Sharks Kings game

I realise that I'm on very dodgy ground making this statement. But I'm sure the Sharks have learnt many lessons from the past and Plumtree has drummed it into his team that there are no free rides in this competition.

On paper this should be wipe out but I have lived a long time and seen stranger things happen...could this be another nemesis in rugby.

The Sharks have fallen victims to weaker sides in the past...because mainly they oozed overconfidence and showed little respect for opposition...I think the great AB's have had the same problem with France.

The Kings have a point to prove as they have been ridiculed by critics ever since they entered the super competition...they are smarting and charged and are playing in a very partisan arena. The Eastern Capies are a very proud region producing very high standards of rugby in schools like Dale,Selbourne,St Andrews,Queens,Grey PE and many others but lose the talented to bigger franchises/unions.

I am a Sharks fan and have always been and I believe they are the top SA side in the Super Series.

But I remember a few games when they were hot favourites against the Cheetahs and the Lions and have come unstuck. On the otherhand they tend to play their best when the chips are down and they are second favourites.

This one I want to be completely wrong. In the super series you have got to be at your very best in every single game...there is no rest and forgone conclusions. 

 Relax chabal the shakies are going to give Keo's team a solid snotklap. The Force if the had played like they did against the bulle would have had a very comfortable win.

 Chabal Keo reckons the sharks will win by 40 points which is reasonable to me.

I was also interested to see he punts the Stormers to win by 7.

Also makes sense to me.

A large win by the Sharks is possible - nut it also depends on proper gunctioning of the Sharks backline.  I Steyn continues to crashball - it will not happen. 

I was somewhat surprised by the Re-Union programme comments on the Chiefs game tomorrow.  Hansen and Marshall reckoned the Stormers will beat the Chiefs.  That despite the Jantjies handicap.  I reckon a win is possible if they bench Jantjies after his first two foul-ups - which should be within the first ten minutes, .
