Nice crowd in the Bos

[OomStruisbaai]

31-7 HT Stormers with the strong wind.

[OomStruisbaai]

FT 52-7 Stormers to go on tour.

[TheNatalShark]

Christ alive refs look poor today, so many garbage decisions and Leinster playing it well

[OomStruisbaai]

The ref in the Lions game is just stupid. Obviously like Embra.

[TheNatalShark]

Fucking Cameron Wight must be creeping into one of the worst ever signings for the Sharks.

Fucking dummying a pass to players, forcing them to stop when he doesn't pass, and then he passes to them when they're static.

Absolute garbage

[Sards]

Eisch Bosch

[OomStruisbaai]

Curwin Bosch dus kant die hoek vlag

[Sards]

Aaargh

[TheNatalShark]

Ref really riding the Sharks now with inconsistent application around the ruck, jokeshop decisions leaving Sharks lucky to be in the game.

We need to interpret the law correctly. There is nothing wrong with our team bar that

[Sards]

Oh my word....that was a bullshit penalty

You need a proper flyhalf.

I don't know what is more funny, your consecutive posts or suggestion Sharks aren't in desperate need of overhaul in players or approach.

Wight and Bosch continue to be inadequate for this level, and for whatever reason, it must be coaching, Fassi and friends aren't competing on the up and unders.

Ref is definitely giving decisions against the Sharks he isn't blowing against Leinster in the ruck entry, time allowed on feet to compete and retrieve ball, and bullshit rolling calls.

I feel your pain. I know they have invested in some flyhalves. Just waiting to see them. And yes it pains to have our first choice scrumhalf and backup at the RWC . And that leaves us Wright who I abhor. And yes some of those penalty calls are bullshit. I just don't want to appear a ref basher

[TheNatalShark]

Sharks upper hand in scrums all game and the first where Leinster get the edge, whilst popping up, they get a pen.

This is horseshit reffing and I fucking hate it, as blatant as you get

[OomStruisbaai]

Lions very unlucky.

[Sards]

That wasn't the ref. That was beautiful. Fassi still can't tackle

[TheNatalShark]

Didn't want to give Plum any time as I was convinced absolutely would not be the right person to take the team forward, but this is a truly shambolic performance with a good enough amount of time with all these players against Leinster C that was battered by Glasgow

[OomStruisbaai]

Embra on the backfoot

[Sards]

That looked better. Maybe the scrumhalf change

[OomStruisbaai]

Lions should take it from. here

[OomStruisbaai]

Lions leading 13-10

[Sards]

Aaah.

Just can't make anything work

[Sards]

Heart breaking from Lions

[Tichtheid]

The Lions looked a good side, their work around the breakdown was excellent.

Edinburgh managed to squeak out a win but it was very close, neither side deserved to lose.

[OomStruisbaai]

WC is done and dusted, Lets move on to the real rugby. Bulls vs Ulster is going to be exciting

Fucking Cameron Wight must be creeping into one of the worst ever signings for the Sharks.

Fucking dummying a pass to players, forcing them to stop when he doesn't pass, and then he passes to them when they're static.

Absolute garbage

I saw this, it made me laugh. I've never seen a scrum half dummy his own players. Even they were like WTF?

Need to give Hoohaa a chance, until Williams and Hendrikse are back.

Dyantyi looked pretty good when he came on. Looking forward to seeing more of him.

[handyman]

Aaah.

Just can't make anything work

What's the problem(s) at the Sharks, Sards?

[handyman]

FT 52-7 Stormers to go on tour.

Good start to the season. Something to build on.

[assfly]

I thought I read somewhere that Jordan Hendrikse was going to the $harks? But can't find anything on it now. Pity, he'd be ideal.

[assfly]

Also, what ever happened to Johan du Toit?

[Sards]

Aaah.

Just can't make anything work

What's the problem(s) at the Sharks, Sards?

Cameron Wright. Simple. Let's start with a decent scrumhalf and then sort the problems from there. Vok. Even Herschel Jantjies is better than him

[OomStruisbaai]

Also, what ever happened to Johan du Toit?

Retired from rugby, making wine

[OomStruisbaai]
