The Blues welcome the Brumbies to Auckland.
I’m not sure how much of a welcome it will be though. The Blues will be happy to have Isaia Toeava back in the side but they will NOT be happy whit where they are on the log. Game in hand or not!
The Brumbies have lost Stirling Mortlock. Tyrone Smith me well be a well qualified replacement, but he ain’t no Mortlock.
One of OUR very best is out there to help the Kiwis control the game today. 🙁

@KSA Shark © (Comment 32) : I like the eggs to be hard, bacon not crispy and whole wheat toast with genuine butter. And a big old mug of coffee please, make it a take-away. 😀
@sharks_lover (Comment 33) : Happy happy boyeeeeeeeeeee, I wonder when he will be here if the Sharks succeed, he might actually be the FH after the Sharks return from tour. Is he still injured though, or is he fine?
Ooooh I`m worried. Made a big call here. Went with the Brumbies!!
RUN WALLABY RUN!!! 😯

@FireTheLooser (Comment 36) : still injured but not for too much longer . not a leg injury though , was his shoulder
Try Rock-a-coco
10-10
@sharks_lover (Comment 41) : So there’s a good chance he’ll be in the home leg of the Sharks S14 then….about time.
@FireTheLooser (Comment 44) : I thought Butch was written off for the year?
what happened to McLoving?
@JarsonX (Comment 39) :
Small bodies, big head and ears.
@Original Pierre (Comment 45) : Rumor has it that the Sharks are in advanced talks with Bath to get him back and he’s just about recovered from his injury……I hope the rumors are true.
@FireTheLooser (Comment 46) : ❓
He has been around. Was here yesterday.
@FireTheLooser (Comment 44) : no i dont think a good chance of him playing super 14
@KSA Shark © (Comment 49) : Oh alright, I’m used to him slugging it out by himself on these threads giving score updates.
I swear, debating with some of the okes on Voldy is like pulling ones wisdom teeth!! 🙄 👿
@sharks_lover (Comment 50) : Aah, me doing the math too soon again.
I wonder whom the Sharks will play at FH on the home leg of the S14, seeing as (last I heard) Goode is only on loan for the overseas part for the Sharks.
@Original Pierre (Comment 45) : if ur in durban get the mercury lol
big photo on front page and article on back sports page
