I just think that the Sharks with a bye last weekend and with the Bulls not in total form they going to beat the bulls by 5-7 points. Crusaders are gonna be fired up against Chiefs and will beat them with ease. By that time the Stormers will know the result of the Chiefs/Crusaders game and with the Crusaders winning will give them a boost knowing that a win over the Cheetahs will put them in a commanding position in ending up top of the S15 log. good times ahead.

Bismarck my man of the match again this week. He was epic tonight.

Anyone notice how excited Kanko looked when he looked inside his Vodafone MOM packet? Sure it was a S3 inside...

What a tackle by Mvovo. That kis is destined to score many Bok tries...

Mvovo should be a regular for the Boks.

I've liked Mvovo for a while. He's playing consistently well, and he's got crazy pace. Who'd you replace for him, though? I'd put him in ahead of Basson at the moment at least, but he's not starting either. Can't see Meyer replacing Habana or Pietersen...
 
Habana is playing really well this season. I was calling for his retirement last season but I'm happy to eat my words on that one. JP is another one you can't bench, so you'd have to have Mvovo on the bench until Habana returns to his old ways...:D

Yeah, pretty much. Quite glad to see Habana doing well. I think the Stormers felt cheated. He plays great for the Bulls, they buy him and he starts sucking. :p

I was also quite hard on Pietersen a while back. Couldn't understand why the hell he was there, and then he promptly made me eat my words.
 
I think Habana struggled to fit into the Stormers team. I felt that the Stormers style of play did not fit him at all. And yes, I have been calling for his head the last 2 years as well. The way he played the last couple of months, really impressed me and seems to be getting back to his best.
What a position to be in with so many good players. Pity only a handful can be picked!
 
Great win by the Sharks. Played with fire in the belly. I suppose their efforts were helped by the incentive of the playoffs. Still plenty of elements top improve on, but so pleased to see them performing as a team.

My 2 plays of the game:

- Bismarck at the back of a ruck, Sharks on attack & he flips the ball to a fellow player nonchalantly with one hand. Very casual, but it helped ensure quick attack.

- Marcel was really good with his offloads of the ball in some of the tackles the Bulls put on him. Keeping hands above the tackle and making the pass to the next player. Kept the attack quick and meaningful.
