There’s still a little doubt as to whether this (hopefully) one-sided affair will be televised at all.
Will the Sharks bounce back after a really bad performance last weekend that saw them lose at home to Western Province?
Or will Boland find a way to spoil and frustrate the visitors, perhaps even enough to sneak an unlikely win?
Boland Cavaliers: 15 Llewellyn Adonis, 14 Deon Scholtz, 13 PJ Vermeulen, 12 Hein Myburgh, 11 Cornal Hendricks/Alvin Hugo, 10 Elgar Watts, 9 Charlie King, 8 Zandré Jordaan, 7 Carel Hoffman, 6 Wendal Wehr, 5 Rito Hlungwane, 4 George Earl, 3 Jané du Toit, 2 Clemen Lewis (captain), 1 Janro van Niekerk.
Replacements: 16 Harry Vermaas, 17 Johan Roets, 18 Nico Esterhuyse, 19 An other, 20 Denzil Willemse, 21 Ernie Kruger, 22 Justin Peach.
The Sharks: 15 Stefan Terblanche (captain), 14 Chris Jordaan, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Riaan Swanepoel, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Juan Hernandez, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel, 7 Jean Deysel, 6 Jacques Botes, 5 Albert van den Berg, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Patric Cilliers, 2 Craig Burden, 1 Deon Carstens.
Replacements: 16 Skipper Badenhorst, 17 Melusi Mthethwa, 18 Alistair Hargreaves, 19 Michael Rhodes, 20 Ross Cronjé, 21 Monty Dumond, 22 Andries Strauss.
Referee: Peter Allen (Scotland)
Assistant referees: Matt Kemp, Eugenia Daniels
I seriously doubt that Boland will win, there question I think is whether or not we get a bonus point out of this.
A bonus point will should put us back on top – thinking that the Bull – WP will be very close with no one scoring 4 tries.
But I guess that next week the roles will be reversed.
I have a 33 points diffs for a Sharks win!
They will do it!!
Go Eugenia!! Make us fairer sex proud and show them how it’s done!!

Rodger is no more a legal supporters club… he had his lisence revoked , and us in PTA have the legal lisence through the union and is going brilliantly
growing fast in the heart of bulls country…. here is the web site in fact http://www.sharkspretoria.co.za
the president of the club is wynand claasens and on the commitee is johan ackermann both x sharks players and boks

@rekinek (Comment 35) :

no doubt there will be a mass suport from sharks supporters at the bulls game
@sharks_lover (Comment 39) :
What facts…I was complimenting the Pretoria club on this achievement! Thus saying that we all know the real reason behind the not so succesful club…
(I heard about that..
)
@Prof. Ice Babe(Super Girl) (Comment 40) : oh and rodger and his group will not be allowed to go to the after match function
@Prof. Ice Babe(Super Girl) (Comment 40) : thats no surprise considering how timid chess is, i’ll sleep or drink aswell
@Prof. Ice Babe(Super Girl) (Comment 42) :

.
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 38) :

Guys the game has kicked off and I have been on Sharks Rugby, and there are no up dates
Or have I caught the wrong end of the stick again, it did start at 15:00 didn’t it?
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 53) : nope 15.30
@sharks_lover (Comment 41) : just teasing. I am sure that decent number from Joburg will come as well.
I won’t be able to make it
@sharks_lover (Comment 54) : Ahh thank you! Helps to read properly!
@rekinek (Comment 55) : well from the jhb club i know the last i heard is 149 odd thats comming to the game , remember these are just from the club
99.9% of supporters dont belong to a club, so there will be far more
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 53) : nope. 15h30… Looks like it was changed at the last minute.
@sharks_lover (Comment 52) : will you ask the chairman if he ever got my email?
Go sharks lets give the WP B-team a real thrashing!!
@rekinek (Comment 55) :
I wish we could…if I can get babysitters perhaps…or I can always take the kids with…but then Loftus will NEVER be the same again!!
@robdylan (Comment 58) : you talk about paul??
@Prof. Ice Babe(Super Girl) (Comment 60) :

@sharks_lover (Comment 66) : ja, that’s where I e-mailed him
@McLovin (Comment 67) : nada-zilch
Hi

@robdylan (Comment 65) : this is another email addie for him
andriess@worldonline.co.za`
sounds like we’re playing stupid rugby and trying to beat ourselves…
still no score
swannepoel just got back on the field with bandage around his head
@StretchB (Comment 70) : hey Stretch. Welcome to the site. I’m trying to find out myself
GO SHAAAAAARKS
first 11 min many handling errors
Cant get hold of my son or anyone who could tell me. Damn shame that they didn’t televise it.
15 min try sharks ,, keegan daniel after a lineout near the boland line
try number 1 to Keegan
Keegan jou doring!!
try for sharks
@StretchB (Comment 77) : yeah, I also sms’ed him… Michael hasn’t come back to me either.
20 – 57 to sharks U21 -
Sharks U21’s
Half time score was 20 – 12 in Boland’s favour
Full time score is 20 – 57 in Sharks favour.
The Comeback Kids !!
try 2 – Burden intercepts
@StretchB (Comment 84) : nice one… guess they only got onto the field at halftime
Got a gap into Anton’s heavily engaged phone….
Cheers everybody !!!
Boland are on attack as they swing the ball through the line just outside The Sharks 22, but a long, skip pass is well-read by hooker Craig Burden who intercepts and outsprints the defender to score under the posts, Hernandez has no trouble adding the two.
second try to the sharks – craig burden
I think rory will have lots of competition to this position
I wish they throw everything at the Little Bulls next week at Loftus
@StretchB (Comment 90) : yeah – they will kill them. They let them off the hook at Kings Park… time to get revenge at Loftus
@StretchB (Comment 87) : yeah – I also just got an sms from him
2 more tries please.
12-3 at half time
Bolands PK : 3-12
it should at least have been 3-21
The Sharks fullback makes a lovely break down the middle, sells a dummy and gets to within 15m before needing support. He finds Jacques Botes who then throws a long pass, but the ball is knocked on and an earlier infringement sees Deon Scholtz sinbinned. The Sharks take the scrum and Steven Sykes and Keegan Daniel are both held up short in the ensuing attack, but Jacques Botes gets the ball and dives over, with Hernandez converting.
it seems like try no 3 in minute 39 – converted
@rekinek (Comment 99) : too slow reki
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 96) : almost
@sharks_lover (Comment 100) : gimmi break – need to work as well
at least i am not calling half time 10min before
jean deysel replaced by micheal rhodes
shit i hope he aint got a serious injury
@rekinek (Comment 101) : @rekinek (Comment 102) :
@rekinek (Comment 102) :
Job 75% done.
@sharks_lover (Comment 103) : maybe they trying to make the game more level
tik tik tik
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 108) : tickets!!!
just noticed that we not only have woman but scottish ref as well
@rekinek (Comment 107) :
@rekinek (Comment 110) : drag queen perhaps using his alter egos name
These blasted Sharks need to go back to “Rugby 101″ knocking on again!
Why was Deysel off? is he still off, help someone!
I was cheering for WP anyway, but now I might even wear a hooped shirt, and I hate hooped shirts!
very slow game it seems and of course so many handling errors
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 113) : they make people look fat
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 109) : i am just thinking where do you want to catch this plain from – Vereeniging – and to where – OR Tambo to OR Tambo
driving
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 112) : that would explain lack of tv coverage
@rekinek (Comment 115) :
i want game tickets not plane tickets 
will be driving 
Both teams are searching for what appears to be elusive tries in the second half, the breakdown area a bit of a mess. Boland have conceded another penalty for an infringement at the ruck and from 35m out, Terblanche kicks to touch again.
also sharks have had many many penalties , but none taken at posts
the score could have been somewhat higher
SS have finally got my goat! What I pay R600 (or so, actually hubby pays so not sure on exact amount) I don’t know, to watch Chelsea TV! What has that got to do with me in SA? While there is the CC on
And then they could have been less greedy and sold the rights to the “small games” to SABC that way even guys that cannot afford paying for a TV full of repeats and useless programmes could watch rugby 
come on Sharks
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 117) : should have said so
The Sharks drive all the way to the line following the lineout but don’t get over, however penalty advantage hasn’t accrued and The Sharks opt for the lineout again. The ball is recycled through upteen phases and spun across the face of the tryline for a good 2 minutes but the opportunity fails to be converted.
This is starting to sound like our S14 2009 all over again
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 120) : i agree, now i have to trust in other people to get the updates
his is typical of how the game is going
The Sharks drive all the way to the line following the lineout but don’t get over, however penalty advantage hasn’t accrued and The Sharks opt for the lineout again. The ball is recycled through upteen phases and spun across the face of the tryline for a good 2 minutes but the opportunity fails to be converted.

frustrated commentator ?
this
Sharks should have had 6 tries by now
Ok
first place to Sharksmaid
second to sharks_lover
I am still in medal position
TrYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Now we just have to win
The Sharks scrum is too strong, forcing the penalty and once more, they kick to touch, win the lineout and look to set up a tryscoring move. This time the forwards drive it up, the maul stops then collapses, is reformed and then finally the referee lifts his arm to signal the try.
finally ! BP try
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 123) : @sharks_lover (Comment 125) : @rekinek (Comment 126) : copy and paste and u get ‘accrued’ instead of occured
Blast I have to go!!! Hope the Sharks will come good now that the pressure of 4th try is gone!
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 130) : hey sweety
uhm we still got 3 tries to score 
Yay!! Now 4 more, or a few more, i need a 33 point difference
Anyway bey till Monday! Cheers
@Sharksmad – The Blog’s Dudette (Comment 137) : Enjoy
The Boland flank is receiving medical attention as the game grinds to a halt with Jean Deysel moments earlier having gone on one of his trademark bullocking runs, quite possibly causing the damage as he hammered into, over and through the hapless defenders.
ok on half time they said deysel was replaced by rhodes
ok, so Deysel isnt hurt
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 140) : seems so
guess micheal got to excited when typig lol
The action is on again as Carel Hoffman has been stretchered off the field. The Sharks are back on attack with a lovely flowing movement down the near touchline that began with a great break from Riaan Swanepoel before the ball is shifted across the field with Lwazi Mvovo showing too much pace and scoring in the corner. Hernandez converts.
What is the latest score please
31-3
suddenly 33 seems to small a margin
Elapsed Time: 67 mins
Skipper Badenhorst and Alistair Hargreaves have been on for a few minutes and now Pat Cilliers limps off having taken a knock with Melusi Mthethwa replacing him. Michael Rhodes is on for a second spell, this time in Keegan Daniel’s place.
@sharks_lover (Comment 144) : with about 12mins remaining
36-3 as botes scores his second after outsprinting the bolanders for 70 meters
then drop kicks to convert and misses 
@sharks_lover (Comment 144) :
Thanks
there is ice’s points diffs of 33 points
not sure that will stick though
@Ollie (Comment 149) : ur vey welcome mate
@sharks_lover (Comment 150) : and mine
Lwazi Mvovo is twice involved in possible tries but Chris Jordaan is hauled down just short as is Mvovo on the other side in two great attacking moments within a minute of each other.
i have said long ago , this mvovo is gonna be a very good player
@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 152) :
ok the final or fulltime whistle can blow now
For the second time in the game alovely cross kick from Hernandez finds it’s intended mark as he kicks 30m down the throat of Monty Dumond who dives over and then looks to convert, the ball striking the upright.
41-3
fulltime please, i can still get a margin point
Sounds like hernandez is starting to find his feet, can’t wait for him and rory to start clicking together
@mbayshark (Comment 159) : kockett doesnt understand the meaning of the word ‘together’
48-3With the hooter having sounded, it’s left to play out the game before the ball is dead. Boland are searching for the try and earn a penalty on attack 30m out. Boland manage to get to within millimetres of the tryline before conceding a penalty for holding on. The Sharks opt to keep playing even though time is up and the ball changes hands before Jean Deysel makes a break, offloads to Jacques Botes in the tackle and his fellow flank is over for his hat-trick, Riaan Swanepoel converting and that’s the game!
Fulltime
Boland 3-48 Sharks
J.Botes scores a hatrick of tries and spoils my margin point.
Well done Sharks, now repeat this try scoring again next week.
These Bolanders are useless!!
Can’t even beat the overrated Sharks!!
Kockett’s eyes are too close together, affects his peripheral vision. So much so that he can’t always see where the other players are.
@wpw (Comment 163) : u know that your precious WP WONT win the coveted trophy this year, right
@wpw (Comment 163) : WP won’t get close to the final!!!

good result, but it seems the goalkicking was terrible
@Prof. Ice Babe(Super Girl) (Comment 210) :
Thanks Superchick!
important win for the kwas. Back in 2nd and right back in the competition now.
@robdylan (Comment 214) : Just shows how important momentum is sport, both in respect of winning and losing. When you’re on a losing run, it’s very difficult to get out of that spiral. Griqua’s been losing lately and only just managed to scrape past the Leopards!
