    Think its a matter of trust now.
    Sharks have lost trust in their kickers and will probably/should adjust the game plan if they are to have any chance at winning this one.

    Kan regtig nie verstaan hoe hul ‘n NZ ref kies vir so groot game nie ?

    Dis nie die ref wat kak skop nie, ref is heel ok, Sharks maak hulle eie foute en speel hulle self uit die game uit

    Lambie moet af, sommer nou!

  • 124

    Sorry about the “Krokodil” Boys, nothing I can do… errors at the Web Host… busy bliksemming them as we speak!

  • 125

    Sharks are just getting more and more hopeless as the game goes on

  • 126

    Crusaders are dominating the breakdown even with at least 2 loose forwards standing on the wing.

  • 127

    well we’ll just have to wait. Pathetic kicking and ball wasting will continue for now it seems. Saders will be 30 ahead by half time. When I will force myself to go shopping instead of watching this rubbish.

  • 128

    Carter going for goal again…

  • 129

    Pace of the game is going to hurt the sharks I think..

    16-3 the good guys

  • 130

    Crusaders 16 / 3 Sharks

  • 131

    Sharks need a 7 pointer or it is tickets …

  • 132

    123 @ Pietman:I suggested earlier in the week that the entire nation, including Jake were pinning their hope too heavily on Lambie. When will we ever learn?

  • 133

    This is where the Sharks need a proper captain… Bissie’s big moment to stand up.

  • 134

    None of the Shark’s kicks are even contestable, just mindless hoofing the ball forward

    I wonder if Keegan Daniel could have come handy in this fast track game of rugby

    I thought you had carded me… 😡

    Lambie slots a Sharks penalty.

    Crusaders 16 / 6 Sharks

  • 139

    @ Hondo:
    And Keegans leadership, mostly.

  • 140

    @ Just For Kicks:
    @132 Why? This is a step too far for the youngster alone, seniors must step up bro?

  • 141

    Sharks still making schoolboy errors, but look so much better running the ball

  • 142

    The Crusaders are being slowed down by Ritchee and Todd who is hanging in the backline

  • 143

    Sharks rely on broken play mostly, set phases they are out gunned.

  • 144

    @ Pietman:
    Its Jakeball, rely on defense and counter attack from mistakes… sharks played that way all season, then the Stormers started doing it.

  • 145

    Ek pis sommer in my broek, direk uit weer!

  • 146

    Saaaaks se skakelpaar en Steyn is hul swakpunt tans.

  • 147

    There is always an upside to every downside in life.
    Fortunately I’m a Stormers supporter so the pain from watching this first half embarrassment is watered down in part. But I’m still a South African to my toenails. Sharks need to get a grip.

  • 148

    140 @ Pietman: Because a player simply cannot come back from such a long injury lay off and be expected to be the saviour of the side – no matter how talented he is. I think far too much pressure has been placed on him, and it is showing. He is a player of prodigious talent, and will be castigated unfairly after this game.

  • 149

    Thats a shocking touch finder, at least it was out, but even i could do better than that.

  • 150

    Thank heavens Snkae White is not the Springbok coach anymore. It’s a farming embaressment.
