Esterhuizen with the turnover. I would have gone for the three from the penalty.

Fassi scores. Jordan misses. 15-7
Fassi quick tap and score. Sharp
Hope the Glasgow players learned from that what can happen if you stand around waving your arms at the ref instead of focusing on the game.
Jeez that Jordan Hendrikse is something isn't he?
Jordan
Hendrikse making the odd error
Great try Glasgow.
So far at least one dropped ball from a high kick, missed kicks at poles, booting possession dead giving the opposition attacking ball.
Good try Glasgow. Horne again, conversion hits the upright.
15-12
The Sharks must have the best tight 5 in the comp.
Good first half.
Siya
shows his powerful feet kicking a try scoring ball through the ruck….hahaha!
Odd how the Bok front row was slightly bested in the first half
Why is Esterhuizen not pushing in the scrum? It's all his fault.
Andre Esterhuizen is having a good game. He pretty much does what DDA does for the Boks, only better and with more thrust.
Mapimpi is useless at gathering high balls.
Fassi is just brilliant under the high ball.
Fassi on the other hand...
The bounce of the ball . . .
Fassi is brilliant in the air.
Jeez Glasgow lying all over that ruck and the ref just lets it go.
Apologies your feed must be a little faster than mine.
Enterprising stuff!
Esterhuizen knocks on. Unlucky.
Sharks scrum rumb
Jordan kicks a penalty. 18-12
Fassi should probably have released to Am there.
Sharks badly misjudging the kickoff.
Fassi carried back after a good stab through
At last! Glasgow knock on after a sustained spell of possession.
Great defense Sharks.
Etzebeth is 100% committed in this game.
Bad knock on by Esterhuizen this time.
Ox does it again ….blueprint for the November test as Zander collapses again.
Grant Williams is on. I'd bet on him scoring today . . .
. . . and he botches his first kick. The jinx is on!
Terrible box kick Wi
Great clearance kick from Fassi . . . and he nearly catches the quick throw receiver . . .
Not much better from the Glasgow scrummie.
Two classic cases of short box kicks just giving the opponent possession.
Hendrikse's pass misses everyone, Glasgow on attack.
Eben exploding with rage again . . .
Good old handbags. Gives the lads a chance to get their breaths back.
Fantastic strength from Ox . . .
Neck roll from Bongi?
Eben's pass now going nowhere. Sharks will need to be more accurate with their possession.
Great kick from Fassi . . .
Great take from Jordan . . .
Great take in the air from Hendrikse.
Sharks give up a penalty from a good attacking position . . . . hang on . . . TMO . . .
G
lasgow lock looks in trouble here . . .
Not much in that, carrier dipped right into the shoulder.
Just a yellow . . .
Will probably be carded though.
Jordan kicks the resulting
penalty to give the Sharks a bit of breathing space.21-12
Fair enough.
First Jordan then Fassi show great pace but Fassi holds on too long . . .
Great line by Fassi off Hendrikse's break.
Nyakane replaces Ox at loosehead.
Hospital pass tanks another Sharks attack.
Glasgow botch the kick.
Grant Williams scores an excellent try. The jinx didn't work.
I’d have Williams over Hendrikse any day.
The jinx has failed
I don't think there will be too much debate about MOtM today but one of the Sharks unsung heroes in this game was Emmanuel Tshituka. But Fassi gets my vote.
Siya Masuku makes a late appearance . . .
Fassi named MotM. The jinx is taking a beating today.
Could it be an omen?
Brilliant improvisation from Fassi . . .
Glasgow get a consolation try at the end.
Thanks Moffie and Pakie, I enjoyed your comments.
Oh wow! Best try of the day comes at the death from Glasgow. Thank goodness the Sharks had a buffer!
And the Snarks give them a bonus point...or 2...?
Fabulous try by Glasgow to finish…enjoyable game.
Cheers Rooinek. Planetary shifting going on with all the failed jinxes, who knows what might happen next. My streams were janky so I only saw about half of the action.
Overall, a good game. Glasgow is a classy outfit and pushed the game close.
The Shark's one-on-one tackles allowed large gaps to appear in their defence- even during periods when they had the upper hand.
Had the game continued, Glasgow would have probably won .

Yes, my favorite streaming site doesn't seem to work anymore...but DSTV se dinges...
