Someone actually voted for the Lions in the poll... 4 people in fact.

Brumbies 13 - 16 Sharks
(Halftime score)

Brumbies targeting Sharks' midfield defence.

Shame the lions must feel like Jenna Jameson after a gang bang scene....

Nah, I don't think the Lions want more.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

It seems face smacks in front of refs are back in fashion and completely unpunishable .......

A game lost by the Sharks due to the refereeing.... again.

there are 2 types of people in this world...those who support the blue bulls and those who wish they supported the bulls.

Fixed it for you

Lol @ that pass! Right in the noggin!

 

[APoc184]

Lol @ that pass!

That will burn like fire now. I know. I've taken a kick in the face once.

 

[APoc184]

Shame. Not Cory Jane's night. First he copped a ball in the face, then knocked out cold after a head clash with Naqelavuki.

One can actually blame the referee for the second incident. He should rather blow the whistle, not just breath into it. Almost nobody heard the whistle.

Looks good for the stormers after the bulls got a bonus point win again. Looks like things aren't going the sharks way. Hopefully the stormers can win this one.

Cape Town - Hurricanes centre Ma’a Nonu will appear before a SANZAR judicial officer in Cape Town on Monday after being cited for a dangerous tackle following Saturday’s Super 14 match against the Stormers in Cape Town.

Nonu was cited under Law 10.4 (e) – tackling a player above the line of the shoulders – for a tackle on Stormers flyhalf Peter Grant in the 71st minute of the match. The Stormers won the match 37-13.

Nonu’s hearing will take at the offices of the Western Province Rugby Union at 15h00 on Monday.

I think this was for the shoulder block - don't think it is worth a citing; the previous game's spear tackle was worse!

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

and not one utterance about the smack to the face ...... not surprised really.

Bit of a stiff arm, but I also think it's not worth a citing. But then again Grant is a tough mofo, laughing it off - making it look like nothing. He could've milked it if he wanted to, but he usually just gets on with it.

Good to see South African teams on the top of the log. Hope the other South African teams come to the party soon

 

[KaMoS]

I know this is a bit late but I'm going to say it anyway...GO STORMERS JOU LEKKER DING!!!
