Go SHARKS. You can do it, we believe ….
At last our sides meet…
Where can you watch this in the UK? 😯
I wonder who uli’s going to support. 🙄
Anybody have a streaming link, since the Germans are playing admire-my-hair at Wembley a red button option is apparently not possible.
@rhineshark (Comment 4) : Charl? I’m just kidding Uli
Alberts gona run over Slegman

@SeanyJMc (Comment 6) :
@rhineshark (Comment 9) : Thanks.
Steyn starts things
Two knocks already
good scrum beast and co.
Penalty sharks
I believe.
Mcloed knocks
alot of knocks
Why didn’t these guys show this urgency the entire year?
PsdT knocks. Sharks looking better
Sharks owning the scrums. Beast looking fresh
Coetzee holding a deffender back. Bulls escape
3 – 6
Kegan u dumb twat. Bring Kanko back
Alberts jou doring!!
Lambie looks average
jeez, so many big names are just plain missing today! Where’s Keegan, where’s Alberts?
If Im not mistaken….this time last year Kankowski was dominating the Bulls lineouts..correct??
Yeah F*** you plum…Keegan is still costing us points with headless penalties. The ref doesnt have to tell you when you are allowed to go for the ball….
What I can gather from the slideshow I’m watching is that we are dominating the scrums, losing the lineouts and not having a clue about all the rest. Anyone not watching a live stream ho can confirm this?
We cant win our own line outs. Pathetic
as a side not…This is why I want the Cheetahs to top our conference AND THEY CAN!!!
The Bulls have kicked everything they have had…they have run once and JJ was through. If they use these strike runners they will score tries…They have the players for it…I HATE IT
Lambie kicking everything away
Please give deysel a run. sub keegan asap
Sharks starting with fire
Dewald doesnt get the praise he deserves
yellow card basson
Surely…if McLeod does that on a regular basis…he should be dropped. How costly is that to a teams attack.
KEEP CALM AND PASS THE F_ING BALL
No scrummie knocks as much at the base of the ruck as than McLeod.
Haha Pienaar.
Lambie lining up a penalty
9 – 6
Does anyone know who that Sharks fan is that ALWAYS ENDS UP ON TV…
We are dominatting scrum time..if only our backline could do something special
@pienaar111 (Comment 40) : the gray haired fellow?
Franco gets yellow…….
@DBOY (Comment 42) : kind of balding grey maybe…always pumping his fists cheering the sharks on
12 – 9
Lambie slots it
That whole situation just summed up our inability to use try-scoring opportunities. 😯
Mcleod with another knock
Mcleod and Keegan fighting it out for the weakest link.
Get the fu%k off the field Lambie
Not good rugby atm
If this side is coached I’m Michelangelo. There is FUCKALL structure.
Ive got to admit…Lambie has taken a dip…
But Contrary to Bulls fans opinions, Morne is still not awesome. ALL THE GUY CAN DO IS KICK
Daniels, the star player for the Bulls today.
Steyn is Bok 10 no doubt
@pienaar111 (Comment 52) : 15 points so far. 😈
@DBOY (Comment 54) : Please explain to me what he has done except kick??
Our only positive is that we’ve managed to pull the Bulls down to our level thus far.
Atleast Steyn is good in what he do…cant fault the guy for that
Deysel on for Alberts and not Daniel????
Pienaar u need to watch some Super 15 2013 repeats…thats your homework for the coming week.
THat means that when Corey Jane, Israel Dagg and Julien Savea catch the ball (because they will)…THEN THE BOKS ARE IN SHIT
Plum has lost it. Daniel should have left the field 60min ago
@pienaar111 (Comment 56) : What else did he have to do?
Bosman knocks it…ja swaer
@DBOY (Comment 60) : Im sorry I must have missed all the line breaks and offloads and try creates from Morne. Dont kid yourself…Lambie is way off form for sure I agree. but Id rather have someone who tries to have a go. (Like Jantjies earlier)…Unless you enjoy the current Bok gameplan. then you have no worries. a %65 win ratio will suffice in that case
why cant we catch a huge rugby ball…
Must be humid.
We had 2/3 possession in the second half and did……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. positive people please fill in the blanks.
Sharks killing the Bulls come scrum time
Brilliant kick from Steyn.
@rhineshark (Comment 63) : Bob skinstad said it earlier…Rugby is a game where you should run the ball. (something like that).
If all you want from #10 is to kick then we need not argue anymore. There will be no point. Because we have severely different views
Mtembu on
9min left
How was that not a yellow against Basson???
flyhalfs aside. The worst scrumhalf in SA rugby on display here tonight. why the fuck did he go to the right
sharks scores!!!!!
Why can’t the Bulls scrum?
@rhineshark (Comment 74) : Or penalty try?
I still stand by my statement. The worst scrumhalf in SA rugby plays for the Sharks
Im now in tears…sharks!!!!
Tense times now.
This team has awesome talent, but fuckall coaching. Sadly, but truely.
16 – 15
O jitte.
penalty bulls
5min left
@McLovin (Comment 78) : Mate, I’ve stopped relying on those…. 🙄
16 – 18
Steyn, what a player.
Keegan why didnt he pass
So we just handed them back 3 points. Aint we nice…
Our last chance thank you Visser
Bulls doing their best to lose this.
2min left
big scrum plz
fwd pass damn 1min left
20sec left
game over
That’s game over. We couldn’t even do a simple backline move without losing the ball.
Welgedaan Bulls.
Haha pathetic. Steyn MOTM
Have to look at coaches…Plum can pack his bags
Well done Bulls. Didn’t actually have to do much to win.
So long 2013 season. Please get rid of Plum, get a new captain, and drop Keegan and Charl from the starting line-up. Kanko/Tera at 8.
@rhineshark (Comment 101) : [email protected]DBOY (Comment 100) : Couldnt happen any sooner
Ill discipline and handling errors costs us another game.
@SeanyJMc (Comment 104) : Let’s just sum it up and call it clueless.
https://www.facebook.com/PetitionToHaveJohnPlumtreeRemovedAsSharksCoach
Can someone teach Keegan the [email protected]#ing rules pls? And the rest of the team how to catch a ball. I am afraid the only Shark players that should come near a Bok team is Jannie and Beast and that is only because they can scrum. Even Lambie has been dragged down to this rubbish level – he sucked
