Great kick and chase Fassi
QF Sharks vs Munster . . .
Davids is finally on and not even for Jaden who is needed for his kicking. Mapimpi is off.
Jaden kicks it out and we have a kicking contest.
Well, a kicking contest...
LOL!
Well that was an uneventful 20 minutes.
Apart from the Stormers this feels like scraping the bottom of the top 8 barrel. Not a game for the ages despite the drama.
Three kicks from three different positions. Three different kickers.
Not be negative but I can't see the Sharks winning this...
Munster have better place kickers
Here’s a howdy do.
Jaden first from bang in front.
Crowley taking the easy one? Suprised. He does nail it though.
Should have slapped in the halfway spot for some fun.
Jordan taking from the right . . . it's over.
Rory Scannel from the right . . . he misses!!! Advantage Sharks!
Bradley Davids just needs this now.
Lol Munster miss their second kick
It's over! Sharks win . . . no . . . all 6 kicks are taken. Conor Murray next, from the left . . . . it's over. Advantage still Sharks.
Now it's the 10m line. Jaden nails his from in front.
Jayden slots his first far one from the middle position
Lol Okay I like Jayden's tactics here...
That wink at Crowley...brilliant
Crowley lining up from in front . . . Jaden having cramps . . . Crowley's kick is good. Now Jordan from the right.
Jordan nails it. Great kick. Now Munster need to convert to stay in it.
Scannel nails his kick.
Bradley Davids to win it.
Jordan slots his far one from the right too...
But Jayden is injured...
So what happens now?
If David's get this one the Sharks win...
He's only about 12 years-old...
Cumon boy...
HE GETS IT!!!!!!!
Yes!!!
Bradley Davids wins it!
Bulls vs Sharks semifinal at Loftus!
Well done Sharks!
”I know it’s sore but we need to move on” … comment of the week
Okay that was classic. First time I've ever seen a kicking contest
Ja something different. Well done Sharks.
Pretty sure Munster will be kicking themselves that they didn't put that game away.
Ethan Hooker is MotM.
Looks like Hooker is MOTM
Well done my son.
He's gonna be 100 cap Bok this chap.
A most boring march to watch I have seen in a long time. Why 0- because the Shark backline is discfunctional and that makes it toothless. Poor inaccurate passing and knock-ons stopped most of the Sharks attacks and let to posession turnovers, That match ended up in having kicks at goal and on that the Sherks go through to the semi.
Can't fault the effort of either team, though not of the highest quality or skill, Sharks deserved to win given the overall dominance from from around the 30th minutes onwards. Still given their rather unsavoury behaviour during the kick competition I hope the Bulls batter them into the ground next weekend.
How poor was the iSharka, Hats off Mpimpi, Ox. Ebenezer was immense, what a player and played the entire game, unlike that great captain of 55 min. Oh and the Saarks got on the scoreboard.
Fassi got better towards the end of the game.
Plumtree will need to drop the Hendeikse brothers. Absolutely abysmal
Esterhuizen became môre dominant in the game.
However, Hooker is by far the best player.
Based on form during the play-offs and season my picks would be Hooker and HANNEKOM to crack the nod for the boks.
SFM completely imploded against a well structured team
dfgh
First Rugby game I have seen end in penalties, it was more like watching a football World Cup knock out.
Flabbergast was distraught. 2 poor kicks that somehow went between the poles. It is not clear how the Sharks camp was getting in the way, but it did appear as though Jaden could have just been moved out of the way to create more space.
Sharks lucky to win and Munster bad luck Not closing out the game….Go Bulls!
One looks at how effective the Sharks backs are when they get the ball and you have to wonder why they're so afraid to use them.
It's just pod ball after pod ball...over and over with little result.
They had Hooker, Mapimpi and Fassi on the field last night and yet it seems they're incapable of just letting them have the ball from set piece when there is space.
It's the SA way. The forwards get everything and the backs have to make magic from nothing. I honestly think we waste so much of our talent.
The Bulls are gonna eat them alive next week.
"The Bulls are gonna eat them alive next week."
That does appear likely . . . but if I was a betting man - and I am - I think a Sharks upset would be a good value bet.
Absolutely can't wait for next week. Don't know when last I was so pumped for a local game.
I quite enjoyed the kicking shootout. Well, I would have enjoyed it if I wasn't so anxious . . . but I'm not kidding when I say it would be better if the opposition chose your 3 kickers . . . or at least one of them. Let's see how guys like Vincent Koch, Eben Etzebeth or Bongi Mbonambi kick . . . with that kind of pressure on them!
Would be great. We'd see more props, locks and hookers taking the occasional place kick at practice.
Was Kollisi injured when he came off yesterday?? He looked so comfortable on the sidelines like a Princess:)……
Then take Eben who really put in a Captain’s shift…..Even a busted up eye could not stop the man!
"Still given their rather unsavoury behaviour during the kick competition I hope the Bulls batter them into the ground next weekend."
The wink?
C'mon u Bulle !
It was more than a wink ... fkn pantomine ... doos behaviour
