Sharks attack, wave after wave… until the Blue Bulls earn a relieving penalty!
Not good both my teams behind by similar margin at moment. Halftime – Glasgow Warriors 10/17 Leinster
Sharks penalty, just inside the Sharks half.
Sharks over… knocked over the line…. no try!
Blue Bulls clear their line, after a good carry by Agaba…
22m Drop out by the Bulls, after a kick by Curwin Bosch went too deep…
Ivan van Zyl’s kick charged down… and Ruan Botha picks up and scores for the Sharks, under the sticks!
Sharks 28 / 13 Blue Bulls

Ugly unforced errors cost the Bulls 14 points…

2nd Half ON!

Bulls attacking well…. the hand of John Mitchell, in the way the Blue Bulls play is very evident!
Sharks scrum Free Kick, early shove…
Men with skills and silky feet, could become absolutely awesome under John Mitchell… one has to feel!
Players like Warrick Gelant, Travis Ismaiel…
And the forwards are starting to really handle and offload…
Blue Bulls penalty, against Keegan Daniel, 5m inside the Sharks half… but close to touch.
Not enough distance and out to the right.
Silky handling by the Blue Bulls…
So good to see that their attacking game is coming on in leaps and bounds…
Next big chapter MUST BE to shore up defences…

Nice to hear that. Our Achilles Heel has been our defence for many seasons but if we can get to a position of outscoring our opponents through our attack then that’s ok
Sharks penalty, dangerous high tackle… kickable.

Blue Bulls penalty, also for a high tackle.
Both captains get a talking to about high tackles…
