Fassi plays a man in the air… handbags…

He’ll be in trouble… well, well… only a penalty!
32

Mapimpi putting a lot of pressure on Tom English and English can only hack the ball out.

Attacking Sharks lineout.
33

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:26 pm

Try Robert du Preez, Sharks!
34

Excellent touchfinder by Schreuder, out 5m out.
36

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:29 pm

Sharks playing the territorial game… with Robert du Preez also kicking to touch.

Rebels defensive lineout, 13m from their own line.
37

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:31 pm

Sharks almost through, Curwin Bosch just too lightweight to make an impact towards the line…
38

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:33 pm

Serious Rebels handling error, on their line…

Sharks 5m scrum!
39

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:35 pm

Try Makazole Mapimpi, Sharks!

Good touchfinder from the penalty from André Esterhuizen.
43

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:45 pm

Turnover Rebels scrum, Sharks ball not emerging.
44

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:46 pm

Knock by the Rebels right wing… 10m from the Rebels line.
45

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:48 pm

Strong Rebels scrum… scrum penalty!
46

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:48 pm

Sharks scrum for a knock…
47

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:50 pm

Sbu Nkosi knocks… ball must be slippery as hell, because there are many handling errors now!
48

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:51 pm

Try Mapimpi, hit the gap and blitzed the Rebels!
49

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:53 pm

TMO to have look at a clothes-line dangerous tackle by Marius Louw…

Phweeeew, looks bad!
50

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:54 pm

Yellow Card it is… and of course no try to Mapimpi!
51

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:55 pm

6 Minutes to go
52

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:58 pm

Rebels penalty, quick tap and go…. they get to the 22….
53

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 6:59 pm

Sharks scrum, 10m from their own line.

Sharks need to get out of their territory here….
54

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 7:00 pm

Sharks win is secure… but the Rebels could still earn a losing bonus point with a converted try.

Sharks scrum penalty… this is what they wanted…
55

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 7:01 pm

Seconds to go….
56

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 7:01 pm

Game over!
57

grootblousmile on 23 March 2019 at 7:02 pm

Sharks win without a bonus point.

Strange old weekend of Super Rugby results…

Blues beating the Highlanders – Unexpectedly
Stormers playing badly against the Hurricanes and losing
Waratahs surprizing the Crusaders – Most unexpectedly
Lions not playing terribly well against the Sunwolves
Bulls absolutely shocking at home against the Chiefs, who before today was nowhere – Tragicly unexpectedly
Sharks about the only result I expected…

One more game to go, tomorrow morning at 07:00 Sa Time: Reds vs Brumbies
