1st half performances by Jordaan, Du Toit and Coetzee. Reinach needs to play better in the second half and the lack of creativity from Steyn is showing as the backline is non-existant.

Creativity? What the hell is that? Nobodies running any lines at all. You need to be smart not creative. Look at the Highlanders, smart all the way. Runners making every single defender make decisions, that's what makes the space. Sharks have nothing outside 9 and 10.

Despite a desperate effort by Steyn and Alberts to make sure the Highlanders win the game - the Sharks managed to win.
How many aimless kicks by Steyn let to counter-attacks by the Highalnders that cost the Sharks dearly. Steyn is no flyhalf and the question is - is he a center at all.
Alberts gave away a converted penalty and then he did his normal - he buggered up badly by knocking a ball on in his own 22.
The Sharks players outside 10. Lets look at the stats as well:-
Steyn0/0168/5/4700122/50/000/0
Piss poor Steyn handled the ball 17 times and aimlessly kicked away 8 of those and only passed the ball 5 times - so what chances has the players outside of him has in attacking play? Zero. He lost possession of the ball twice by kicking directly out of touch when he should not have - in the provess losing acres of space. His tackle stats was the worst I have seen for years. My advice is Go to Japan - Go directly to Japan - do not pass GO - do not collect R500.
And then there are some people who wants him as Springbok flyhalf - what a joke!!!!!!!!
