Tough game. Sharks will have to play much better next week if they want to beat the Crusaders.

Congratulations to both teams. Just wonder if the Sharks can do one over the Crusaders.

That will be a big test, but not impossible

MC for MoM?

EDIT: Oh please... Bismark...

Why are the commentators discussing a tie with one point difference and 4 mins to go? Do they realise there has to be 3 scoring opportunities to achieve it?

Was thinking the same, the world cup is over.

Good game, enjoyed that it was a tight affair ...... pushover games do the Sharks no good.

Got to hope that they have the extra day for travel and acclimatisation. They'll need it.

Defense mainly is where they fell short tonight. Get that right and they have a better than decent chance. Scrum and maul were both really good.

Good news. It makes it a little fairer to the Sharks travelling furtherest to play.

I'm not the youngster I used to be. Have fond memories of the early morning bok games in the 90's, we went out at 5pm on a friday and murdered it, still be there at 5am when Ma made us a proper english breakfast we washed down with beer during the games. Hell that woman looked after us like her own children, RIP Ma

Can be enjoyed over a good brekkie and plenty of hot jo.

Well done to the Sharks.

Scrumming was fantastic and they looked like a team in control.

Ball handling and cover defense was a bit of a problem though, but if they can sort thaqt out I am sure they will be able to take the Saders at home.

Read this somewhere -

Glen Jackson has been in control of eight crusaders games, and the have never lost. He has controlled three sharks games, and they have never won.

I really hope that we can have a game of rugby on the weekend and not a result based on the ref ........

I'll still pick sharks on SB. I'd rather get vd before I pick those goat fücking island savages to win anything besides group herpes.
