URC semifinal 2 - Bulls vs Sharks

Let's go.

Kolisi running onto the field is probably the fastest you'll see him move all game.

Howzit Paksla

Kolisi taking out Hanekom at the kickoff but De Klerk is away, beats Fassi. Willie kicks across, bounce not favoruring the Bulls. Lineout.

Howzit Plumber's crack.

Poor pass by Papier on Willie's feet, knock.

Sharks away down the left, Willie across in cover. Scrum Sharks 22.

Bulls scrum looking ominous. Sharks on the attack though.

That second scrum...Sharks going backwards

Willie looking like a deer in the headlights . . . again.

Jaden kicks away possession, Willie brainfarts, knocks both ways, Sharks scrum inside the Bulls 22.

Willie putting the Bulls under pressure trying to run it off his try line after a Jayden chip

What a take from Hooker . . . and he scores!

Come on Sharks!

Ethan Fucking HOOKER!!!!

This guy!!!

Brilliant intercept

Sharks scrum destroyed, Bulls get the ball and tries to run it, Hooker intercepts the Vorster pass and scores. Officials checking something.

No, it's called offiside. Still a brilliant piece of skill.

Unlucky he was offside, try cancelled

Sharks scrum in groot kak here

Madness to throw skip passes right in front of your own tryline.

Sharks gets the tap on the Bulls lineout but it goes straight into touch. Bulls cna try again.

Bulls scrum destroying bok front row. Changing of the guard?

Very weak defence from the Sharks and Sebastian de Klerk is over for the try. Bulls 5-0 up.

And the Bulls slice the Sharks wide open

De Klerk finishing off the Embrose break.

Poor defending from AM

Papier snipes through from the lineout and releases De Klerk to score. The boy's come on strongly through the season and he's becoming a weapon.

Great takes by De Klerk and Willie from Fassi in that sequence.

Geez, only twelve minutes gone

Esterhuizen gets Am into a half gap, Mapimpi with a strong handoff on Goosen. Touch.

Apparently AE is the most dominant carrier in the URC this season

Rahl pinged for interference in the lineout, Bulls can clear. Lineout halfway.

Nortje knocks an awkward high kick, Sharks can rumble. They're taken into touch.

Bulls forwards looking cohesive and dominant

Goosen with another one of those awkward shallow high kicks, Bulls can't control it again. They need to go deeper.

Jaden with a pass higher than Esterhuizen's head, he gathers though. Sharks get a penalty, posts. 57m. Easily had the distance but off to the left.

Jaden painfully slow to release and he gets hammered by Goosen but lucklily Goosen was offside. Penalty Sharks. Jordan goes for poles from 60m out but misses. What a dumb decision!

Jordan going for one from between his own 50 and 10...close to 60m but pretty straight...

He draws it.

Score remains 7-0

Now Siya knocks on after some good work from Mapimpi.

Kolisi drops it. Mapimpi carried backwards by Wessels put the Sharks under pressure.

Kwotalisi drops the ball. His only contribution so far was running onto the field jumping and cheering. His best role is on the sidelines clapping

Scrums working well in this game.

Sharks win a turnover but Jaden falls over as he kicks and the Bulls clean up and score.

Seriously, the Sharks would be better off if Jaden was wearing a blue jersey.
