Scrums are awful, pitch cutting up not helping.
That's fair

Still so disappointing that Dweba hasn't pushed on
He’s a gym monkey. Arms too big to throw and catch.

It is just amazing how it looks like Sharks are playing with13.

Centres AWOL in defense.

Penxe off the bench is having a great game. Only Shork in the mood.

Kok being a cock and rightly penalised.

Can’t wait for the new pitch to be installed. They are aiming to have it in by October. Let’s wait and see.

Think he saw Fourie as kicking into Penxe.

Good decision by the officials.

Kok used to be a pretty level headed and brainy player. Seems like the Durban heat has turned him into a bit of a meathead. When he’s not suplexing people in rucks he is starting fights after tries have been scored.

Stormers winning in a bit of a spackerfest. Dobson has done great with a backline of ex 7s players and a Sharks reject in Libbok and Free State reject Blommetjies. Feinberg-Mngomezulu is real class. He's surprisingly physical and makes good yards in contact. Libbok must come into the reckoning as at least a backup Bok flyhalf.

As a I speak Werner Kok is a real cock.

It was all fine. :???:

Fourie wanted to contest, so he got contested, then went mad when a winger beat him.

He's reached Philip Burger levels of peevishness. That angry face he has in after play scuffles makes me throw things at the TV.

Whistle had gone by then. Kok cleared out Fourie after the whistle.

Madness. He has heart, we need more of this. We need a team of men with the heart and swagger of Wrights and Koks. We need to become Wright Koks.

Sheesh, Stormes are going to lose this.

Going down to the wire.

Great try that from Williams, saves some blushes from the hail merry offload part of the quick tap. Can he please just snipe more with fewer meerkats and fully dallying.

Yet another dumb, disinterested final 20 from the Stomps. Real issue for the coach.

Fair point but Wright is limited and we have too many limited journeymen in the Sharks team.
