Kick kick kick.... It seems to be engraved into the Sharks mindset.

And then the kicking is super kark as well.

They did so well with that one turn over ball. Why not do it more?

I've actually stopped watching now. You don't win against the Crusaders by giving them counter attack ball all night. We won the last game because when we were down to 13 men we were forced to hold on to the ball and play rugby. This game we're falling on the old game plan of not wanting to play rugby.

Sharks have done well just to keep in touch so far.

Unfortunately we don't have the attacking game plan to come back from ten behind against a team like the Crusaders.

Unless we decide to start playing some rugby in the second half it is a foregone conclusion.

I really don't mind losing so much, I just wish we'd give ourselves a chance to win instead of dishing up this tripe.

If only the Sharks backs were more clinical today. I really hope Jake White gives them a good talking to during half time.

Very difficult to get on the front foot against the Crusaders in this mood. They seem to instinctively know when to commit to the breakdown and it's so effective at slowing the Sharks down and/or disorientating them instantly. It's like they do so as a single thinking entity. It's quite incredible actually, I'm sure I saw their physio at the bottom of one ruck ;)

Who develops the game plan to hand the ball over with kicks? Can't see the Sharkies swimming back from this net.
