Referee: Marius Jonker

TMO: Jason Jaftha
No cards in the 1st half for the Kings, just a team warning, yet, first opportunity in the 2nd half he again warns the Pumas.
Jonker definitely has his own agenda here as well.
Must remember to ask Hondo whether SARU has instructed him to ensure that the Kings win at least one game, to spare them some blushes
Pumas also get a relieving penalty, as the Kings walk around in the scrum

Janee, Jonker het net een oog!
@ nortie:
Jonker has been in a slippery slope since 2007
Hells bells, to be fair the pewmas should never have gotten that ball back, about two players playing it on the ground, while EP had an effective counter ruck
POOR rugby this, EP had an open tryline for their maul when the Pewmas rolled to the side and could not make it count
Not lekker rugby, this game… and to be honest not much to comment about.
I agree with those replays, this Gates guy has probably been the “Best” player in the EP team this year from the games i have seen.
Kings penalty… this one at posts, to maybe make the scores equal.
Short, just, just short

Impossible….Luke will walk away with the prizes and the bonus for the player of the year 🙄
Gosh, I secretly hope Carlos Spencer goes to the Shorks
@ nortie:
haha Luke has that first game against PW to rely on.
Jinne, moreoggend wil ek bietjie in lê en laat slaap.
My oge is vanaand verlep!
@ MacroBlouBul:
Kings would have hosted a semi next week if only he had remained injury free…..so near, but yet so far
Pumas penalty on halfway
Jonker trying to save face, but in truth he is not good enough. @ nortie:
I had hopes for the Kings, but they are extremely poorly coached.
@ MacroBlouBul:
So do I but local reports reckon Gary gold is the leading candidate.
His Saracens background will help no doubt.
Kan nie weer voor die pale mis skop nie
Drop attempt by JW Jonker… missed well right.
The Ref goes back for an easy umas penalty though.

Pumas 25 / 19 EP Kings
Weren’t the Kings still on a warning?
No yellow, what a surprise, Jonker can’t send a player off because then it still means 15 v 15 if we count him in as well
@ Charo:
I was mostly joking, as in I hope he goes there and compounds your misery 😆
@ Charo:
With Gary it will once again be a forward orientated game plan.
He does know his stuff though
@ Charo:
I just cant see the Sharks getting anyone other than P.Divvy, it all depends on his relationship with John Smit though.
It is just the most logical choice for me, ESPECIALLY with the coming transformation plans.
Flok, my oë val heeltyd toe… ek sukkel behoorlik om wakker te bly.

Gaan slaap maar ou grote
76 @ MacroBlouBul:
I won’t blame Carlos, it’s similar to when Carel coached the Boks.
They were geniuses on the field, and it’s difficult for them to comprehend that the other players they are coaching can’t do the things they did naturally.
Carlos has a bunch of palookas that are so useless that none of the other provinces wanted them.
If he had the Sharks resources and players, different story
Scott van breda is like a headless chicken, poor all round skills, no wonder the Stormers did not want him.
@ nortie:
Well maybe Carlos and Gold?
Mensig maar hierdie is n kak game.
Ouens vang soos hulle gatte
my fok die is soos bulletjie rugby
