sharks vs reds live thread

this should be a good game, reds travel poorly in SA and the sharks are SA best and only hope for a title.

sharks form and home advantage should see them win this one, but the reds cant be ruled out, just look what happened to the waraths against a lesser team.

Hope I can watch this game w/o having to evacuate my building, lol
Should be a good game but Sharks will probably impose their style of play & win it.

what happened to ur building dr win???

sharks cheerleaders are the best, :o)

beast was a mile off side.

quade cooper has improved his goal kicking big time in the last year, but this is a tough shot for him.

pooper nails it and reds leading 3-0 3mins gone.

nice clearnce kick from pooper.

 hi Sasuke san: fire alarm. Not sure if it was a real fire.. not knowing Polish sometimes has its challenges, lol

more attacking flair in aiden toua then the whole sharks squad combined.

just in case, dont forget to stop drop and roll dr win, lolz.

francois power boot is sick, very deadly.

not sure about that call from the commentators and the offside,

 Steyn is looking good so far this season (cool it mickey), lol

arm wrestle at the moment as both teams try to gain the ascendency.
reds playing with more speed in the breakdowns, sharks playing with more power.

cooper nails a penalty and reds lead 6-3 15minutes gone.

Try by Sharks. Sithole is looking fast and strong with ball in hand. JP is looking slippery on the wing. 
19-6 Sharks. 

 The python grip of the Sharks looks like the Reds are feeling the pressure. Sloppy lineout.

 Asst. ref should provide more support for the ref. that was a high tackle.

 Frans Steyn is back to being the best long distance kicker in the World!!!!

Game seems slow & boring. Hope we see some sort of red surge in the second half.

 Lucky cooper made that jersey tackle or the sharks would have been gone.

 Slow.....start to the 2nd half. Should pick after the 55th minute once the subs start coming on.
Reds have ruined a few great line breaks with the receiver knocking on.

 Sharks are just grinding out a win. Agree once the subs come on it may pick up.

 Good try reds!

 Reds are out playing the Sharks in second half. Could be the beginning of the end for the Sharks, lol

Sharks and the crowd have gone to sleep. Reds give a stupid penalty at lineout to get a yellow. Stupid Lambie misses touch on the penalty.Subs are on, will it make a difference?

 Glad the refs are not bent in SA, lol

 Cooper has played a controlled game - nothing rash.

 The game is turning into a comedy of errors by both sides

 Styen is at -6 for fantasy rugby right now.

 & now he has a knock on , more lost points.

Sharks had a grind it out victory, that's what you need to do sometimes.
Congrats to the sharks, reds don't look so bad.

Yes Reds easily won the 2nd half, but Sharks did enough in the first half to win the game.
Not a great performance by Sharks, but perhaps the most pleasing aspect is the substitute players making a good contribution to the end. Chadwicks try was good power play. It is showing some good depth in the squad, and allways a good sign that a team has structures when new inexperienced players can enter the fray and play well with continuity.

food win from the sharks, too good for the reds whose SA hoodoo is proving a bit too much for them to handle.
white plan is coming along nicely for the sharks, they play the numbers game and their option taking is right up there with the best if not the best.

lambie was awesome and coetzee was deserved MOTM, am going to have to try and work coetzee in my team somehow this coming weekend.

the sharks as a whole on defence and attack produced a real team effort, but despite it all, i dont see anything which convinces me the sharks have what it takes to beat the chiefs.

will be interesting to see how the waratahs roll in SA, i think they play the sharks in durban too.

stephanies replacement that lewies fella looks the goods, will keep him on my watchlist.

only the sharks and the chiefs are undefeated now, wonder who will be the first to break the winning streak.

 Score flattered the Sharks who went to sleep for much of the second half. Reds messed  up a number of try scoring opportunitites. Yellow card again was a vital issue.
Sharks lack an authoratative lock combo.  Prefer watching the Lions who show heaps of go and skills. They are wide awake.
