....says the Aussie commentator, after the ball was clearly knocked forward before the Sheehan non try. Fortunately the TMO was consulted....because the reffing team caught nothing. Not the deliberate knock down of a Sharks' pass in a dangerous move. Not the Sheehan off the ball stuff .
But it was a satisfying game for the Sharks. The commentators were clearly convinced, along with RooiAAS, that the Force was going to win......and produced laughable bleats like : " spectacular stuff by the Honey Badger". The bias settled down in the second half as it became clear the Sharks were going to win.
On the positive side Marcel Coetzee had a great game, du Toit added some urgency even if he didn't improve the scrums and Daniels did a lot of good things.
A word about Viljoen. I have never understood why this guy isn't better supported. Today he was close to the MOM with a faultless fullback display.
On the negative side, JP is no centre. His failed tackle which resulted in the first try was just one example. And what is going on with Lambie. His kicking has gone from spectacular to just very good....and he hardly ever tries to beat a tackle. For me he is perhaps the most disappointing player of the SA campaign, not because he is poor, but because he seemed set to be so much better.
