Just want no injuries and a better performance…come on boys!!!!
So what happens if the sharks win today? Who wins the triseries then? Every team will have won one game each?
Lions win the trophy if the Sharks win – unless we beat the Stormers by 47 points
@robdylan (Comment 3) :
i don’twant to bring the team down but do you really think that we can win by so much points 😕
and that on their field
@chaz (Comment 4) : Its not important so why worry about that? Just hope we can win
@Ben (Comment 5) :
true but what will happen if we by chance get those points
do we get the trophy 😕
@chaz (Comment 4) : I don’t care if we win at all… this trophy means nothing.
@chaz (Comment 6) : okay what???
Charlie, wpw & Big Fish in da house !!!
Is this on the interweb somewhere?
Go Sharks by 15 😈
Matt Pearce Sharks getting their traditional Newlands welcome
Brokeback Table Mountaineers booing…
No class. Like Aussies they are.
Players are on the field
Jannie dup went down with flu last night, so the Sharks don’t have a prop on the bench.
@robdylan (Comment 7) : Shhh. Neo Africa might hear you. 😛
Van Aswegen misses a drop attempt
bloody shocking… Supersport site has a channel screw up so they’re showing football on what should be the rugby feed
Oom Stef looks good with the extra upperbody weight
@robdylan (Comment 7) :
ok i get it, but it would be great
@Ben (Comment 8) : meaning
Stormers penalty… Over!
3 – 0
5min
well i like the white jerseys we are playing in
listening to live commentary on 2oceansvibe.co.za…
Try Bosman!
Bosman try!
3 – 7 Sharks
9min
my commentary is only about 3 minutes behind the play… Cape Town thing 🙂
Pat nails the kick 🙂
Stormers jerseys can like to be laaaaaank kak.
Biz on for Burden… Ankle injury or something
Has Habana not retired yet? 😕
Burden’s done an ankle. Wonderful.
Sharks penalty…. Lambie aims… Miss
3 – 7
15min
Burden off injured… man, reckon we’re gonna end with uncontested scrums
Not exactly scintillating, is this?
Stormers queens hand bags.
@klempie (Comment 35) : Take that back. Sharks looking hot now! 😎
that was a lovely passage of play… Bosman looks superb!
Steenkamp sent off for not releasing for the umpteenth time.
Yellow for De Kock Steenkamp… Repeat infringements
10-3 Sharks as Pat strokes over a penalty.
De Kock Steenkamp yellow carded
Lambie converts
3 – 10
@klempie (Comment 38) : Lambo puts it over.
Stormers 3 – 10 Sharks
20 mins.
Sheesh. Is Hofmann a forward?? 😈
great scrum Sharks!
Not sure if missed it in the commentary or the stream above, why are the Stomers wearing their away kit? Is this the Sharks jersey for the Super 15? doesn’t look like it
McLeod you biscuit!
great kick Charlie!
brilliant kick by Mcleod
@Starvekos (Comment 45) : No it’s just for this series.
@Starvekos (Comment 45) :
no its nearlly the same but to me it looks like it has grey or light blue in it 😉
Stormers lining up a shot… Sharks penalised for side entry
kick is missed
eeeaaaahhhhhhhh 🙂
From what I’ve seen, van Aswegen is a destitute man’s Pat Lambie.
GGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
oh my no not a fight
so nearly a try for Charl… knocked over the line
Charl loses it forward in the in goal area in the tackle.
whatever Plumtree said, worked!
Habana did well in the air there
nice tackle from Bresler to save a try
what a kick STEF!
hands are still a wee bit rusty, but this is not looking bad at all for so early in the season
Habana looking exactly like the 2010 version… can’t catch a cold!
card for Paul Bosch – clear late tackle on Odders
@robdylan (Comment 62) : what are you watching on?
Another yellow…. Paul Bosch
@KSA Shark © (Comment 65) : supersport site via SA proxy 🙂 Shhhh
@robdylan (Comment 62) : I agree, not to shabby at all
Pat misses the penalty
Still 10 – 3?
that’s half time.
Sharks lead 10-3 and have actually done enough.
No point in caning the first side anymore – send on the subs
Beast saves Bresler from falling on his head, couldve been a bad accident.
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 72) : that was fantastic… looked like a team gymnastics recital 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 71) : I presume they are looking better than in the Lions game?
Pat needs to work on his kicking but not a massive concern! Would like to see alberts carrieng the ball up a wee bit more.
@robdylan (Comment 73) : Bloody classic hope he buys beast a beer
@Ben (Comment 75) : lil bit worryin his kickin though…bosman can kick why not try him…
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 74) : I didn’t see that game, but they are looking very composed today.
Meyer Bosman has had some lovely touches at 12. And Bresler is really getting stuck in.
Mostert is a bloody machine!
@shaniboi (Comment 77) : Cause there is still hope for lambie to learn to kick. Bosman is a lost cause! 😉
@shaniboi (Comment 77) : Bosman is a very sometimes kicker, though…. tends to take the monster shots
really hope we see changes now
Thinking of it we are very blessed in the kicking department! 10 12 and 13 kick very well out of hand
@robdylan (Comment 78) : And the fans breathe easy again. The post Lions gloom has been lifted.
Penalty Sharks
Pat slots it…13-3
The fact that there hasn’t been any unforced changes suggests that plum really wants to win this game!
Mosterd down 😕
Mostert off with a cut to the face. Vleis on
Beast off, Keegan on!
van Aswegen not having a great day
uncontested scrums now, of course
Engelbrecht looking STRONG
@robdylan (Comment 91) : Time for changes, cant afford any more injuries. The sharks have got all they need out of this game now.
damn – Keegan pinged for side entry after an intersting backline move from the Sharks
Where’s Adongo?
Vleis off – Mossie back on
JLP now on for Pat
and he makes a good clearance from his first penalty
ah – but that’s twice that Pottie’s hands have let him down now
@klempie (Comment 95) : I’m not sure what’s going on… Vleis has gone off, but I don’t see Mostert back on
Charlie should get a chance now
Beast back on. Vleis also back on
Jannie being interviewed… doesn’t sound good. Flu
good raking touchfinder from JLP
@robdylan (Comment 103) : So not an injury worry then…
jeez, but this Johan Sadie is something else!
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 105) : no
Sharks successfully defend a second 5m lineout
flip, but Bresler is quick
@robdylan (Comment 100) : Is Adongo Nigerian?
Biz at 3 and Bresler at 2
Sharks now have Bis and Beat at prop, Bresler at hooker, Alberts and Vleis at lock… Keegan, JB and Hoff at loose forward
@klempie (Comment 110) : Kenian
at the bulls game. Pumas poor, score is 19-0 to the bulls. Fourie Du Preez on fire, its as if he never stop playing. Good news for the boks then.
@klempie (Comment 110) : Kenyan
@robdylan (Comment 112) : Are there any serious injury concerns, or are those just precautionary adjustments?
van Stadevich is back on… Botes off
at the bulls game. Pumas poor, score is 26-0 to the bulls. Fourie Du Preez on fire, its as if he never stop playing. Good news for the boks then.
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 116) : nothing looks serious, although Mostert might be a bit of a worry… just what we need, another lock down!
make that 26-0
I must say, these Sharks jerseys aint bad either
I think Swannie and Adi are about to come on
@robdylan (Comment 119) : Indeed. Time to go shopping for 4s and 5s
@G West (Comment 120) : Losing to another lowly team wouldve been great for their confidence 😈
Bosman and Stef have just gone off
@robdylan (Comment 122) : If swannie comes on at 3 does that mean contested scrums again?
Jlp makes it 16-3
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 126) : LOL….but the scrums are contested again since van sTaden came back on 🙂
I hope Charlie can explain that final knock-on by Adi with the try line beckoning…
😛
lovely break by Swannie sets up Odwa, then Lwazi… Adi knocks on to avoid scoring the try 🙁
@robdylan (Comment 128) : Oh right, Im losing track of all the changes. How much time to go?
Bjorn still a try machine, 33-0. Would have been awesome if it was the pumas leading thou. Haha.
@klempie (Comment 129) : that was poor… should have been a try
@robdylan (Comment 130) : I should insult swannie more often it has a good effect. Lets try this.. “Adi sucks and should retire”.
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 131) : 10mins
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 134) : … or Adi Rose
Watts try!
Elgar Watts scores for the Stormers
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 135) : Thanks. Lets wrap this one up in style..
[email protected] this is not good the score is kreepy up from the Stormers
@robdylan (Comment 138) : Oh damn.
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 134) : it didn’t work… he missed a tackle right after you said it 🙁
16-10 Sharks
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 139) :
hi gee where have you been
Charge down by Bresler
Adonga on
Adongo is HUMONGOUS! 😯
@robdylan (Comment 142) : Wheres Charlie, first a missed try, then a try the other way. Thats a 14 point swing. He has some explaining to do regarding his idol!
and now another knock from Adi after Bis secured a lovely steal….
CHARLIE!!! 🙂
come on Sharks we need a try
@chaz (Comment 144) : Dude, good question… here now though 🙂 whats up with you?
Adongo sent off. Nice start. 🙄
Adonga shows off more abs than skill and gets a yellow
ah bugger – Dan has just been carded!
@robdylan (Comment 149) : WTF is he under contract by the stormers this year???
We’re gonna lose.
what is adi doing!!!
@klempie (Comment 156) : At least it aint 41 – 10, but sad to throw away a 13 point lead.
@klempie (Comment 156) : Told ya.
Overall a good performance by the Sharks but our 2nd stringers need to pull up their socks.
@G West (Comment 157) : Now what???
another Stormers try… they’re gonna win this game!
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 151) :
i’m here and there got to plan my sons wedding so i’m not so much on SW but do try as much as i can 🙂
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 160) : We lose??
yup – try scored by Elstedt
@klempie (Comment 156) : keep up that optimism of yours.
[email protected] [email protected] S1!#t 👿
Damn, WP win the match and more importantly deny Mitch a well deserved trophy.
1 min left and it is official.
Stormers lead 17-16… about 2 mins left
Adi hasnt played a lot of rugby for a while now, maybe he should play a bit of Vodacom Cup first.
oh well i think we have alot of home work to do it can’t carry on like this 🙁
I reckon that’s all over red rover… not that the score matters.
But habana now carded and the Sharks have a penalty
@robdylan (Comment 172) : Kickable??
Thanks for nothing Mr Price Sharks.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 166) :
* realism
my word… Mostert is black and blue! His face looks awful
Later crackers.
that was a lovely display by the Sharks and I reckon if we’d had a few more options in reserve, we could have held on
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 164) : That’s not the point, we’ve improved since last week and we have some injuries to 1st choice players. Lets try and stay positive 🙂
Not a win but pretty happy with the performance though!
@RL (Comment 174) :
Dude if there was one spot left in a play-oof and you guys had a chance of making it if the Sharks lost a game, they would play out of their skins to ensure you DON’T make it. 😛
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 179) : We also know who our first choice 13 should be now!
@RL (Comment 168) : just like the lions only boost in the last min 😳 😉
but congrats
will see you’s somewhere between here and there in the S15 and don’t think for one moment we are going with no kick our boots will be up and ready 🙂
oh well bit dissapointing 2 lose but souncds like it was a good hit out hopefully no serious injuries
Congratulations Stormers. Good come back. Your subs breathed urgency while ours lacked the intensity of our starting line up.
@RL (Comment 174) : 👿 👿 👿
Gutted over that result….never understand the need to sub your captain unless he is injured! The stormers having an almost completely different team finishing than the one that started..did help them with fresh legs is this engery sapping heat. It was obvious that the Wp’ers went into that game to afront in the physical side of things…
JLP not better than Lambie…
Oh…Habana has turned into the biggest cry baby ever…maybe if he changed his prima donna behaviour he would start performing better.
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 170) :
i don’t think he is going to lv you after this comment 🙂
@Just a Fan (Comment 187) : Relax just a friendly! Would you rather that swannie or adi not get a run at all? Hell adi looks rusty!
@chaz (Comment 189) : Yeah – buts its true….way too slow
@Just a Fan (Comment 191) : Well, if he dropped the ball with an open tryline, missed a tackle leading up to the Stormers first try, then knocked the ball on after a sharks steal to give province the ball back in the final minutes… he should be playing Vodacom cup, preferably for the Pumas.
anyone know if there will be highlights available somewhere? Maybe on supersport?
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 192) : your point being
@Just a Fan (Comment 194) : I thought I made my point pretty clear… 😉
The experiment Plum tried with Odwa did not go to badly and Stef really looks huge.
@Danman110 (Comment 196) : Thought Odwa did well at FB….Stef is monumental. Who was the captain when he went off?
I see JC on keo has given the game a glowing review…
@Just a Fan (Comment 187) : relax… it’s a warmup!
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 198) : those okes are all sodding retarded. I’m just ignoring them.
Meyer Bosman also made himself count…good stuff. Charl and Lambie defintely make a good pair.
@RL (Comment 174) : call them that again and I will ban you.
The Sharks have NOT sold the naming rights to the team.
@robdylan (Comment 199) : yes i know…but i live Cape Town, and the WP supporters are going to behave like the have won a world cup…. 🙁
@robdylan (Comment 200) : Indeed. They also have a teeny weeny Cape bias. JCs probably peeved his boyfriend’s team didnt crush the sharks like the lions did. Hes probably not getting laid tonight.. poor lad.
Wow! I can’t believe how much emphasis was placed on winning this game. I’d rather lose the battle and win the war which starts in a couple of weeks time.
I thought Charl and Lwazi were in top form already. Now we just need to get rid of those silly kicks, iron out the handling errors and start to gel as a side, so we can put ourselves in a good position to have schweet rewarding season.
@Just a Fan (Comment 197) : I believe it was Keegan but there where so many subs made I think even the players did not know.
@Just a Fan (Comment 203) :
don’t we all when we win 😳
one more thing who are you going to scream for the Snoils or Sharks when FS become a snoil 😕
@Pablo Dinero (Comment 204) : 😆 😆 😆
@chaz (Comment 207) : 😯 😯 I am still hoping that’s never going to happen
Scotland score…..if they win it will mess with my picks….but I gotta cheer for them
@Just a Fan (Comment 197) : The games momentum defnetly swung when Stef left the field, that’s why I feel very strongly about keeping the cap on as long as possible,and let’s face it Stef is possibly the fittest player on the field.
@Danman110 (Comment 211) : Couldn’t agree more…it’s a “tactic” Snor uses too and it always puts the Bokke back ten steps…
@Just a Fan (Comment 212) : I just hope Plum is not told to play Smity at thigh head because op div’s plans for the WC it might end in disaster for the Sharks as well as the Boks.
Everybody have the right of their own opinion, I do respect it most hearted, but also remember to give credit in the near future when it’s due 😉
@Charlie (Comment 214) :
