Landers relieving penalty, whoop.. great stuff!
Halo Rudi en vriende,
Hoop gaan nog goed met almal, ek was lanklaas op
Te veel gebeur in my lewe….
Sharkies lyk maar beroerd
150 @ Te Rangatira:
Hello Rangi, man from the land of the long white cloud!
152 @ Gena_ZA:
Jeeez, hello mater, hoe hang die balle?
Just too many mistakes by the Guppies, unfortunately – agree Te R – as soon as things start going wrong for the Sharks, they take the ball back into the forwards, and the Landers read it like a cheap comic
155 @ Just For Kicks:
A Boudjellal Comic?
Catches win matches
156 @ grootblousmile:Perhaps a Bollywood movie script?
Ben Smith off for a loonie bin test
Aaron Smith playing an awesome game
158 @ Just For Kicks:
The Sharks are diabollically crappy this year… and all the excuses do not wash anymore.
Dicipline issues, too many coaches, some incompetant coaches, old past sell-by date players…
As I mention his name, he becomes a deer in the headlights – didn’t have a clue what to do when shown an open try line
Argh, Landers muck up a try opportunity on the Sharks line… what a waste!
Landers lineout, 8m out
Thats a try
Try Reddish??
TMO
Good try!!
Bonus point it is!
Agree, GBS, its a personal opinion, but Guppies are an embarrassment to SA rugby this year – worse than the the Kings in my book
Mark Reddish… looks Blueish to me… hehehe
Highlanders 31 / 10 Sharks
Great opportunist try by the Landers.
Sums up the game, Landers making much more of their opportunities.
That last try just shows where Sharks rugby is at the moment. Could it get any lower?
@ grootblousmile:
Kia ora Groot…Highlanders playing high octane stuff…entertaining stuff
Flok, the Landers now want to nail the coffin properly shut.
Sharks seem clueless
How is Nasi Manu playing today? Think Edinburgh did a good bit of business securing him for next season. Should be quite a potent loose trio with Manu and Cornel du Preez there. Am still gobsmacked that the big teams in SA let du Preez slip away after the Kings Super Rugby season. Think he is a top player and such a pity he was out so long for injury this season. BUT he is back and in the starting lineup for the final tonight.
Try Aaron Smith!!
TMO asked to check forward pass
Great try… nothing wrong there!
….and the embarrassment continues. Stupid arguing at lineouts, bad throw ins, and bobs your auntie. Guppies in for a huge hiding unless they buck the fark up
Try is duly awarded…
