Just having a look at the Sharks 22, I think they've been written off a little. I suspect this will be a fucking rippa

 

[tigerland12]

Empty seats as well, whats up NZlanders start supporting your sides. Its the semi finals for fucksake

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Not a bad scrum from the Saders but then a bloody knock on.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Horrible defence from the Saders, Sharks scrumhalf shouldve been shut down there. Putting Alberts in over Ryan working well there for the Sharks.

 

[DPK]

Boy oh boy, that Willem Alberts is a good player.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Carter this is not a good time to have a bad night with the boot.

 

[light]

I'm glad Alberts is in my fantasy team.. on another note what's with Carters boot.

 

[tigerland12]

Oh boy Crusaders getting a bit battered at ruck time, Sharks big boys Alberts and Deysel running well.
Still, as the commentators have elluded to, the games meandering a bit

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Saders need to commit more to the breakdown. Good scramble by Robbie. Commentators saying the ball and ground is effected with heavy dew so it may have something to do with the state of the game.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Ahhhh blundered it there Saders! Robbies pass to Zac not the greatest but some good play there, need more of that. And now SBW!!!! try!!!!

 

[tigerland12]

I didn't know SBW had a background in soccer? Very against milking penalties

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

How much are the Saders paying Lawrence? Three horrendous penalties against the Sharks. In the scrum that led to the Sader's try was the Sader's player who got the ball bound?

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Dont agree with penalty milking either but SBW has had a really good half.

Dont start this ref bullshit both teams have had plenty of chances.

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

The dangerous play in the scrum? What exactly did The Beast do?

 

[Maroon Army]

That person with the airhorn is a mutt.

 

[whatty]

This is just so blatantly bad refereeing its fugged the game as a spectacle.

If he was a Saffa ref it would be called cheating but been a NZ ref he is just bad.

Good that someone backs me up.

HOW DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT! He moved one milimeter to the left, it could of caused catastrophic injury to the whole 30 players on the field.

Haha that was a joke penalty, but I haven't thought the rest of the decisions have been bad
