    Sharks 26/23 Lions

  • 92

    Sharks have had 9 kickable penalties of which Zeilinga has slotted 7
    Crazy stat, Pro loves the dynamite

  • 93

    Lions on the attack and invariably another penalty against them

  • 94

    89 @ BrumbiesBoy:We’re giving them a run for their money – 4th time its going off in a month! But H&S so bad here, they’re probably cutting it off because they’re working in the Isle of Man.

  • 95

    4 minutes to go, Lions still with 14 men, they need a try, but chances of that happening is looking slim

  • 96

    Lions their own worst enemies, so many simple errors

  • 97

    1 minute to go, Lions need a length of the field try now

    Cheers all, hopefully I’ll be able to catch the last 30 min of the Boks tomorrow – which is fine, as they only play for the last 20 anyway. Go Boks.

    99: jammer, verkeerde draad.

  • 104

    Bulle kan nog semi’s haal, veral as hul Bokke terug is volgende week. So die kans is goed dat SARU, wat mos daar in die Kaap is gaan besluit Bokke kan nie speel in CB nie.

    😉

    Nice result for the good ones even if a bit unexpected.
    Bit of a worry about the injuries though.

    Anyway, nice to have the haters chewing their gums again.

    😥

    Lesego ‘Pro’ Legoete the worst ref I have ever seen in national rugby, a disgrace do south african rugby, he must be removed from any kind of rugby, he should not be part of the sa rugby union.

    Having rid itself of the boa constrictor, Jake White, the Sharks played with freedom, flair, purpose & above all, joy!

    Next weekend’s showdown with PW should be a special contest.

    I agree. What a poor performance. He was completely clueless.

    But apart from that we had 2 sides that played some attacking rugby which was good to see. The handling of both teams was not that good and hopefully it was the Durban humidity 😉 and not the skills that contributed to that.

    So that basically means that 3 of the 4 semi spots are taken, cant see FS take 10 points against Lions and the blommetjies.

    Ek lees nou juis op News24 dat SARU seker weer op hul woord sal terug gaan en toelaat dat die Bokke net inkom vir die glory games.
    Ek hoop hulle hou by hulle woord en laat hulle nie toe nie

    Dit was nog heeltyd die gekontrakteerde spelers wat uitgelaat word, maar elke situatie sal afsonderlik gemeet word, van die bokke gaan verseker speel.
