VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Ok getting my dinner, see you next game. Cheetahs well done.
Site is too slow. I am out of here!
Puma, Treehugger: tough luck!
Final Score Staat 25 / Tjarks 20
Puma, THugger, Sharky, sorry guys but jees, forget about a long evening, its gonna be a loooooooooooooong season for the Sharks. They looked like a team of bumbling individuals. Only highlights in the Sharks package was Kanko, quick hands, scrums and at times Beast, Adi and JP. The rest was just bollie.
The Cheetahs fans should enjoy this while it lasts. They won against a team that was as disjointed as an unbuilt puzzle.
The Ref did not help in the second half either, but hey even if it was all square, the Sharks did not deserve to win.
Sorry guys. Please pull your fingers OUT of your arses before you leave in tour.
How does a team with close to 270 TEST caps look like such a bunch of amateurs?
Well done Cheetahs. Tha is us Sharks done. May even land up with the wooden spoon this year.
All we can do now is try and not allow any of the overseas team to get the 5 points against us to help out our other SA team.
Good luck Lions, Stormers and Bulls in their games.
Go Bulls think they are looking the best out of all the teams so far.
157 – GG at times we looked very good with ball in hand. Most of the time we just never looked up to much. Those missed kicks by Rory did come back to bite us on the backside. We got those we may won.
Cheetahs deserved it. Hope they beat a few big teams on their tour this year.
Good luck to your team tomorrow.
ai my ou hart brand wit vanaand
Oohh my … so Crusaders not the only ones to have a shite game then !
Well Done Cheetahs – toughies Sharkies! Think it could be over for the season. To loose two games at home and then have such tough away games – it looks bleak. Didn’t see the game, but hear the Cheetahs were worthy winners.
Oh well you win some and loose some – just loosing some to many… 😆
