Just klapping a quick braai then I'll join in Plummie. Howzit.

Is Juju injured or something?
We are 91 seconds in the game, commentator;
"Slow start from both these teams"
WTF!?
Jenkins with a nice charge down and comes sort of close to scoring
Sharks maul gets them a score.
Looks like Phepsi is the one that scored
7-0 to the Vissies
I am present. Just missed the try.
Holy shit my braaivleisies is lekker, boet.
Haha enjoy man
Esterhuizen and Hooker fluff it. Andre not happy
Do we seriously have both Stransky and a woman on commentary. What did we do to deserve this?
Esterhuizen teaches the Cardiff 10 some Afrikaans
"Do we seriously have both Stransky and a woman on commentary. What did we do to deserve this?"
this chick is annoying AF
Sharks defending a good few phases there but Cardiff have a penalty right on the sharks line in front of the posts...they tap, go wide and easy try
Nicely worked try for Cardiff, pinning the Sharks in the middle. Not much numbers out there to begin with.
Stransky pulling out the A Team quotes now...
Why, Joel? Why?
Stransky reckoned that went according to the plan. As always astounding insights.
Haha!
Nice offloading by the Sharks. Hooker is off it seems, Malan on.
Needless chip kick charged down.
Sharks with some nice phases and then decide to kick it and the chance is gone :/
Oh no, Giliomee is off, that's why Malan is on.
Is that an HIA for Hooker? Looks like it
20 minutes of my life I'll never get back
Esterhuizen fighting off 3 under pressure to set up solid ball for the Sharks.
HIA for Giliomee, Hooker still on.
Hooker hasn't gone off, Pakie...fake news haha
I corrected myself up there Plummie, come on man. No joke.
Very calm exit from David's there...Jordan eventually makes a sizeable net gain with his clearance
can this chick on commentary just shut up!
she has the personality of dishcloth
Sharks bash once too often and they're turned over.
Davids stifles the momentum again.
Just cos he's small and coloured doesn't mean he's a good 9
The Panama soccer team is staying in the same hotel as her man, she's cool AF.
Grady with a beautiful take in the air. Big break for the touchline on the bounce there and Sharks have a pressure lineout.
And the Vissies are wick inside their own 22 for a defensive lineout :/
Jordan in trouble.
Sorry I'm late.
Jordan gets a yellow.
Come on Sharks!
Must agree with you guys, this commentary is dreadful.
Howzit Rooi. I had lekker braaivleis, boet.
Yellow card for Jordan :/
Deliberate knock
Why do I even bother watching this Sharks team
Hi Rooi
And Cardiff score...
Here we go...again
Cardiff blowing a try as Belcher holds on too long with Thomas open outside him, but Grady scores on the other side of the field anyway.
If the Cardiff hooker had passed to his outside it would have been a try . . . but they score anyway. Cardiff lead 12-7. Mason Grady gets his second try. Sheedy misses the conversion.
The entire Shark's backline was offside there
Snap Pakie.
"When they are dangerous they do look so good" - lady commentator.
Commentator;
"When they are dangerous they do look so good..."
I mean, somebody might have an extra chromosome
lol Pakie
JP changes the entire front row 30 minutes in.
Nee fok okes, we must get some fresh blood into the match chats. We're just repeating each other.
Entire Sharks front row replaced
Maybe we can invite Stransky.
Now the Sharks get a penalty and kick for the corner.
Phepsi is in for his second try.
Phepsi burst from that maul like there was a sale at Tops.
Phepsi somehow runs right through everybody and scores his second for the night...
That was random haha
Bit of a dubious skew throw there by Cardiff but I'll take it.
3 minutes left on the yellow and the Vissies lead by 2
14-12
We all know Frans Malherbe doesn't look anything like a professional athlete but the Cardiff tighthead gives him a run for his money.
Great try by Penxe after it looked like the Sharks botched it. That chippie was almost as lekker as my braaivleisie.
Yaw Penxe does brilliantly to score. Jordan is back on to convert. Sharks lead 21-12.
21-12 with the half almost done.
Nice try from Pen"click"le
Cardifff caught napping victims there
Jordan is back on and the Sharks managed two score two tries while he was on that yellow.
Good job
Nice take from Hooker
Hooker controls the high ball. Cardiff turns it over on the ground.
Half-time. I assume Giolemee failed his HIA?
Do you guys know where Juju is? Injured, dropped? Didnt see the team so I don't even know if he's on the bench
Half time
I think I know what's annoying me about the lady commentator...she's trying too hard to sound like a commentator
Juju is on the injured list according to the Sharks website.
"Juju is on the injured list according to the Sharks website."
Eish
Gielie probably failed else he would have been back by now.
Ndungane;
"They are making every ruck a bit of a battle fight."
Haha
What did you braai Pakie?
I think I know what's annoying me about the lady commentator...she's trying to hard to sound like a commentator
I hate cliched commentary and these two are pulling ever cliche out of the hat.
What did you braai Pakie?
Beef short rib strips with a lekker strip of fat on them and boerewors with garlic potatoes on the side.
"What did you braai Pakie?"
haha such a foodie, Rooi!
Cardiff have made almost double the tackles the Sharks have
"It sounded like the Ark...two by two."
Somebody please shoot me
Sounds lekker.
When I do short ribs I buy the thickest ones I can find, give them about 20 minutes in the pressure cooker and then char them on the braai while the liquid reduces.
Plum, yes, I'm an unapologetic foodie.
hahaha Jenkins had no idea what to do with that break of his
Jirr Mapimps...you've got two WCs to your name...how do you not know you can't do that?
Haha, I'm a food neanderthal, they just go straight on the rooster. Got a nice smoke going once the fat started dripping so they had a lekker braai flavour.
Nice take by Penxe.
The South African braai culture is seriously underrated.
Back to the rugby, Faletau off but Basham who replaced him lives up to his name.
Can this damn lady shut off for two seconds!!!
I think she thinks this is radio commentary
Man our sides play kak rugby. Messy boxie, messy breakdown, disjointed backs.
Jenkins looks bit hurt.
I wonder if it's too late for me to braai.
Anyone know who she is? She sounds a lot like Natalie Germanos who is equally bad at cricket commentary.
Let's agree, they make good refs but crap commentators.
Let's agree, they make good refs but crap commentators.
That's about right ja.
These two knuckleheads talking over the ref...and then reporting on what the ref says afterwards
I wonder if it's too late for me to braai.
It's never too late for braai, man.
"he's got the pace he's got the power" - peak commentating. Followed by "captain's knock".
Great tackle tracking back by Esterhuizen to stop that breakout.
"Anyone know who she is? She sounds a lot like Natalie Germanos who is equally bad at cricket commentary."
This chick is particularly annoying .
But the lady refs are indeed better than the guys on average
This ref is better than Piardi though.
Much calmer
I'm quite impressed with AE as a captain. He does lay down the law to his players.
Beautiful flick over the top from Andre puts Jordan into a half gap but the Sharks botch it. They send such poor ball to their backs.
Poor Ethan Hooker has barely seen the ball. Hate the way our sides play.
Phepsi having a good game tonight.
Sharks give up a penalty in a promising position.
Sharks rumble a bit but Cardiff get the steal
More slow juggled ball has the Sharks being knocked backward, then they isolate themselves in another series of endless close contact carries and gets turned over. Zero imagination.
Hatton throwing a pass that Jordan had to reach over his head for from 5 meters away under no pressure about sums up the Sharks.
About 50 people around that high ball but nobody gets a touch on it
Cardiff running some great lines.
Hooker at last gets a bit of action with a brilliant take, so casually done.
Ethan again with a nice take
And Jordan throws a hospital. Jirre the Sharks have no idea about backplay. No wonder they box kick and bash everything.
At Least the Lions and Bulls games will be worth a watch tomorrow
...as the Sharks make a lineout steal and Davids clears
"Mulder, what a run he has had tonight."
...proceeds to read out the most benign of match stats possible haha
Apart from his kick being charged down in the first half, Davids has had a pretty good game I reckon.
My wife just asked me why all the Cardiff players are called Hugh James . . .
Mistakes and whistles is about the story of this game
The Sharks should send us money for being decent enough people to actually create a match thread for their shit and chat about it for 80.
My wife just asked me why all the Cardiff players are called Hugh James . . .
Sound like she has a future in commentary.
And now Mapimpi drops it
Agree Pakie. It's been dire . . . but I'll take a win.
Can someone tell this chick she doesn't have to mention the sponsor every time she talks about the Sharks?
...at least hating o the commentators passed the time
Ja it's been tough watching the Hollywood Bets Sharks tonight. Hollywood Bets Sharks have not covered themselves in glory. We don't think the Hollywood Bets Sharks play very good rugby, do we boys? Jordan Hendrikse just cleared for the Hollywood Bets Sharks.
At least she's stopped calling Cardiff "Cardiff Rugby" every time . . .
If Cardiff get a score here things could get interesting
Great tackle Grady on Andre.
Now that you've drawn my attention to the "Hollywood Bets Sharks" thing it's driving me nuts.
Cardiff penalty. 21-15.
You are welcome, Rooi.
Cardiff taking three and putting themselves in range of a comeback win
21-15
One score for Cardiff could win it.
Penxe with a nice take. About the only positive we've been commenting on is people catching kicks.
Ref asks for clocks to be synchronised...
MNet production team rapidly google "What does synchronise mean?"
Jirr an error per second at this point
Jordan charged down. Kick kick kickety kick and it ends with a defensive lineout close the Sharks line.
Ox forces the knock-on. Hollywood Bets Sharks might just hang in here . . .
Cardiff drops the ball again. No one can hold the damn pill in Durban. Move these games to Bloemfontein.
Eish, Dan Thomas drops it and that's probably the game
Whan meeneet to go, okay okay.
MOTM = the three of us. We suffered more than anybody on the field
Sharks win. Thank fuck that's over.
Laters dudes.
Thanks for the company
Agree Plum. Oh well, a win is a win.
MOTM = the three of us. We suffered more than anybody on the field
Yeah it should have been us and Juju on the short list.
Thanks for the company boys, see you for better times tomorrow.
Phepsi MotM is a good call.
Not really impressed by the performance = the Sharks backline was pathetic.

Will watch a bit of this but might not stay for the entire game.
Are you watching, Rooi?
