Ospreys vs Sharks . . .

If you dare!

Swansea is one of my favourite cities . . . not because it's particularly beautiful or anything but because I had such a good time there a few years ago.

Come on Sharks!

Edit: Except this game is not in Swansea, it's in Bridgend.

Unlucky bounce otherwise the Sharks were in.

Siyaya pinged for holding on. Edwards sets up an attacking lineout for Ospreys.

Good hands from Ospreys and Dan Edwards is in to score. 7-0.

I'll watch a bit. Lovely try by Ospreys, sensible handling.

Siyaya looking like Arendse as he sliced through there. Loses it in the tackle.

Howzit Pakie.

I'm never confident with Jaden on . . . but he's been ok so far.

I like these small old grounds In provincial towns

Howzit Rooi. Yeah very different feel to the bigger stadiums. Nice buzz going on there as well.

It was good to see Siyaya try the little chip over the top from the back a few minutes ago. Damn near gathered it too.

Siyaya has been very involved so far and he does well to keep possession and win a penalty.

Sharks looked to have number wide there but Smith defaults to the kick again.

Nice maul try Sharks.

Phepsi is in. Should be 7-7 . . . no, Smith misses. 7-5.

Almost 20 minutes already? I thought the game started at 9.

Shocking box kick from Jaden. Gifts a lineout to Ospreys.

Jaden gets all of 5m on that boxie and gifts Ospreys an attacking lineout.

Game started 20h45 our time.

Haha, the echo of the familiar posters is back.

Some nice offloads Sharks.

Some nice handling from the Sharks front rowers and they win a penalty.

Nice take by Hooker…leads to Shark attack and a penalty. He has seemed a bit anonymous lately

Hooker gets little else to do than chasing kicks in the Sharks setup. His dad died recently as well which might have influenced him.

Some good stuff from Ospreys. They go to where there are no numbers though and knock it. Whistle goes just as Hooker has a chance to break out.

Some sustained possession for Ospreys but they eventually fumble it and it's a scrum to the Sharks 10m out from their own tryline.

It's not just Hooker who's been anonymous. Very hard for any Sharks outside back to shine this season playing this brainless brand of rugby.

Okay chaps, fatigue is starting to take me and my stream is behaving about like my brain. Have fun.

Sharks get monstered in the scrum.

Ox and Koch both on the bench.

Ospreys are in after a good maul. Sharks looking clueless again.

Jac Morgan the scorer.

Looked as if the Sharks were late to push there.

Just turned on and see the Sharks scrum demolished and then a maul try to Ospreys.

The universe doesn't want me to watch this game

Fez Mbatha is subbed . . . and I'm not sure it's an injury. Eduan Swart is on.

Thats What we usually do to the opposition….scrum penalty and following maul try.

Manu can't hold on to a regulation pass.

I keep hoping the Sharks turn a corner and start playing to their potential but this is more of the same rubbish.

The breakdown is messy and it goes the Sharks way. Ethan Hooker shows a clean pair of heels. Good pace. 14-12 . . . but the TMO is having a look . . .

The try stands and it's half time, but Hooker looks like he's dislocated a shoulder after scoring with an Ospreys defender diving on him after the try was scored. Should be a card for that but looks like he got away with it.

What a lousy tackle by Morgan…completely unnecessary. I had that injury, that’s months out of the game.

Was it Jac Morgan? A shocker.

That could be Hooker's season over.

Luke Morgan
