I can’t put it any better than this.
Thanks you Bissie.
Thank you Jannie.
Thank you Vic.
We love you and we will miss you.

Legends!
Go Sharks!
I like Wright on the bench – pity it is too late, and he is off to France.
@Bokhoring (Comment 3) : We will have Claasens, Reinach and Ungerer for next season. That’s more than enough.
@Ben (Comment 4) : Wright is still going to go places. He has a great strong pass straight from the base.
Good luck men!! You were tops…
@Bokhoring (Comment 5) : I guess only time will tell.
These Stormertjies are tackling well…
3-0 Stormers.
TMO to check out dangerous play?
Ooh…spear tackle?
Yellow to Esterhuizen…
Esterhuyzen is in trouble for a spear tackle. Yellow
Ag bliksem…
Even though these Sharks are truly shite I expect them to demolish this Stormers joke team by at least 15 points.
Ag JP…ag, ag, ag, JP…*sigh*
So far so kak…
@pastorshark (Comment 16) : Started with really poor pass from Ungerer that bounced at Cronje’s feet.
One scrum penalty Sharks…one scrum penalty Stormers…
@Bokhoring (Comment 18) : Sure…no less *sigh* though…
Sharks honestly don’t look like they want to be on the field to play.
@Spirit of Rugby (Comment 17) : Oh dear…if only that was not true…
If the Sharks cannot beat this Stormers team at home?… ay yay yay…
Good luck and good buy gents!
Oh my hat!!! Penalty Sharks…not kicked out…kick back…knocked…penalty Stormers just about where the original penalty was awarded… 😯
Nothing has changed. Still playing like a bunch of uncoached school boys.
First Cronje can’t find touch from a penalty, and then Ungerer drops the ball on his 22. Oh dear o dear
Try Sharks?
Who pressed it first?
Ooooh…Cronje?
Thank fuck this is the last game….
However the Stormers are just as kak, and it looks like the Sharks almost managed to score a try from a kick through.
Wow, it’s tight!!
Try time!!!
Even the Cheetahs got their act together and TROUNCED the Bulls today. The Sharks doing their best to end the season as the worst performing SA team. In fact that award was sealed months ago.
GOLD OUT. USELESS ASSISTANTS OUT TOO.
And it is a try.
As my non-rugby watching wife just said: That’s unusual…don’t those calls normally go against the Sharks?
5-3
Conversion missed…5-3 after 19 minutes…
So many mistakes…now a Stormers knock…
After actually quite a good Cheetahs Bulls game this is an error fest.
While the Cheetahs and Bulls game had some beautiful running…not much like that here!!
@Bokhoring (Comment 41) : Great minds…
Ag…JP in front of the kicker…just amateur errors!!
So that is a cheap shot…at goal for the Stormers…
Schoolboy errors. Cronje kicks from quite deep in the pocket, and most of the chasers in front of the kicker. Coleman makes it 6-5
5-6…ag!
@Bokhoring (Comment 46) : Just poor…
The more I watch Jp play like this the more I hope this is his last game for the Sharks!!!
Ah entertainment…Cronje just took out the cameraman…
Nice tackle from Cronje on the cameraman 😛
@RedSharkUtd82 (Comment 49) : Where is the spark, the energy?
Great tackle that Ungerer…
@pastorshark (Comment 52) : In Japan apparently lol
Ag…
Clueless on attack..
@RedSharkUtd82 (Comment 54) : Somehow I think it isn’t even there…he was benched there for the second half of their season!!
Turnover…kak forward pass…what the hell is this?!
@pastorshark (Comment 52) : its been missing all season mate. This management team isn’t working, something is wrong behind the scenes.
@pastorshark (Comment 57) : Wow ok, then I rest my case!!!
@RedSharkUtd82 (Comment 56) : What utter crud…from both sides…
Just chuck it around…have some fun…please?
Or kick it pointlessly and concede a stupid penalty…
I hope all the Cronje fans are watching and realise he is NOT good enough.
Oh…my…word…
This is like watching a rusty metronome. Just not as much fun. Fuck this. I’m watching Clermont vs SF at 8. Enjoy.
Wahahaha Wp gonna win this game via penalties.. We were lucky to get the try imo..
Another penalty nailed…5-9…come on!!
@Spirit of Rugby (Comment 66) : A rusty metronome that can’t keep the bloody beat…
Penalty Sharks…punch up…
Excitement at last!
That was a great scrum by Beast, though…crunched Koch…
The kick is nailed by Cronje…8-9…
Pathetic by Ndungane!!!
Bothma loads it off beautifully…only for Odwa to knock it…*sigh*
The humours are running high…
Nice run, quick ball…and then forwards…ag!!!!
@pastorshark (Comment 76) : Lol
Ungerer scores…TMO to check…
Good try at the end of the day…but that beautifully quick ball off an earlier ruck should have gone wide!
I suppose Butch makes a fair point though: The forwards are sick and tired of the backs knocking the ball, so they kept it to themselves…
Conversion missed…13-9 at halftime…
ugly tries count too, right?
The last 5 minutes of the half were a bit better…
@robdylan (Comment 83) : They do…better than ugly knockons!!
@pastorshark (Comment 84) : is 40 minutes of decent rugby too much to ask for to finish off such an awful year?
Cuurie cup starts in Aug……
Can this shit be fixed????
@robdylan (Comment 86) : yip. Looks like it was too much
I just laughed at the bulls pointing out to some guys how they have no plan and are just chucking the ball around like it’s a practise and then. …Sharks game…shouldn’t laugh at other teams anymore…our clown car just pulled up
@robdylan (Comment 86) : Ai…please?
Ohhhh…great chip, great gather…and Bissie steps on the touchline before putting Jannie in for his try!!! Nooo…
At least that was a bit entertaining…
We’re going to lose this to a last minute drop kick aren’t we?
Sharks 27 – 12 Stormers
60 odd minutes
Wright has a sweet pass. No looping – like a bullet straight to the recipient
@Bokhoring (Comment 95) : it’s a pity that he is off to Montpellier, I was relishing the thought of a Wright/lambie combo
@durbsguy (Comment 96) : yes. Ungerer and Wright wouldve been and shouldve been the 9’s.. shows that we have talent in the system
@SharksRTB (Comment 97) : or is that had talent in the sytem
@Bokhoring (Comment 95) : Wright is the real deal at 9 that’s why he was poached and not SU,SU looks like he is in perpetual slow motion ,a momentum killer again,not the answer at 9 for the Sharks but stillway beter than the worst 9 in SR,CR
@pastorshark (Comment 93) : Am I glad that didn’t happen!!!
