Heimar on as he has not played for weeks now and needs the game time.

Well done my Sharks.
Only the 2nd time this CC season that we were in total command of the game. The last time was when we played the Bulls and today again. This is the sort of game I expected from my team as we have great players. Could be we finally getting it right.
The coaches now have to stick with this side for the next 3 games. We NEED to build momentum now. No use rotating 3 or 4 players next week again. Only player we will bring back I am sure of is Deysel. Though all of our loose trio played excellent today.
Fred just needs to work on his goal kicking otherwise I thought he had a excellent game. Like our centre pairing with Whitehead and Heimar.
WELL DONE MY SHARKIES AGAIN. For once I can say well done to our Coaches as well. Stick with this team now.
Well done Marcell on mom. Good to have him back at the Sharks.
