Sheer and utter nonsense. I just watched the recording. The ref made errors that favored the Chiefs. Get a life. Ignored.

My word you are a real little ray of sunshine. In however many years you have been on this board I don't think I have seen you make a single positive contribution, let alone post any more than snide one liners. I sense you think it's your solemn duty to drop a one line turd in every thread...

Coenie Oosthuizen and Brussow made a big difference for the Cheetahs. Connie really sorted the scrums and by god can Brussow tackle and slow the ball down. People have been talking about his demise all too soon. Where the heck do the Tahs go from here? Commiserations to Tahs fans. It must be...

Timani. The poor man's Pierre Spies. Looks mean. Doesn't do much mean.

Hooper getting back to form.

Oh total bullshit. Clearly obstruction. He ran into Nyakane who got delayed in trying to tackle AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Neutral ref discussion anyone? Anyhoo Cheetahs look cooked. Need replacements right away.

Cheetahs look tired.

Can't see. It's all smokey. "Boere in the Mist" The Tahs couldn't see either :)

Caarn the Boere!

So everyone is convinced that the Sharks will never score a try again and have no way of recapturing their form of last year? Right then. Let's see how the season plays out.

Sharks have a history of starting slow. They were scoring great tries in the second half of least season and indeed during the playoffs. They have the strike weapons.

Tough crowd around these parts tonight. Anyone want to talk about the game?

Hahah, yes. What else could I possibly be saying? Or am I speaking in tongues?

Eek. No Palmer? Interesting to see Kimlin at lock to make space for Fotu. That team sheet suggests a game played at high speed by the Brums.

Why can rugby players not abstain from alcohol for the season? Alcohol and high performance donlt mix. It has been proven over and over by medical science. I have a friend who is a sport scientist and she reckons you take a ig step back as a top athlete if you just have a couple of beers.

His stats are a bit better with the Brums than the Tahs if I am not mistaken? Like 10% as opposed to 5% :)

I think it looks the strongest I have ever seen it. During last year's playoffs Jannie du Plessis played the best rugby I have ever seen him play. He was dominating.(And let me say that I have never been a fan). They made complete mush of the Kings front row but Jafta pinged them four times...

Looks like Daniel is back. Better back row with him in it. The Sharks front 5 has been immensely physical and this is where I think they will have the edge. I am not saying the Brums pack are soft, but the way the Sharks pack has been laying into people plus the home crowd just gives them the...
