Looks like a card wasn't even considered.


Sharks with a promising attack until Edwill passes to no-one and it's in touch.

I've liked what I've seen from Siyaya. Sadly, he's about the only Shark who's shone. Maybe Phepsi as well.

Weak defence from the Sharks along with some good stepping from Kasende and Ospreys score. 21-12.

Ox Nche and Vincent Koch are finally on but it could be too late.

The Sharks scrum is transformed and they monster Ospreys. Unfortunately there's a knock on and they get another chance to smash Ospreys . . . they do it again and this time win a penalty. To think the Sharks could have had this kind of scrum dominance from the start.

I’m puzzled why wasn’t that head contact an automatic card. The commentator said ‘nothing malicious’, but that isn’t the standard.

Jean Smith is almost in but a good tackle by Hardy and it's out into touch.

It's a knock on before it went out so it's a scrum to Ospreys . . . can the Sharks win three in a row on the Ospreys put in? It's a reset . . .

Another reset. Finally the ball is put in and the Sharks smash then yet again. It's over the line but Ospreys save it. Scrum to the Sharks now.


The difference since Ox and Koch came on is remarkable.

Ospreys are running out of props and now it's uncontested. Very suspicious considering the previous scrums.

At last the game is restarted but it's uncontested. Don't ask me why. Looks like Ospreys have 3 front rowers on.

AE goes hard and Manu is just short. Oh for goodness sake. Siyaya knocks on with an unmarked man on his outside. That's a shocker.

No card but it is a needless penalty given away. More subs for Ospreys but no props among them. Scrums remain uncontested.

Masuku throws a wild pass to Vincent but Ospreys knocked on first. Another uncontested scrum.


Siyaya does well and the Sharks are back on attack. They need to score here. 9 down and 13 minutes to go. It's very messy but Sharks have a penalty advantage for offside. No advantage and back for the penalty.

Ospreys replacement scrummie looks about 14 years old.


Ospreys still in possession but not making much ground. They are a man down due to running out of props.


Penalty Ospreys. Tough choice. If they kick this they'll be 7 ahead.

Siyaya kicks it out. Poor decision. Sharks need to win the lineout or smash them back.


They do neither. Ospreys trying to wind down the clock.
