Reinach kicks out directly.
Trevor Nyakane on for Marcel van der Merwe
Lineout pulled down by the Sharks, man played in the air… Pollard for goal
Pollard misses a sitter… eish
Burger Odendaal kicks one a bit hard, directly out… chances, chances… eish
Jislaaik the quality of Rugby from the SA sides this weekend has been less than impressive.
Lots of simple errors all around. This game and the previous one.
@ Stormersboy:
Because the Lions have a bye
Bjorn adjudged to have knocked a ball from an uppie, Sharks scrum
This is what I can’t understand about the Sharks. When the Bulls kick an up & under, Basson sprints after it to make it a 50/50 ball – and this time wins it. 5 minutes ago, the Sharks, on attack, kick a good up & under, and not one Shark chases the ball, effectively just handing the ball to the Bulls (no, it didn’t even get to the Bulls 22). This is what is just plain dumb about SA rugby. If you’re going to kick, make sure there is a justified reason for doing it, and when there is reason to believe that the result of the kick will be in your favour.
Sharks deserve to lose the game on that kick alone, in my book.
Rudy Paige down, knee injury… oi vei
Sharks advantage, penalty advantage it is… and penalty given
Handbags again… again S’bura is involved… as was Reinach and Grant Hattingh
Zeilinga misses…
Burger Odendaal down injured, receiving attention
He is up and ready to go again
Knocked by the Bulls in the lineout, Sharks scrum just outside their 22
Bulls penalty, hands in the ruck
As with the Stormers, this is rubbish rugby – just a lot harder!
Bulls 14 / 10 Sharks
Conrad Hoffmann & Lionel Cronje on for Zeilinga & Reinach
Arno Botha pinged for playing the ball with a knee on the ground
Lionel Cronje misses a shot at goal… left
10 Minutes to go in the game, anybody’s game
Arno Botha down… but quickly up again…
That was studs in Arno’s face… rugby is not for sissies
TMO asks ref to check it
No man, that was accidental… no foul play
Luckily, ruled no foul play
Bulls penalty, so nicely over the ball there!!
Arno Botha
Pollard for goal, about 51m on the angle, I would say
Sharks just don’t deserve to win this. Having said that, Bulls should be at least 20 points clear by now
