Sharks versus Lions offcial match thread

 Lions make a good break down field, try a cross kick doesn't work. Serious lack of skills. Sharks kick it out.

 Lions on attack. out side 25 of sharks. making progress. Inside pass - no one there.

 Lions still on attack but forward pass. Sharks drove the Lions back as their defence was good.

 Bismark is playing better today.

 driving maul sharks, they get a penalty adv. Sharks score anyway - they are checking with the TMO, is he a kiwi? There might be some hope of an honest call

If Ngune was a Springbok that would have been a penalty. The Springboks are not allowed to compete in the air if the opposition are in the air.

 TMO can't make up his mind, he is not a kiwi.
Finally he decides no try, he must have called a kiwi.

 Yellow card for Whitely.

 Try sharks thru the forwards. 29-12 & a bonus point to sharks.

Some intelligent play by the Sharks, they have played the conditions well with a strong kicking game. Meyer will be impressed with Lambie and Reinach who have controlled this match

 Time is up after the usual time wasting scrums. Not a bad game given the conditions. Congrats to the sharks. Lions gave it a good shot.
Beeno: you have to learn how to access the game via the internet that way when the power goes down you can still watch it as long as your battery lasts.
          
Beeno "in the dark" as usual

All those cross kicks will be gobbled up by the better NZ  opponents. But it will breath life into the lost cause which is Pat Lambie at 10. The beat goes on.

Good one Seb. Always being helpful

 JW you are an excellent guy for sure but your lack of rugby acument is of concern. Beeno may be in the physical dark but his little light is shining!
Lambie had a good game in the wet underlining his ability to manage a game. Watch him grow as the season goes on. He has the head for the position and the mental strength.
