    1 @ Pietman:
    Thanks for supporting my team Piet. Us saffas should stick together.

    Looking at this game think Sharks should rotate against the Rebels and play their best against the Brumbies. They the team we need to stop getting more points. Have to see how the Sharks go tonight and just hope the damn injuries stay away now.

    Catch up later.

    The Sharks can be Berry glad they look so good on the Veldsman and not only on Peyper!

  • 6

    If the Guppies win by between 5 and 15 I’ll be happy.
    Any other score is just wasting my time and messing up my margin.

    5 @ grootblousmile: And will they be playing in White tonite?

    Thinking

    The way I see it just looking at the fixtures is the Saders could make a huge come back here. I have a feeling they could win all their remaining games. Saders still to play and mostly on their home turf:

    Brumbies
    Reds
    Sharks
    Canes
    Force
    Canes
    Blues

    They very well could win all those games. Brumbies who looked in fine form today came off a bye last week and the week before lost to the Rebels. They still have to tour SA after playing the Sharks. They play Cheetahs who should have beaten both the Saders and Chiefs if their defence was better on the day. We all saw last week the Cheetahs defence was very much improved. So who knows they may spring a surprise and beat the Brumbies. Then Brumbies still need to face Bulls at Loftus the next week. Brumbies too still have to take another bye where they don’t collect points. So they need to win plenty of their games from here as well with bonus points. Saying that if they play like they did to day then bonus points will not be a problem.

    For me the danger team to watch is the Saders. They have toured SA won both games and now mostly play at home when they are finding form.

    Overjoy

    No boet we playing at home in Black and White… Tounge-Out

    Think we only play in our white strip on tour… Happy-Grin

    Also think with the Sharks and Brumbies having so many Boks and Wallabies in their team we have to see who is left standing after the June tests player wise with less injuries. By the time the Super Rugby starts again players that play for their international team are gonna be so tired I feel. Internationals should always come after Super Rugby. Hope the new format has that in mind. We need to finish one tourney before going into another.

    Players are being played into the ground really. Also hope with the new format in SR that there is at least a 2 week break before the internationals start to give the Bok players in those teams a rest first. Do hope they come up with a much better format than this one they have at the moment which does not totally work for players. Too many picking up injuries as well with the home and away derby games that has to stop as well in the new format of SR.

    @ nortierd:
    So, how was EP, good?

    17 @ GBS
    Swiel is still going to make you swallow your words.
    Just wait till the other backline players off the Sharks get to know him and sit on his shoulder like a Folau who can properly run off his teammates.

    Didn’t watch the game, just saw the score. EP has hardly won a game all season, so I’m not sure if the Sharks played a second string Vodacom side or not.

    Bulls beat the Limpopo Blue Bulls by 116-0
    I only picked them by 92
    Happy-Grin

    The Sharks loss means that if WP get a bonus point win tonight they will finish 1st in the Southern group

    24 @ nortierd:
    I am prepared to swallow my words… IF I ever have to, about Swiel.

    I do not see the hype around Swiel at all!

  • 29

    28 @ GBS
    The only Shark try last week was as a result of a Swiel break.
    I’m not looking at his kicking stats now, Pollard also struggled when he played big boy rugby, and that was in the CC last year.
    Swiel has something else, when he runs and keeps ball in hand.
    I’m sure once he finds his feet he will dazzle.
    Have you seen the clip of his when he was still in matric?
