It’s been a long season, culminating in this greatest of occasions – a home Currie Cup Final for the Sharks!
Congratulations to every single one involved in Sharks rugby, from the CEO, coaches and players, right down to the guys who sweep the stadium after each game. This is a great day for Durban and the Sharks and a great day for each and every one of the fans as well.
Kick-off is at 17h30 today, which is still a good few hours away. What are the faithful going to be doing to pass the time (and settle the nerves!) until kick-off arrives? I’m going to be putting on my vintage 1994-era Natal rugby jersey and then going to a toy shop with my kids. Also need to get the car cleaned, so that might be a reasonable way to take my mind off things… NOT! Thoughts, permutations, calculations and angles will be running through my mind all day.
Come on, Sharks! Let’s do the business today and ensure that the Currie Cup stays in Durban for the next year.
Sharks Forever!

I’m in my sharks shirt but sadly am stuck at work till 18:00…will probably close the shop 10 to 15 min earlier and race to the closest bar and support the boys..Just looking at all the black and white all around brings a smile to my face,even in pretoria the sharks supporters are representing…and trust me we’re plenty
@juba_fan (Comment 1) : work till 6? Ah man, that’s harsh. What shop do you run?
I have to sit through a baby shower. I’m wearing my black, proudly.

My nerves are shot! In my sharks top at a kiddies party…going to WP friends to watch the game. Hubby doing the World of beer tour then going to Monte for the game…contemplating staying at home and watch the game on my own as my little one is a bit coughy…the hours waiting this avie is gonna KILL me!
I’m at work until 14:30 SA time. Will ride for about an hour when I get home and then settle in to watch the game afterwards.

Dammit carter can kick a ball
Blacks lead 17-12 at half time.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 12) : thats good you get to watch the game now.
Aus goal kicking quite shocking.
Their wheels coming off.
@McLovin (Comment 18) : How many times have we seen them start well and build up a lead only to give it away?
@McLovin (Comment 14) : Can I tell you something?
11 points missed in kicks ..Can’t beat the ABs like that.
@lostfish (Comment 10) :
😳
@Ben (Comment 20) : Do tell. 🙂
@McLovin (Comment 23) : SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@wpw (Comment 4) : Geez, always some spoilsport.
@Ben :
Aus kicking at goal absolutely shocking. 😯
@McLovin (Comment 26) : Sharks 28 wp 20
Hehehe all my neighbours and I are wearing sharks gear wavn our flags,this guy drove by and shouted province!hehehe his car broke down before the turn we aint helping him lmao!!!
I ran some errands from 9am this morning – not my normal Saturday wake-up time.
The reason? The rest of the day is chillin’ like a villain, enjoyin’ that winnin’ feelin’.
Wpw coming by later, and I watch the game with him while braaing in my Sharks jersey.

Aus heading for their 11th loss in a row to NZ. 🙄
so close …. Dammit my Superbru ….

Drama in the final
TRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aussie
Aus score. Conversion to win the match.
Boks winning record is safe.
What a finish. 😎
Woohoo
What a game !
A sign of things to come Im sure.
It’s been a long time>>>I’ll have my life back sometime next week…just had to come on and say:
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHARKS!!!!!
Great stuff from Aus.
@McLovin (Comment 38) :
Hahaha that and bru were the reason I jumped out of my chair when they scored 😆
Aus win 26-24
My nerves, and there’s still the Final to come. 😐
GEEEEEEZ what a game! Well done wallabies!
Men at Work playing 😛
I guess Robbie Deans will sleep well tonight.
@McLovin (Comment 47) : Robbie Fleck less so… 😎
@klempie (Comment 48) : True, Fleckie loves to party. 😉
@McLovin (Comment 49) : Nice comeback. 😛
@Ben (Comment 45) : Donald is a complete plonker. He crumbles under pressure. Colin Slade should have been picked to go on tour instead of Donald.
Stupid Donald cost me a winning start on Superbru too.
Ek se maar niks nie!
Now if only I can fit into this darn WP jersey. Damn thing must have shrunk. 🙄
@wpw (Comment 52) :
How do I organise to get a signature from Lambie for my daughter?
@lostfish (Comment 51) : Yeah my superbru is stuffed already and that is the 1st game 🙁
@wpw (Comment 52) :
I told you, you actually need to switch the treadmill in the gym ON!! 😆
@maddmatt (Comment 54) : stalking is an option. 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 55) :
How did my man Dan play?? 😀
@KSA Shark © (Comment 55) : I don’t understand why they persist with Donald when he has shown time and time again that he cracks under pressure. Colin Slade should have gone instead.
@Queen Shark Ice Angel (Comment 58) : Your man Dan was in fine form.
@wpw (Comment 52) : You could always ask Rickie for one of his, but that may be a little loose on you.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 61) :
Sure about that?? 😆
@lostfish (Comment 60) : 😀
@Queen Shark Ice Angel (Comment 58) : I dunno I’m at work. 🙁
@KSA Shark © (Comment 64) : kazaa… you ok to do match thread? Or want me to?
Hahaha
Julle bliksems!! 😉
@robdylan (Comment 65) : won’t be able to get one up before 3:30pm SA time. If you okay with that then I’ll do it when I get home.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 67) : maybe better if I do it then… will get one up a bit earlier than that
@robdylan (Comment 68) : cool
so who else is here? Come on guys – say hi.
What an amazing day for Sharks rugby
There is 61 users and everyone is quiet!! 😥
What a beautiful today to win a Currie Cup..
Stadium is looking fantastic and the weather is fine!!

DAMNIT!! 👿
@klempie (Comment 74) : you also thinking rain might play into our hands?
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 72) : well, someone’s going to… let’s hope it’s the Sharks!
@robdylan (Comment 75) : Indeed. 👿
@McLovin (Comment 38) : Boks don’t hold the winning record. Most Test wins on the trot is 19 by Lithuania. You better believe it.
@robdylan (Comment 75) :
Rain will defintly play into our hands..
And Durban weather has been funny of late, with 4 seasons in one day. I did the swallows out in full force earlier, dont rule out rain yet..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 79) : well then, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain! 🙂
