Should be a closer game than what we saw this afternoon.
Eben is playing, so he must be fine again.
Does he really have to play today though. My feeling is that we should be protecting him where we can.
I'm hoping for some Fassi magic.
First scrum of the game...
Lol the Sharks front row is hectic...
Reset...
Scarlets hold solid. Nice first scrum from them
Hooker already stealing one a tackle and feeding the mighty AE
Jayden passing to nobody.
If Williams's really that injured then I hope VD Berg gets more Bok game time this year.
Sharks quality starting to show here with Fassi getting seems through the tackle and AE busting a few shoulders...
Etzebeth a bit powderpuff in the tackle for the third time in a row.
Mavesere knocks on just 5m short.
We have a power failure again so I can't watch.
Good run earlier by the consistently brilliant Esterhuizen!
Sharks with a scrum right under the Scarlets' sticks...
they get it out quickly and run a few phases, drawing the penalty
Sharks are gonna tap 5m out...but they knock on...
Scarlets scrum on their own 5m...
they clear it and the scarlets break...
Fassi sweeps a chip kick
Hooker breaking to relieve some pressure.
Agreed RooiBalls, Esterhuizen might be the best 12 in history.
Jayden fucks yet again.
...but luckily it's an intentional knock by the Scarlets
Sharks maul toothless and gets held up. Scarlets get out of jail.
Clever maul defence by the Scarlets getting a man on the Sharks before the maul was set
Fassi wins it brilliantly in the air but the Sharks just give it back tamely.
Scarlets diving over the ball at the ruck is apparently okay...
Pakie, you finished braaing?
The poor Shark's 6...guy can hold a ball tonight
The outstanding AE makes a very rare mistake and gives up a penalty for holding on.
This ref...lol
Finished braaing long ago Plum, we have a power failure as I mentioned higher up.
Nice OX!!!
Steals one when the Scarlets had some momentum just outside the Sharks 22

"Finished braaing long ago Plum, we have a power failure as I mentioned higher up."
Eish, hope it comes back on soon
Only the pace of Mapimpi saves a try for the Sharks after another AE blunder.
Ja me too. Always on a weekend.
AE fresh-kicks a grubber attempt. Ou Maaik is getting a lot of ammo tonight!
Bongi body slamming the Scarlets man and forcing him to taste some Natal grass
Please god don't ever let Mike see the fluffed kick by AE. We'll never hear the end of it
This Scarlets scrum is doing damn well
Gosh, ugly first half.
5 mins to go and it's still scoreless
Hooker cleaning up nicely after a tasty Scarlets chip kick
no points scored...and it is almost half time.
You haven't missed much, Pakie
Good chase from Fassi and the Sharka have a penalty bang in front. Might as well go for poles here . . . yes . . . Masuku converts and it's 3-0 to the Sharks just before half time.
Fassi is gonna be a massive player for the Boks.
He just chased down a long kick to help win a penalty. And then gets up for a touch of afters.
Jayden stuffs up again but JJ tidies up well.
Drop goal from Costelow. It's 3-3 and half time.
Back to the US PGA. Come on Higgo and Bezuidenhout!
Jayden messes up yet again getting his kick charged down and putting the Sharks under tons of pressure.
the net result a left footed droppie from Sam Costello
3-3
Is it just me or is Jayden Hendrikse getting worse every time we see him!?
