Stormers vs Sharks chit chat if anyone cares

"A good local derby is a good local derby" - Pakie, 2024

Howzit Plum. Certainly would expect the Sharks to win this one.

Fassi with a good kick for the corner. Penxe looked hella slow chasing that.

Sacha already creaking.

Horror lineout Stormers and the Sharks have a scrum 5.

Sacha still in trou ble. Is this guy match fit or is there some serious bullshitting going on in the Stormers camp?

Looking forward to seeing the AE and Julius centre combo today.

Come on Sharks!

Penalty Sharks. Take the scrum!

Sharks penalty from the scrum. Lineout 5.

Julius already looking dangerous as he busts a feeble tackle from SFM. Another penalty bang in front. Poles.

Julius beats a few as the Sharks rumble close to the line. Another penalty.

3-0 Sharks

Penalty Stompies. They're also going for poles, no. . . they tap and go . . . was interested to see which of Manie or SFM has kicking duties. Hope it's Manie!

Stompies score a try. Now we'll see . . .

Stormers score. Delicious chip by Gelant for Senatla .

It's Manie . . . and he misses. 5-3 to the Stompies.

Penxe again a bit slow there.

Deon Fourie holds up and then rips Ox.

Sharks scrum collapsing. Same issue as last week against the Bulls.

I agree Penxe looked cumbersome again for the Senatla try.

Stompies penalty and Manie has another shot . . . he misses again.

Libbok with another shot. Hooks it. 0/2

Knock Stormers. Another forced offload that wasn't necessary.

Julius bouncing out of a tackle before being carried over the touchline.

Great take in the air by Senatla.

Great disruptive work at the breakdown by Esterhuizen.

SFM steps inside his man and then throws a chicken wing pass directly out to touch.

Sacha past one and then another forced offload that flies into touch.

Lots of handling errors, no flow to the game .

Sharks again conceding a penalty at the scrum . Sacha drops a pass cold as the Stormers try to use the advantage.

The ref may as well be wearing a Stompies jersey. Another penalty agains the Sharks. Manie goes for the corner.

Why isn't Sacha taking the kicks?

Hershel hesitating before passing.

Manie for touch, Stormers lineout 10 or 15 out.

Finally the Sharks get a penalty and Jordan makes good ground.

Sharks take the lineout. Poor kick by Jayden but the Sharks get a penalty for obstruction.

Sharks score but it did look like a forward pass . . .

Julius looking very sharp and offloads to Jaden to score , but the pass to Julius looked forward.

Sharks now with a chance, Julius through the half gap and offloads to Jayden to score. Sacha again with barely an effort of a tackle on Pepsi.

Forward pass confirmed. No try.
