@byron (Comment 2) : Benazzi still reckons he scored that day. 😀 Comment 3, posted at 21.02.15 18:09:00 by Spirit of Rugby

Nobody said it would be easy, but I want to see a team out there. No superstars and individual VIPs, a team. Sorry Lions, but you’re standing in the way of my guys. If there was ever a moment for the Sharks, its now Comment 4, posted at 21.02.15 18:11:35 by SeanJeff

Interesting situation. I hope the game can go ahead Comment 5, posted at 21.02.15 18:13:16 by robdylan

I’m very worried about SP as our fullback in these conditions. Comment 6, posted at 21.02.15 18:15:16 by Ben

Doesn’t look like this rain is going to stop anytime soon. Comment 7, posted at 21.02.15 18:24:11 by Stu

@Spirit of Rugby (Comment 3) : its veru difficylt to ground a ball in 3 ft of water :p Comment 8, posted at 21.02.15 18:48:41 by byron

@byron (Comment 8) : yeah, they should deflate the balls a bit so htey don’t float quite so much Comment 9, posted at 21.02.15 18:53:20 by robdylan

@byron (Comment 8) : 😆 Comment 10, posted at 21.02.15 18:53:47 by Spirit of Rugby

Still pouring down. Good luck Sharkies! Comment 12, posted at 21.02.15 19:09:29 by Ben

Hopefully no injuries for either team today, there were quite a few in the reds force game after playing on a wet field, not half as bad as this Comment 13, posted at 21.02.15 19:10:30 by RuckingFun

Lets go Sharks! Comment 14, posted at 21.02.15 19:11:06 by RuckingFun

GET RID OF SP Comment 20, posted at 21.02.15 19:21:39 by Seth101

How often does Marais kick the ball out on the full like that? 😯 Comment 21, posted at 21.02.15 19:21:59 by Spirit of Rugby

@Spirit of Rugby (Comment 21) : The weather will have an influence on how the ball leaves the boot. Comment 22, posted at 21.02.15 19:26:39 by GreatSharksays

Coetzee is very good at 15 for the Lions sofar Comment 23, posted at 21.02.15 19:27:52 by Bokhoring

Reinach used to top clear more than 15 metres last season… 🙄 Comment 24, posted at 21.02.15 19:30:01 by Big Fish

@GreatSharksays (Comment 22) : He does it all the time…. Comment 25, posted at 21.02.15 19:30:02 by Seth101

Good mauls from the Sharks Comment 26, posted at 21.02.15 19:31:40 by Bokhoring

Sharks mess up a lineout in a good position Comment 27, posted at 21.02.15 19:35:20 by Bokhoring

Ndungane holds on to score a good try from Lambie cross kick Comment 28, posted at 21.02.15 19:37:43 by Bokhoring

Fantastic display of skill by Lambie there. Great take by Odwa too. Comment 29, posted at 21.02.15 19:38:21 by Big Fish

Beautiful! Comment 30, posted at 21.02.15 19:38:48 by Seth101

Who knew we would pick the world’s worst weather to play decent rugby? Comment 31, posted at 21.02.15 19:44:14 by Seth101

Giant adds respectability to our scrum. Comment 32, posted at 21.02.15 19:44:20 by GreatSharksays

Sharks scrum a lot better Comment 33, posted at 21.02.15 19:52:52 by Bokhoring

Cobus has been equally brilliant and terrible. Comment 34, posted at 21.02.15 19:54:59 by Here be dragons

@Here be dragons (Comment 34) : This is true Comment 35, posted at 21.02.15 19:57:33 by Big Fish

Yeah Reinach really hot and cold. Good half by the sharks tho Comment 36, posted at 21.02.15 19:58:11 by RuckingFun

sharks lead 15-6 at half time. Tries Ndungane, Reinach. Conversion and a penalty by Lambie For the Lions, two penalties to Boshoff. Comment 37, posted at 21.02.15 19:58:39 by robdylan

Two more tries and we walk away with a bonus point win. Come on lads. Let’s bloody do this. Comment 38, posted at 21.02.15 19:59:35 by Ben

Sharks playing the correct kind of game and also executing the plan most of the time. The scrum, compared to the past couple of games, is a pleasant surprise. Comment 39, posted at 21.02.15 20:00:26 by Spirit of Rugby

The butterflies are flying in formation. Much better and let’s finish it off Comment 40, posted at 21.02.15 20:00:42 by SeanJeff

@Spirit of Rugby (Comment 39) : I think the wet field has evened the scrums out a bit. We are doing well though. Comment 41, posted at 21.02.15 20:01:32 by Ben

I like this Giant fellow. Comment 42, posted at 21.02.15 20:06:43 by GreatSharksays

@Ben (Comment 38) : Would be nice, but the Lions should be much better the second half. Comment 43, posted at 21.02.15 20:07:16 by Spirit of Rugby

@Ben (Comment 41) : Jip. Comment 44, posted at 21.02.15 20:08:47 by Spirit of Rugby

@GreatSharksays (Comment 42) : I concur. Comment 45, posted at 21.02.15 20:09:03 by Spirit of Rugby

Happy with the intensity of the boys. Comment 46, posted at 21.02.15 20:10:04 by GreatSharksays

Come on SP.. Comment 47, posted at 21.02.15 20:13:55 by RuckingFun

Sometimes I can only wonder at what goes in SP’s minds… Comment 48, posted at 21.02.15 20:14:10 by Big Fish

I have never heard of a no lifting rule…. Comment 49, posted at 21.02.15 20:14:31 by Seth101

@Big Fish (Comment 48) : You reckon he has more than one and they’re conflicting? Comment 50, posted at 21.02.15 20:15:13 by Spirit of Rugby

SP is a clown. Comment 51, posted at 21.02.15 20:17:08 by GreatSharksays

Are they sure Giant is only 116kg? Boy he looks at least 10kg heavier than that. Everytime he adds weight to a defensive maul, it stops dead…. Comment 52, posted at 21.02.15 20:18:31 by Mpandla

@GreatSharksays (Comment 51) : Not a funny one though. Comment 53, posted at 21.02.15 20:18:46 by Spirit of Rugby

@Spirit of Rugby (Comment 50) : Always seems in 2 minds as to what to do. Comment 54, posted at 21.02.15 20:19:28 by Big Fish

@Mpandla (Comment 52) : The commentators even commented on it and said he was more. I think he is more around 125kgs Comment 55, posted at 21.02.15 20:19:38 by Seth101

Excellent pressure at the ruck! Comment 56, posted at 21.02.15 20:20:10 by Spirit of Rugby

@Big Fish (Comment 54) : Ja, wish he would just choose one. Comment 57, posted at 21.02.15 20:21:04 by Spirit of Rugby

@Seth101 (Comment 55) : Whatever it is, he’s using it! Comment 58, posted at 21.02.15 20:21:48 by Spirit of Rugby

Nothing kick from Odwa Comment 59, posted at 21.02.15 20:23:44 by Spirit of Rugby

So that’s why Odwa doesn’t wear a number 10 on his back! Comment 60, posted at 21.02.15 20:23:45 by Ben

Lambies misses are hurting us Comment 61, posted at 21.02.15 20:24:05 by RuckingFun

15-12 Comment 64, posted at 21.02.15 20:26:17 by Bokhoring

That stupid kick by Odwa has taken us back to our tryline and gifted the Lions 3 points Comment 65, posted at 21.02.15 20:26:18 by Spirit of Rugby

Poor decision making is costing us. Comment 66, posted at 21.02.15 20:27:14 by Big Fish

Ok plz take SP off seriously Comment 71, posted at 21.02.15 20:28:16 by RuckingFun

Someone please replace SP… This can’t be good for his confidence either… Comment 72, posted at 21.02.15 20:28:49 by Big Fish

Coetzee has been miles better than SP Comment 73, posted at 21.02.15 20:29:28 by Bokhoring

@Big Fish (Comment 72) : He needs to be put out of his misery! Comment 74, posted at 21.02.15 20:29:36 by Ben
