In enjoying Gelant we forgot to give credit to Jaco Williams for never giving up the chase.

LOL, Esterhuizen leading the MOTM vote despite barely seeing the ball all game, and then Stransky tries to chat him up to justify it. Comedy gold. My MOTM is Grant Williams.

Ja Roos has done fuck all except that carry that set up Div's try. Dixon's been good at the breakdowns, Div also had his moments. Vinnie has also been really good at the rucks and breakdowns. But Williams was the only momentum this Sharks side had, those quick taps were deadly and he kept speeding the game up while Jordan did his best to tank the momentum. Without him I doubt they would have been in this position now.

Stormers held up...that the game.


Sharks hustled the Stormers today.


JP will be happy.


Lots to improve on but they're turning the corner

Sacha tackles himself as no one else could get to him.

Not the best game but good win for the Sharks. Stormers will need to ask themselves some tough questions, this was not a good Sharks performance yet they got smacked.

Pretty awful game…but contested. Esterhozen….center, hybrid, captain.

Plumpster AE is the captain so he gets credit for the win as well as his own play.

What exactly did he SO that was, so brilliant.

Ask yourself the same question about 12 years of Dud Allende.

Poor Mozzietard still smarting about his very poor call re Springboks great Damian Allende.

Let's not mention Du Toit or Rassie!.

Pop goes the weasel!

Congrats Sharks. For a second weekend in a row, the Sharks took their chances when it mattered most. AE again played a good game.


The Stormers have only themselves to blame. No wonder Rassie does not pick Roos, he was useless. All show, but no real impact...I wish the Stormers can get a real 8th man.


Adre Smith, Ruben van Heerden, Neethling Fouché, Paul de Villiers, Ben Jason Dixon, Marcel Theunissen, Mchunu and Jonathan Roche worked hard.


Only for the backline to kick possession away or blunder it. Sacha was not good today. He missed too much with his kicks at goal. His tactical kicking was also poor.


Jurie Matthee is the better flyhalf at the moment. Gelant, like I said in a different post, is consistently KAK! Honestly, why Dobson still picks this fool, no one will know.


Willemse had a very quiet game. So did the rest of the backline. Pathetic showing by the Stormers.
