81 – Turk, I know we done plenty of that this year. Looking a bit better now.
Suppose a nothing game this. So must be hard for the boys to raise their game. Still would like to see one more try. That will be only our 2nd 4 try bonus point this year!!! Need to do better with scoring tries next year.
Blue bulls the Stormers eventually qualified to the semis. You guys have short memories do You remember the year when the blue bulls lost almost all their super rugby games
The Shark Tank is very empty…
93@ Wezwp – Wat het dit met die prys van eiers te doen?
Intussen was daar ‘n hoop Curriebekers, 2 Super 14 Titels en nou 1ste op die Log…
Lyk asof Pakistan die Aussies gaan klop, nou nie dat ek veel gepla is wat met die T20 gebeur nie.
There’s still something to play for puma, mate. The sharks have a points difference of -7. They should at least try and get into positive double figures, so that means winning by at least 17 points and then of course scoring at least 4 tries. Need to create targets mate and then don’t rest until you overtake them!
Ag gbs relax. Die sharks doen nie te bad nie.
@93 You’re point being…………?
98@ Wezwp – Wat is dit met jou en jou haat jeens die Bulls?
Try Cummins
Sharks 24 / 22
Sharks better up a gear or 2
Shite! Exellent try!
Sharks squander a try opportunity, but penalty Sharks
Pienaar going for posts
Sharks 27 / 22
@100 To be fair it cuts both ways bigblueglimlag. Some supporters can dish it out with relish but can’t take their medicine in return..
I still need the Sharks to score farking 18 points and the Farce to score 5 points… hehehe
Sharks still don’t have their bonus point
This ref is somewhat blind…
If the Force score and convert, the Sharks are in the poo!
Aussies veg verbete terug teen Pakistan … as Proteas maar net so bietjie van daardie guts gehad het.
Offside by Force… kick to posts Sharks!
For farks sake man, sharks! Put these chumps away. I’m going to be so pissed off if sharks lose this game!!!!!!!!!
Ruan misses with a minute and a bit to go…
Bad miss there by Pienaar. Sharks could still lose this.
Scrum…. last act of the game??
Too many changes too from Plum. Think the whole bench is on except for Goode. I would have kept Rory on for longer. Even after that bad pass.
Penalty Sharks again…
Ruan kicks out
Final Score Sharks 27 / 22 Force
