    Straight according to the game plan, as Norty explained it in the Jakeball thread…to perfection.

    Pietman, Jakeball works if correctly applied, won us the 2007 World Cup

    Highlanders scrum in disarray
    Maybe having the Beast sitting in the stand is his best position?
    Current front row looking much better

    Ha ha
    Jake’s face after that SP drop was priceless, not impressed at all

    Fransie Vettie slots another penalty.

    Sharks 13 / 3 Highlanders

    Slotte raak nou min daar in Durbs, ons Bulle sal Vic vir hulle leen.

    Wow, brilliant try Highlanders

    Try Malakai Fekitoa, Landers!

    Got to kick the ball out Sharks, not keep kicking it back to them to run it back

    Ben on 19 July 2014 at 5:42 pm

    Eish, pragtige drie. Nee kyk, die NZ weet hoe om hardloop rugby te speel.

  • 73

    Pietman on 19 July 2014 at 5:43 pm

    Sharks locks both injured….eishh…could be a problem going into the next games. But problems here now, Landers back into this one.

    If they don’t keep concentrating, there won’t be a next game

    Sharks se voorspelers is hulle oor, maar as game los gaan raak gaan Landers sterk in die game wees. Sharks sal baie goed moet verdedig.

  • 76

    nortierd on 19 July 2014 at 5:46 pm

    75 @ Ben:
    Hulle moet die bal net verdomp uit skop.
    Mens gee nie die NZ spanne soveel bal om mee te hardloop nie

    Sharks 13 / 10 Highlanders

    Frans Steyn hits the upright with a penalty, it’s a miss.

  • 78

    grootblousmile on 19 July 2014 at 5:48 pm

    These Landers won’t lie down… they attack hard and make metres every time they have ball in hand.

  • 79

    nortierd on 19 July 2014 at 5:48 pm

    Highlanders weathered that early storm superbly, and never allowed the Sharks to run a too big a lead.
    Not good signs so far for the Sharks

    Pietman on 19 July 2014 at 5:49 pm

    Nee kyk, Percy is hondkuk op verdediging…dit is sy enigste swakheid.

  • 81

    nortierd on 19 July 2014 at 5:51 pm

    That penalty just sums up the mindset of the NZ teams.
    SA side would have kicked to touch to go into halftime.
    Look what they go and do, 7 points at the other side of the field

  • 82

    grootblousmile on 19 July 2014 at 5:51 pm

    Try Hames, Landers… under the sticks!

  • 83

    Pietman on 19 July 2014 at 5:52 pm

    Mens kan maar net jou kop skud…
    Maar pragtige hanteerwerk deur die manne van Otago!

  • 84

    Ben on 19 July 2014 at 5:53 pm

    En daar is die verskil tussen ons en NZ rugby. Met daardie strafskop sou al ons spanne uitgeskop het, veilig gespeel het.

    Nee wat, Landers gaan score sommer gou.

    Groot game on 2de helfte !

    Interesting half time score line….. 😆

  • 88

    Pietman on 19 July 2014 at 5:58 pm

    10-0 voor binne10 minute, en loop agter halftyd…
    Sharks sal meer besit moet kry, en die bal in hand begin hou…maar dit val seker buite die bestek van Jakeball om binne jou eie gebied te begin hardloop soos die Highlanders
    Worry
    Harry Viljoen het presies die teenoorgestelde destyds gedoen, hy wou weer met alles hardloop, geen skoppery, amper sy gat gesien teen Argentinia met Jake as sy assistent.

    88 @ Pietman:
    One thing you can’t coach is mindset Pietman.
    You can coach structures and drill game plans into players until they can do it in their sleep, but if the other side plays like the Landers, you got to fight fire with fire.

    It’s all good and well to say we won’t play in our half and kick the ball, but it’s just giving them more opportunities to run it back at you. You are playing into their hands
