They've been on the board from round 1, bonus points are a very credible way of progressing without actually winning.

8 points with 1 win, 4 bonus points, that's quite amazing. It's 4 points for a win. So they have a win worth of bonus points already.
 
Bongi out for the rest of the season, damn it man!!

Sharks suffer Bongi blow

Sharks coach John Plumtree has admitted his fears that the injury that forced Bongi Mbonambi off in the World Cup final could rule the hooker out for the rest of the season.

Bulls doing their best to throw this much. 2 penalty misses at polls, 2 missed penalties to touch. F uck me, but it's irritating when pros at this level can't do the basics. Goosen subbed for his efforts.
 
Missed the first 2 minutes of the 2nd half and bulls are down to 13, a red and a yellow card. Wtf happened? NH refs being NH refs?

31-23 ft to Edinburgh. Bulls had their chances but once again made too many errors. Good game. High intensity. Proper match. Bulls denied a losing bonus points in the 81st minute.

Just seen the bulls red now they talking about it in studio. As suspected, nh ref being nh ref. Edinburgh 8 got a yellow for a high hit, was upright. Marcell got a red for a high tackle where both players went low. Fcked over by the ref. Swys and bros losing their s hit in studio.
 
The Sharks look exactly what they usually look like. Trash.

How can you play like this in front of your home crowd?

Something is really wrong at the shark tank.

Sharks fielding some 3rd choice players, such is the extent of their injury woes. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt...
 
This is my first Sharks match watched this year. Clearly feeling the missing Boks. Bosch was a complete moron trying to outrun half the Connaught team while isolated

Too many opportunities miss through errors and handling.

But there were some good moments and signs of something for Plum to work with. We're in a rebuild and need to accept that we're likely to be low on the log. I have faith in Plum, he needs time to work with this team
 
So The Sharks can bearly do the basics right.

Poor scrum, poor lineout, poor handling because they just keep knocking the ball, poor ruck speed and ball security, popr kicking from the tee.

This team has really gone backwards fast.

@sand_man so if The Sharks are currently fielding 3rd choice players how bad are they going to be ahen the Challenge cup starts... I don't want to know.

Yip, that's the challenge (scuse the pun). All franchisees have bitten off more than they can chew. Don't forget Currie Cup.

Sharks have decent squad depth. They just have so many injuries. First choice front row, for example, is Ox, Bongi and Koch. They got locks out, Roets, Grobler, Reniel Hugo, Vince Tshituka, flank, Kerron van Vuuren, another hooker, Muller du Plessis, centre, Francois Hougaard etc etc etc... plus their Boks should be back soon, Mapimpi, Williams, Hendrikse, Eben....

If you wondering how the Irish clubs have all their internationals back and we don't, it's because they last played in the quarter finals.

Something else worth noting, Irelands entire world cup squad all play in Ireland (Munster, Leinster, Ulster, Connacht).

We f ucked in that regard.
