definitely in NZ
@ Puma: Congrats Puma. Judging by this game, your team looks like they could be champions.
With Puma back here, it must be said that the Sharks deserved the win… and it must be said that Deysel deserved his Red Card!
This win by the Sharks will surely have an impact on the Bulls’ chances to make the lay-off as it is most likely that only the SA conference winner will be among the top 6.
276 @ Nama:
Bulls now within reach to overhaul the Crusaders too…
lay-off = play-off
One more kak result for the Saders and 4 very good results for the Bulls and they will pass the Saders on the Log…
One feels like the Bulls have left their charge a week or 2 late though!
@ Nama:
Happy the Sharks won, has kind of broken that mental block in Christchurch for all our teams, My bulls just needs to win the next 4 games and see where they end up, Sharks could still lose 3/4 😀
Bulls could have won at least 2 in Australasia and did not take their chances, so we cant feel hard done by if we don’t make the playoffs.
@ grootblousmile:
I doubt that….Crusaders are 4 points ahead of the Bulls with a game in hand.
So happy could have jumped on and off my chair….hahahahahahaha. take that Saders 13 men at one stage against 15!
That will gon down in the history books of Sharks games as their best win ever. This will bring the team together like never before. Jake must be smiling from ear to ear. This has made my weekend or not my year so far…
happiest shark supporter ever. So damn proud of the boys. Go have a few beers now well deseced. Klapped Saders for the first time inChristchurch and not with a full team ever. What heros,.. 
281 @ Nama:
4 Points equals 1 game… that’s why I said 1 more kak Saders game and Bulls could overtake them

@ Puma:
hehe congrats puma, kaksioek, shark forever and snoek
Sorry for mistakes there. Not even going to correct them… Hahahaha. Man feel like running around the block with my kak knees nogal…hahahahaha. Just such a brilliant feeling winning with the chips down on you. What heros… 😎
@ Puma:
This was almost a terrible day … now it is a great one
Let’s mosey on over to the Reds / Rebels thread!
@ kaksioek:
it sure looked easy 😉
crusaders have all their games vs top 6 teams from here on in.
@ Puma:
I have been throwing things in my lounge, lying flat on my face in front of the TV and had phone calls from my neighbours as a result of the noise 😆
@ Puma:
dont worry puma, you dont have to correct typing errors all weekend
287 @ kaksioek:
Best ever. Have a huge step in my feet. Hell what a magnificent win for our Sharks. Damn man they were our heros out there playing at one stage with 13 men to beat the best side in the comp right now. Feel on top of the world….

Not from my lounge!
@ grootblousmile:
One thing in your favor is that 3 of the Saders’ 4 losses were in Christchurch and they still have to play 3 games there.
@ Nama: Nama, lay-off is more apprpropriate for our lot down at Newlands. If there were lay-offs this year, we might just have made it 😮
292 @ MacroBull:
@ Puma:
The difference between last week and this week is ridiculous. That performance has to help the Sharks going forward. I think they will be hard to beat now.
@ kaksioek:
what do you think was the difference in tactics this week other than less ball to kick?
@ kaksioek:
sorry thought you said tactics lol the performance was phenominal in defense, the crusaders never looked like scoring.
