Stormers vs Sharks chit chat if anyone cares

Manie for touch, last chance before the half.

Stormers think they've scored from the maul.

Nah that's touching the touchline as it is grounded surely.

No, they go for the corner . . . Sharks defend the maul well but there's a conversation between the officials. Not sure what they're checking, the ball was clearly out. 

It's a yellow for Ethan Hooker for coming in from the side. Manie sets up the maul again.

Sharks defend well and will take a 5 point lead into half time . . . but they will be down a man for the 1st 10 minutes of the second half.

Great spot tackle Penxe, Esterhuizen writes off Gelant. End of half.

I flicked to the cricket and wished I hadn't. Proteas 27/3.

I wonder if Dave still thinks Manie can tackle. If you have a big guy, run him at Manie for free meters.

To be fair, Sacha's tackling wasn't much better.

Penxe saves a certain try.

Great defence from the Sharks. Another try saved thanks to Rahl and Siya.

Sharks under huge pressure here.

I think Sacha is carrying an injury to be honest, he looked tentative to commit.

Manie finally nails one from primary school practice range.

The injury to Fassi looks bad. He could be out for a while. Esterhuizen also limping.

Siya Masuku comes on. Jordan will go to fullback.

Fassi is very eina.

Esterhuizen also off. 

Du Plessis hitting right at Esterhuizen's leg in that cleanout.

Officials checking a dangerous clean out. The try could be chalked off.

No try, Jean Luc du Plessis yellow carded for a dangerous clean out.

Absurd decision. 

Well this has evened the field a bit now.

What a dickhead hit on AE by JLDP.

Proper tappe t shit, he's got the hair down already.

Get on with it!

AE off and suddenly Manie is starting to appear.

Gelant with shenanigans and another kak offload once he got himself into trouble. Stormers had an advantage though.

Stompies get a penalty in range but wisely ask Manie to go for the corner.

Still can't understand why JLdP is still on the pitch. What he did was far worse than Ethan Hooker's trangression.

Stompies score from the maul. 10-10.

Manie misses another one. What is he now, 0/4?

Stormers absolutely demolishes the Sharks with a maul to score.

Libbok!

Still can't understand why JLdP is still on the pitch.

The old World Rugby player safety coin toss. Some days you get heads, some days tails.
