Freegin hell, a 31-point win!
Puma…I feel for you buddy. Maybe go kick the dog or something. Really fcuk up a man’s day when your team looses. NZ rugby looking awesome this year. Not sure the Boks will be able to measure up against them they way they currently are. Here’s hoping.
sorry sharks. really hoped you guys could pull it off.
congrats to the chiefs. well done!
OK, Super Rugby is done and dusted… bigger fish to fry from hereon in!
I’m out….have fun and enjoy the day

Nee man… lot of blogging left here now….
Ok, that’s it.
Come on home boys, all you Sharkie brave hearts, thanks for a great season!!!!!
Well done Chiefs.
Tough luck my Sharks. You done your Shark supporters really proud by making the final. Next year get that bloody final at home boys. Make it easier for yourselves.
Sharks Forever!
Now our SharkBoks have to recuperate well and be ready for the RC. Go manne. Moer die Argies stukend, en dan die Ozzies en laaste maar lekkerste, die ABs.
If only… if only the Sharks did better in the 1st 10 games…
Maar “AS” is verbrande hout….
334 @ bos_otter:
I am okay with it Bossie. My team got to the final and never expected them too. They got there the hard way and that made me proud of them. The travel was always going to catch up with them. Especially playing a top team like the Chiefs. Next year hope my team gets a final at the Tank.
Boks will be okay Bossie. We will never be as tired as this. There it will be on a level playing field bud.
340 @ Puma:
Sorry Oompie… it was a tough day…
At least your Sharkies reached the Final… the rest of can’t say that!
Congrats Chiefs, deserved victory, best team on the day won!!!
345 @ sharky_forever:
Hello Ty… commisserations…
Cheers all, will catch up with some cricket later. bad luck Puma and all the Sharkies, a great season, and hopefully a bag load of Sharkboks to be named later. They deserve it
Sharks were our best team and should have the majority representation in the Boks. Hope HM will open his mind and get real and not continue living in the past.
342 @ grootblousmile:
If only. We had too many injured out at the start. Beast and Alberts made a massive difference when they came back. So did Kanko when he got selected to start. Teams that start without injuries can make a head start. Well they should. We had a tough draw too by having to play Bulls and Stormers first up away. Anyhow we came back into the final straight with a bang. The travel just killed us. I know many will not see it but the mind goes as well as the body eventually. I was hoping we could win it with the mind today. Just knew we were going to struggle.
Anyhow now when do our Boks get named? What time?
Ok fellers, that’s me out. Ciao a tutti!
339 @ Pietman:
Thanks Piet.
Okay I am out of here too. Cheers everyone.
Come home my Sharks and just sleep for a week…haha. They need it.
@ sharky_forever:
Toughies bruvva, but a bridge too far it was, flying to the other side of the world twice in 14 days a bit too much.
But well done, Sharks gave us all a lot of great rugby moments this season.
The Cricket will start in a few minutes…
I will update those scores every so often, but also have pressing matters to attend to… have to go to Build-It, finish painting the garage floor, one massive pot for a plant…. put all the new knobs on in the kitchen, 43 of them (our kitchen is rather massive)…
Send out a couple of uitkak mails… to MTN, Early Bird Services….
@ Puma:
@ The_Young_Turk:
Tjorts ouens.
@ grootblousmile:
I bro and thanks, No Problem , to be very honest it was to be as expected.
Chiefs really powered home to the trophy….
I know Heyneke will name the Bok Squad from somewhere in the Boland area today… exactly when today I do not know… yet
@ Pietman:
thanks bro, yup, atleast we now know what traveling so much does
The difference for the Chiefs, compared to ANY OTHER side this year, was their balance between attack and defence… the most rounded team this season.
I do not see any other team who would have beaten them today!
