Just far more refinement and planmatic approach by the Brumbies…
Brumbies penalty, just outside their own 10m line… over the ground ball.
Big touchfinder by Robert du Preez for the Sharks.
Coenie Osthuizen finally subbed… he of course if off to the Sale Sharks, so that was his last action for this side.
Scott Sio replaced by James Slipper.
For once a Sharks wrap-around backline move bears some fruit…
Brumbies exactly know, that the Sharks attacks will come from one-off Sharks loosie runners… and they defend accordingly.
Sharks penalty 20m out, in front.
Another Sharks penalty, Folau Fainga’a in on the side.
Sharks stil have not looked like scoring… and as I say that André Esterhuizen scores a try.
Brumbies 24 / 13 Sharks
20 Minutes to go, the deficit is 11 points.
1 More Sharks try will place them firmly back in the match, with their territorial and possession dominance they now have.
Sharks penalty advantage again… penalty given, 1m outside the Brumbies 22.
Lineout 10m out…
Sharks knock… Brumbies defensive scrum.
Brumbies started the game well, but it is as if they are just treading water at the moment.
Brumbies scrum penalty, against Thomas du Toit!
11 Minutes to go, the deficit also 11.
Brumbies penalty, Mccaffrey over the ball.
Try Joe Powell, Brumbies, next to the sticks…
That should be the final nail!
Brumbies 31 / 13 Sharks
6 Minutes remain.
Sharks penalty, Sam Carter offside.
6m Sharks lineout…
Brumbies steal the Sharks ball… and clear to touch.
Knock bt André Esterhuizen.
3 Minutes to go
So, every remaining South African side knocked out in the Quarters (Vodacom Bulls and Cell C Sharks).
Crusaders vs Hurricanes
Los Jaguares vs Brumbies
Those are the semis
Try Matt Lucas, Brumbies!
Brumbies (24) 38 / 13 (6) Cell C Sharks (Final Score)
Brumbies win by 25 points…
After a season which saw a lot said about the Sharks coach, Robert du Preez snr, and with the news of some of the coaching staff already set to depart, the Sharks will have to consider whether Robert du Preez should stay on…
A lot of Sharks players and stalwarts also leaving for overseas opoortunities.
The Du Preez Twins, Robert du Preez, Coenie Oosthuizen, Ruan Botha (if I am not mistaken), Akker van der Merwe, Louis Schreuder (if I am not mistaken)… who else??
