The Bools dominated that game

Some commentators, probably part of the Sharks hype machine, suggest the Sharks might have been unlucky....that two Bools tries were not tries. Certainly one was forward but Step's try was irrelevant. Butall that misses the point, the Bools dominated this game and only a very lucky bounce off the Reinach charge brought the Sharks back into it. Notice the dominance in the stats....Bools on the left:

What you see is the Bools ran the ball far more than the Sharks.....beat more than twice as many defenders. Metres gained were even as a result of a few longish Sharks gains in kick return play...but the Bools were  the aggressors.

With very poor centres and Lambie who is a kicking flyhalf the Sharks have become a kicking team. But teams are expecting the cross kick/ pop kick tactics. The Bools didn't always handle them well, but they did anticipate them. This well will also dry up as the S15 progresses.

Right now the Sharks look bankrupt on offence....with only Reinach's pace on counter attack as a weapon.
