Sharks v bulls game

[biggsy]

Just got from OS and trying to catch up on a months worth of rugby. Just noticing the scores over the last the month.
Then I cam to sharks v bulls game. Have not seen the game yet but sharks with a 4 try bonus point win.
With out seeing the game, it feels like the Saffas are up to cheeky tricks losing on purpose to get the sharks and bulls at 5 and 6 on the ladder. Cheeky fuckers. I hope they don't get any further and its a NZ V AUS GF again all even better a all AUS GF

Have they decided who to drop next year? Maybe they come out and tell the Cheetahs and Lions the team that loses or loses the worst is gone next season. Could be an easy way to put this speculation to rest.

They do have history of this sort of thing..

What a joke. You guys are delusional.

What a good, fair way to decide it. Can't believe no one's thought of that before. The best performance over 80 mins against different teams. Perfect.

Sorry, arent you a Lions supporter? Too bad.

Of course its BS, i was trying to take the piss out of these conspiracy theories Bb.

Well the Brutes would have been stupid to gifted the Sharks the bonus point win. They needed the win to try and won the SA conference and home semis.

Sorry but I just have todo this.

Edit: in regard to the OP.

 

[PaarlBok]

They now have a very stern test against the Lions. The Lions will try and win their last S15 match and always bring their best against their Jukskeirivier neighbour. Apart from the Chiefs vs Canes match this one have the making of an upset but then I'll hate the Lions if they do that. Three SA teams in the play offs will be perfect and an all SA final even better.

Perhaps I missed your sarcasm then No4918, apologies.

I do find it funny that, as biggsy and a number of others have pointed out, there is a feeling that the South African teams play for each other, or for the good of SA Rugby when it comes to finals. The Cheetahs and Lions are expected to lie down and hand over the 4 try bonus point wins to the Sharks and Bulls, but the Waratahs (who are below the Cheetahs on the table and with one less win, and arguably in worse form than the Lions at the moment) are expected to go out and really try put one over the Reds and end their finals hopes. For some reason they have more incentive to finish their season on a high than the Cheetahs and Lions do.....

Good grief this thread. How sad and misinformed some people are.

 

[PaarlBok]

Chances are good to see no Aus team in the semis.

Perhaps the ARU could organise Aussie Steve Walsh to hand out a couple of yellows to Tahs players on Friday night, to get the Reds across the line.

I'm sure the Suncorp faithful wouldn't mind.

(BTW. Nothing sh*ts me more than Aussie teams, from any state, playing like old women against the NZ and Saffer provincial teams, but then turning up the heat to play the spoiler against our local sides. The non-Aussie teams must find it highly amusing. I don't.)
