Hellooooooooooo
How’s it hanging?
Yo….whadup dawgs?
Gooo SHARKS!!!
Gmpfff… this was a difficult one to pick for at SuperBru…
Do you go for a struggeling home side, or do you go for a struggeling Sharks side who’s been up and down and up and down?
Lambie is back, Bismarck has had to return to SA… which should give more flow to the Sharks backline but one fetcher less in the forwards pack…. on the other hand the Braid brothers are back for the Blues.
Pat Lam, Blues coach, has been under seige, and his players will want to back and support him 100% with a show of force and a good win…
However, can’t help but favour and support the South African sides… so I’ve picked a Sharks win…. by 5!
More almal…
My gut feel says the Blues will win this one…
Jisja RT’s, dis sulke tyd!!!!!Hoe hang die ghoene almal, julle reg vir n moosa naweek?
SSSHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA AARRRKSSSSS !!!!!!!
5 @ Blouste:
Môre Blouste, hoe gaan dit?
@ grootblousmile:
Same here GBS. Think they might just win this one. Here’s hoping

@ grootblousmile:
Hello GrootBrakkenjan. Gaan close wees, maar Sharks behoort dit te doen, Blues bietjie op n downer hierdie week. Let’s hope…….
Players out on the Pitch
11 @ Pietman:
Daai seun van my, BonzaiGBS, is vanoggend uit op ‘n stout naweek saam met so kort mooi maer enetjie… Ermelo toe vir ‘n troue…
Game ON!
More almal, sterkte vir al die SA spanne. Veral die wat teen NZ spanne speel !
2 Knock-ons… fortunately for the Sharks… Blues almost through
Sharks want to open up…..too soon, me thinks.
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Sykes!
Was a Keegan Daniel intercept, just did not have the speed to go himself… nice finishing by Sykes
Sharks 5 / 0 Blues
Keegan, hehehehehe! Tryline didn’t want to come nearer, I loved the look around by him at the end, like in ‘wtf are you guys’, well done boys!
Blues turn the ball over near the Sharks line.. Blues hard on attack
Sharks defending well…
Blues penalty, easy one… but they go for touch
Blues try the driving maul, nothing happening there… now out wide… hacked through by a Shark, but there was a Blues knock… defensive scrum to the Sharks
Sharks trying to run everything, from their own line… will bite them in the arse big time!
Kom manne, praat saam, ek en Pieta willie alleen kuier nie!
Better now, with Riaan Viljoen kicking a good touch
Morning all, Goooo Sharksssssss!
Penalty adavantage Sharks…. kickble… PLUS they get 10 more metres
