Sharkies versus Brumbies

Sharkies are probably low on confidence after almost losing to a makeshift second string Stormers. But remember the win against the old crust in nz wi th 13 men.

Sharkies you won't get much support but Beeno s here for you.

Brums score!

Now sharkies lose ball near brums lvne!! Hope its not another bull t ype first half.

Massive penalty by Bosc h!! 7-3 to Brumbies

Now defence again close in as Brums waltz through and score. Dismal stuff from Sharks. Come on sharks wake up. Looks like they are fast asleep as were the Bulls!

Brums lead 14-3. 

Dan Du Preez goes off with rib problem. Bad news for sharks.

Bosch converts again. 14-6 to Brums

Now sharks 7 goes off! What the heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharks are hopeless right now. Brums score agavn. They are so much more energised and backline play miles better. That Brums number ei ght looks good.

Wake up Sharks the game is already almost done. Brums lead 24-6

Bumbling Sharks get a penalty.

Andrews, Coenie, Schreuder are all sub par.

Personally Am should not come anywhere near a Bok team. Esterhuizen is a lump of lard. He punches well below his weight.

Anyhow wake up sharks one try and you are back in thi s

Sharks miss Beast , Akkers and Thomas du Toit

Well sli m support for the Sharks. but Beeno still here for you sharkies. its hard going!

Sharks have forward pass metres from Brums line!

Am overcooks grubber Brums dot down

Goo d day Beenz...Sharkies better start climbing that mountain soon.

Sharks camping in B rums 22 but no sign of a try yet

Penalty to sharks. Will take 5 metre lineout. Esterhuizen barges over near posts. Uses hvs weight well for a change!

Can sharks come back.

Hi there Draad. Ni ce to watch some rugby and not be bothered by the pervs!

Sharks looking impressive as they lift the tempo! Penalty and now lineout Fiv e meters out. Goooo Sharks!

Hi there Cloudy this game is not qute over yet. if sharks score its game on.

Wvll of course support Jaguares.

Nkosi is a warrior. How about him at 13?

WTH was that penalty for reF!

Great snipe by Brums scrumhalf who scores under posts. Now compare that to what that useless Pedestrian Schreuder produces.

L ooks like the game oaks!

The sharks have spent plenty of time in brums 22, but have no clue as to how you unlock a defence.

Charge at your opposition, go to ground, allow the opposition defence to reset and start again.

Well its over now. Brumbies very good on defence and competitive on the deck.

31-13 to Brums

Sharks lost the game, as did the Bulls, in first 25 minutes of the game. Both teams were fast asleep coming onto the field.

Same again Brum ri p through the middle and score - third time this has happened. Bosch looks like he got injured

On the last few weeks' form, Bools clearly the best SA side at the moment...first season for Pote and he almost beat the second best team at home nogal.

The decline in SA rugby continues. Sad but true.

Rassie now hopefully has more time to prepare Boks. Still think we can field a competitive Bok team. We shall see.

Goooooo Jaguares!!!

Now the Canes can definitely beat the Saders...and the Jags should win at home...a real chance to see an Argie final?

Ya Draad Pote has done a good job. Bulls would have definitely won at home.

Trouble now is so many players are going overseas so 2020 could be very tough. The Sharks are a badly coached side.

To be fair to Fleck his team was decimated by injuries - a real shame as that full strength Stormers pack was the best in the competition - backline not too bad. Guys like Leyds, Willemse, Jantjes, Allende gave the team some threat especially if the pack was on top. But it was not to be.

Would be nice to see Jags win Draad . didn't look to convincing against the chiefs.

Mallet saying Sharks had sixty eight percent possession and scored 1 try. Brums had 32% possession and scored 5 trves, That tells you that the sharks attacking ability and defence were very poor.

Mentions the first defender being poor. Says no chips and grubbers etc

Poor performance by Sharks. Mallets says no SA side deserved to be in final.

(Firmly believe a Stormers side not decimated by injuries were good enough to make semis).

So the biggest problem as always is the inability to score tries.

Mallet compliments Bulls. Pollards form has been great. Bulls have broken down defences. That is the good news. Says ref and assistant refs lost the game for Bulle! Shocking stuff from the down under refs!

Now discussing the disastrous drain of players going overseas when young and in their prime Back to square one. Says nz players leave when older.

Folks what is the answer. To me we have to earn the big bucks by playing up north so we can retain our players. The panel i s saying big rebuilding over next 4 years. We are done?

Sharkbok to me it's the mental failure - this involves creativity. We are not playing smart rugby. Next we have lost too many players overseas - over 300. Assume each of our 4 unions could have 15 of these 300 plus players. That would make a big difference!!!!!!!!!!

Then we need some top coaches. The fact is that even the Sunwolves are better on attack than our sides apart perhaps for the Bulls

However cant see any of these things being addressed. Just being realistic. Our guys play hard but lack the skills.

The Canes will probably not beat the Saders...disheartened by the prospect of having to travel halfway across the world if they win...but if there is a team to do it, it's the Canes...like the Saders in Joburg...and the Landers of a few years more ago.

Far from over...and a few good teams left.

Beenz, the Chiefs built up quite a bit of steam in the last half of the competition...no pushover side at all.

Not a bad side the wee chiefies. But to win the Jaguares must play at home. Anyhow its all over for us.

No side in semis and Jags win our conference!! Something has to be done to stop the slide.

Does anybody remember from whence we have fallen. Greatest rugby playing nation on earth before isolation and now look at us. Time to face up to our failings oaks and do something about i t!
