Shsrks all over the Bulls. Kolidi the star for them

[Sards]

It's real NH type rugby

[Sards]

Shsrks all over the Bulls. Kolidi the star for them

It's a team effort ouboet. Not Wunderkinds or showponies..

You should be worried about the Lions about now

[Chilli]

Who was the $harks troll who was proclaiming what a dominant scrummager Thomas The Deckchair is at tighthead?

$harks are looking really good

[OomStruisbaai]

Sharks look so good with a decent Boishaai flyhalf

Just happy to see the fatties not getting their heads scrummed up their arses

[OomStruisbaai]

Boeta is a champ

[OomStruisbaai]

Look like they win the world cup with every try

[Sards]

Look like they win the world cup with every try

They are enjoying themselves.

Let me not remind you of some WP players who were just embarrassing

Congratulations Sards. The $harks look the real deal.

[Sards]

Thats the only game that mattered for me. The other teams are very poor quality and have no quality depth

Oom. $harks must be favorites for the Rainbow Cup.

[OomStruisbaai]

Definitely if they select Boeta and Kolisi

[Sards]

Definitely if they select Boeta and Kolisi

You keep on about individuals.

Its a team sport. Which is why ex Province players always look better playing for the Sharks. Rather worry about the Lions game today ouboet....

Impressive showing in wet and soggy conditions....

Sounds like Ireland, Scotland and Wales at the best of times

Its only preparation. Bulls tried their C team.

[FalseBayFC]

Great to see a Maritzburg College Zululander Fez Mbatha have such a great game. My club rugby connections in KZN are talking him up as a future sharks captain. They see he is the real deal, great leadership potential. Last week we saw Greytown and Glenwood boy Khuta Mchunu show his stuff too. Some real beasts emerging from the heart of kwaZulu.

[Sards]

So who got SA player of the year...?

[Sards]

Definitely if they select Boeta and Kolisi

Agreed....its absolutely pathetic that we have to go through 3 rounds of the same Derbies in the Rainbow cup....
Sharks have Province first up....should be amusing

[FalseBayFC]

Holy smokes! The Griquas Pumas match is dire, these guys don't deserve to be pro's. Hate to say it but these two teams would be better served with a lot more young players of colour, there are a whole heap of white journeymen who are taking up space.

[OomStruisbaai]

The ref contribute nicely

[OomStruisbaai]

Willie Engelbrecht & Gideon van Wyk must be the most underrated players in the country.

They,ll make most international teams

[OomStruisbaai]

Well done Kwaste

[FalseBayFC]

Willie Engelbrecht & Gideon van Wyk must be the most underrated players in the country.

They,ll make most international teams

Gideon van Wyk is a real talent,but not sure which top 10 international team he would make. Engelbrecht is a decent Currie Cup level player at best, he would not make the Japan or Italian national teams.

[FalseBayFC]

Elton needs to start making his case for starting flyhalf berth against the Lions. There is zero news about Pollard's recovery. I read that as bad news.

[FalseBayFC]

Elton drops a dollie.

[Chilli]

Surely it is time for a card?

[FalseBayFC]

E W Viljoen, what a useless player. Not good enough, now aged 25 and on his 3rd or 4th pro team.

[OomStruisbaai]

Stormers play the right game.

[OomStruisbaai]

Evan Roos work rate.
