No idea why Mbatha stayed on the pitch. He has been hesitant since. No point buggering him for the season.

Why the hell is he staying on?!?

It does seem an odd decision


Excuse my ignorance, but who was the Bulls winger last season, little guy, very quick, I think he was a sevens specialist, he had his hair in dreads, terrific broken field runner?

Set piece aside, I just do feel the Sharks players are, van Staden apart, better than the Bulls. All the more frustrating that they aren't keeping the ball to face with them with that.

Just going to get choked out of the game by penalties

Real NH type tussle. Everything slowed down. Everything considered and accurate. Every contest a battle within the big battle. That's what professionalism means

Close...yoh...Kolisi just ran out of space...


Really is nothing in it. Two very evenly matched sides. Similar tactics. It's going to take a special moment to open this up

Completely suffocated out of the game by our own inaccuracies and flat out refusing to play with the ball in hand when we had it. As poor a team performance and game plan as you'll see

Masterclass Bulls. Sharks have to sort out their errors. Can't compete at this level if you are penalized at every breakdown. The forwards totally outclassed

Boks are not interested in him.
Jake White showing that not only is he the man in charge but also that his players could all quite easily beat s bok team made up of all the rest. Rassie is going to find it hard to ignore Jake's Bulls without serious criticism.

Its almost as though Jake has been cruising through the comp and left his best for last. You have to respect the impact he makes.

Jake White..." I don't know how the Springbok selectors think...."

" they obviously have a plan for how they see the Springboks going forward, its a difficult one because I am not in the inner sanctum of the national setup "...

There you have it.

Did Kolisi play tonight? Everett quoting him in every media article, going to his head.

Shsrks ran out of luck tonight. Overrated.

Zak Burger was outstanding when he came on. Rejected by the Sharks.

A winning dickhead. I am gracious enough to say he has built a fantastic team. I reckon he will beat anything that Rassie or Nienaber could put together.

Actually. What better training for the boks could there be than playing the Bulls. Guaranteed better preparation than Georgia.

In other news...the Sharks ladies taught the Boland ladies all about playing rugby. On Monday they are going to train hard at doing ironing. And thereafter learn how to wash the dishes. They may have to have their nails done after

What a fokken beating. Players need to perform and front up every game, before trying to up their image in social media too much. I fear roc nation have gone to their heads.

You can say what you want, but with an extremely limited Bosch at 10, and the old Stormers game plan, the $harks are wasting their money 💰 paying those backline players a salary.
