Game is already 5 minutes old…
Ihaia West for goal, from a penalty.
Blues 3 / 0 Sharks
Tryyyyy Beast Mtawarira, Sharks!
Blues 3 / 5 Sharks
Strong Sharks scrum… penalty advantage is played… and then the penalty is given.
Blues 3 / 8 Sharks
Both sides willing to run with the ball and doing great little offloads… quite a good game so far!
Not a good clearance kick by Willie le Roux, lineout to the Blues inside the Sharks 22.
Good work by the Sharks on the ground and Reinach toes ahead… and again… Mvovo chases hard…
Sharks attacking scrum well inside the Blues 22.
Sharks get a penalty for obstruction on Cobus Reinach by Ihaia West.
Rene Ranger also off injured, he looks quite sore!
Blues 3 / 11 Sharks
Try George Moala, Blues!
Blues 10 / 11 Sharks
Great, great touchfinder by Willie le Roux…. out deeep in the Blues 22, from just outside his own 22.

This is a very close game… could easily swing either way.
There was a story about a Sharks player involved in an assault not long ago was this true or all a pack of nonsense? If it was true then it would be confusing to see this player is out there in NZ with the squad.
@ Bullscot:
Kyle Cooper. And I believe he is there in NZ. At this stage the case is pending. Innocent till proven guilty and all that.
Sharkies mustn’t ruin my Superbru. I picked them to lose. I don’t mind a close game, but need the Sharks to lose by between 3 and 7.

18 @ Lion4ever:
Interesting… I have obviously missed that news.
Yeah, only a pending charge would not have prevented Kyle Cooper going over on tour.
@ Lion4ever:
Hi Lion4ever thanks, he is on the bench. As you say innocent until proven etc but if you have a trial hanging over you it still surprises me you can travel overseas in the meantime and must be hard to concentrate on playing and must be tricky to manage within the squad context.
Outta here have a good day all. Scarlets v Glasgow Warriors later GO GLASGOW!
19 @ Lion4ever:
I picked the Sharks to win by 6 on Bru!
2nd Half ON!
22 @ Bullscot:
Tjorts Bully, have a good one!
Tryyyyyyy Paul Jordaan, Sharks!
Nice half-break by Willie le Roux and then the perfect offload… and Paul Jordann finished off superbly!
Blues 10 / 18 Sharks
Sharks penalty, deep inside their own half, kicked out well!
Blues penalty on the Sharks 10m line, in on the side… shot at goal.
Missed well to the right by West.
22m Drop in by the Sharks.
