Sharks now looking to nail the coffin shut… attacking inside the Staat 22
How relaxed was Keegan Daniels wandering to take the ball from that ruck – only in Deben
Penalty Sharks….. after a long advantage
Another kick for Lambie
Sharks 20 / 13
6 minutes to play left
Sharks’ boks make all the difference.
Sharks scrum, barely 10m out
Awful play from Daniller
186@ The_Young_Turk:I think Brycie knew how much they wold be needed this w/end…
Sands of time running out for the Staat… less than 2 min left
Flag out against the Sharks
Last gasp chance for the Staat
Pro just has to have a say!
1 minute left, Staat has it… what can they do.
Nothing, apparently
Sharks attacking lineout
Last chance by Cheetahs thrown to the wind
Hoffmann runs it into touch, game over
Hard luck Staat! You were simply outgunned!
Could it be a NZ final, or will the goats spoils the party – till the next thread
Final Score: The Sharks 20 / 13 Toyota Free State Cheetahs
Well done to the Sharks.
My internet just died on me for the last 20mins.
A game of two halves it seems.
13-0 for cheetahs and then from a bit before half time the Sharks 20-0
This young front row of the Cheetahs looked quite good to me
Bulls and Cheatahs were the only teams that could have beaten the Sharkies. Now they will probably retain the cup.
About as much support for the sharks in here as there was at the stadium! Oh well, I walk alone
OK, off to the shops quickly… see you just now…
… gedra julle, al is dit sleg….
hard probeer chaps,dat een oud bok en n klomp wannabees nou vir keeeeeegan en sy aangekoopte chommies so kon opdraand gee….. Naka en kie klou vir al wat julle werd is aan die groep wannabees,as daar n guppie scout in bloem gesien word bel my,sal n ontsnapping reel vir n hitman…..
@ superBul:
nie sleg vir n oud bok en twee wannabees nie ne.
Well done my Sharkies.
We made it hard for ourselves, but a win is a win and I will take it any day of the week.
Whoever scheduled a rugby game in Durban to start at bloody 2:30pm are out of their minds. It was 34 degrees out there today. Players could have got heat stroke, idiots. In Durban a game at this time of year should always be played at 5pm earliest. Both sides were so drained from the heat.
WELL DONE SHARKS. Into another final. Proud of my team.
@ Puma:
Puma congrats mate, you are one of the best Sharks supporters.
I am looking forward to the final, hope they play Lambie and Jantjies at 10. That will be quite interesting to watch. Both are great up and coming stars. Must say that Jantjies looks like a kid but boy he is tough.
