I picked against the Sharks on SuperBru and on the Rugby-Talk SportsPool Competition… due to their frailties on No 9, 10, 12, 13… a backline which seems largely impotent.
However, they’re a Saffa side and I hope the Sharks win.
Go Sharks!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSS
1 – GBS,
Is there any Six Nations on SuperSport? Don’t anything on?
3@ Puma – Not sure Puma…. I’m like a horse with blinkers on, I only see the Super 14 from now onwards…. hehehehe
4 – GBS…hehehehehehe. Yip, feel like that too but was hoping to see the Ireland/France game, though it is on at the same time as the Sharks game. So probably they not showing any of it.
Wales and Scotland on at the moment but nothing on TV.
Where is Carol GBS? Have not seen her here for a long time now. Unusual not to see Carol blogging here. I know she said she was going to the Wales game, could have sent us some pics.
Good luck to my Sharkies.
