Sharks 53 / Lions 9 (Final score)
The Sharks hosted the MTN Golden Lions at Kings Park, Durban at 19:10 SA Time.
This was the live match discussion Article.
The sharks totally outclassed a lethargic and error ridden Lions side to book a home semi final against the Free state Cheetahs next week, where they will certainly carry all of the momentum.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

Webster’s gonna lose patience with the Lions soon and send another to the bin.
Hofman, another WP discard, no wonder we always fail at the final hurdle
59@ The_Young_Turk:Dang, then I’m all out of idea’s
komaan lions wys hierdie b afdeling wannabees wat julle is
OK Mighty Lions. Good game to win this one. Not that much to choose between the two teams IMO.
None of them playing like champs at the moment.
Why do my capital d’s always come out as smiley faces?
In the words of GBS “lemoenetyd”.
Must be Steve Job’s parting gesture to me
@ Scrumdown:
the “immortal GBS”, please.
This midget Japhta, is fast becoming my mosr disliked ref! apart from stuffing up a few Cheetahs matches, his liking for shrill blasts on the whistle burns my ass! It’s on my wishlist that someone like Coenie or Ashley Buys runs right over him, by accident of course! wimp!
Been a long day of sport, F1 qualifying – Hamilton, Vettel, Button, Webber for the Korean GP
Dink nie die Staat met al hul beserings kan ‘n volsterkte Shark span wen in Durbs nie. In Bloem het hul ‘n goeie kans, so hul sal hoop die Leeus wen of keer nog 2 drieë. Plumtree behoort egter sy WB swaargewigte op te sit na half tyd om te kyk of hul hier kan doen wat hulle (en die ander WB bokke) nie laas naweek kon doen nie, en dit is om te wen terwyl jy die ander span op die planke het.
Vraag is, wanneer stuur Mitchell sy kanonne op ?
72@ ben_die_bul:
Dink nie JM sal gou sy “A” span opstuur nie.
Sharks sal wel. Hulle wil nie Bloem toe vir ‘n semi nie. Het te veel keer in die verlede tweede daar gekom.
@ben,
Die Staat sal heelwaarskynlik vir Goosen, Ebersohn, en Smit beskikbaar he, die Leeus knor in die skrums, maar die Cheetahs behoort beter daar te vaar. Weet nie of die Leeus veel gepla is oor waar die 2de semi plaasvind nie
Ja groot Guppies nou al aan.
Bismark on
Got to feel sorry for the poos Bastids that carry a team through the season only to be shafted when the international players come back.
Part of life I suppose.
It’s getting rough out there for the old Japhy bag
Lions really need to score soon. Wasting far too many penalties.
Sharkies desperately trying to give this game away
77@ Scrumdown:
Should read “poor bastids”.
80@ Just For Kicks:
Not a great advert is it?
Is that all the Boks on now?
Bit more excitement there
No. Butch still on the bench for the Lions.
Webster se nek gaan seer wees more, hy moet heeltyd opkyk as hy met die spelers daar bo moet praat. Hy moet vir hom ‘n paar bakstene saamdra sodat hy hulle in die oog kan kyk as hy so met hulle raas.
Try Willem Alberts.
Much better, Alberts the impact boy
1 more try and the cheetahs will be booking their train tickets
Offside from the knock. Lions go for poles.
Doesn’t look like they are too interested in going for the win. Looks like player preservation IMO.
