Sharks are driving me nuts!

Dropping the ball on attack and inability to pass during a clear try scoring opportunity. Argh!!!

Nee man stoppit!

Did Pietersen forget how passing works?

 

[sand_man]

That's was painful to watch. But as Naas always says, a win is a win...

Last 2 games of today was not attractive rugby.

Lucky to scrape a win there .... need to borrow some of the Argie hand spray for sure. If the Jags sort out their discipline and moves, a lot of teams are in for hurt so I'm glad they were off their game.

Work harder Sharks, there is awesomeness just under the surface.

I think the Jaguares are going to surprise a few teams

 

[Kaleb]

Jags have been very undisciplined so far in both games but once they get that under control, they could be very dangerous

 

[OrbitalDawn]

The Du Preez brothers have a bright future, I think.

I don't think it'll be a surprise... It is the Argentinian team after all?

How does Creevy not understand the English interviewer, but needs to understand the ref

And as I say that he starts answering without translation first

Yeh, hopefully their interview skills improve, so ja

He does understand them but just feels more comfortable having the interpreter in case he misunderstands.

Something in my gut tells me that the Sunwolves will start to pick it up, being an 2,5 weeks old team didn’t bode them well in the opening game. Maybe the bye will do them good… they will lose the momentum that they had picked up. Viliami Lolohea is now in the squad so they have a quality winger alongside Yamada and Sasakura as they didn’t have any other experienced wingers other than the university players which would add depth to their squad. It is still uncertain that Lolohea will be available next weel, I think they said he will be selectable by the time they take on the Rebels.

They also have an Argentinian, Tomás Leonardi, loosie returning to the squad which may or may not play next week. He played at the Kings… however, the player is not highly rated.

I think the Cheetahs game will be tight, but the ‘untrained’ squad is likely to take a win over the bewildered Rebels. They need to win at least two home games to be something this year prior their overseas campaign.

Get the scrums and handling in order and may very well be the precision team.

On this note, Goromaru is being paid too much by the Reds, though he has also only been 2,5 weeks in their squad he is struggling under the SR pressure. He should had signed with the Sunwolves this year where he would had known the team and got used to the SR structure, then looked at greener pastures.

Great contests both of them will be. Kinda wish the USA will make it to the final. Will be great for the home crowd.

I know it's a bit late for asking this, but who is the studio commentator for the Super Rugby with the glasses and beard? He was in yesterday morning and though his accent was one of someone from down under? TIA.
