Very much so. Was rather embarrassing in fact. Sharks deserved better from that game.

Shields missed knock on stuffed the Shawks up a bit but wft hard to argue with the mental acuity required to execute a errorless 6-minute length of the field drive when you're completely knackered to clinch the win by 1 point in the 84th minute. Champion mentality.
About 4 of that Shawks team have got 10 year Springbok jersey tenure written all over them

Those Du Preez brothers are pretty damn good.
Holy crap that was an incredible finish.
Sharks were excellent. Both Du Preez and Am just brilliant.

Have never seen him have an acceptable game since he started a year or so ago. Think he might have got chipped about his ending the game last week when the Tahs pulled down the Brumbies maul on the try line after full time. He certainly went out of his way to allow the Canes to stay in there for up to 4 minutes past full time last night.

^^^^^^ possibly missed a Horrorcanes knock-on but everything after the Marais (?) YC looked kosher to me (& I'd have been more than happy for Shawks to win & bring 'canes back to the pack points table-wise).
Certainly shouldn't have been play on because the Canes player played the ball on the ground.
I thought the ball was still in the ruck though so the Sharks player played the ball in the ruck and committed the first penalty.

Bloos midfield looking porous already, DMac being allowed way too many easy metres. Perofuture's kicking starting to be a liability, too.

Perofeta is a Fullback/winger. Not a 10.

Bloos contrive to be in front at oranges. Fucked if I or the Tribe know how.

This is increasingly looking like the correct answer. Not that, that's necessarily a bad thing.
Neither will the Blues. They're more French than France are these days.

Following my career path, maybe: not skilful enough for an inside back, not fast enough for an outside back so let's stick you at 13 & see what happens....

It's a bit of a surreal experience to be on the receiving end of the Blues classic 'manufacture-a-hundred-scoring-opportunities-but-f*ck-up-hundred-and-one-of-them' gameplan. Just need it to last another 22 minutes, pls.
But of course it'll only last 21 minutes. And they Chiefs will manufacture a converted try in the 80th min to win the match.

Is your career in 5th division subbies like mine?

That's exactly the lack of intelligence that consistently costs the Blues matches against anyone who can't be overawed by natural ability. All they had to do was pack a back down at the scrum to try shore it up, leave the left wing undefended and use the halfback to keep the try scorer as wide as possible. If the Chiefs wanted the easy try they could've had it but would've had a conversion from the unfavourable kicking side.
Instead they concede a penalty try with a seven man scrum.
F*cking idiots.

Chiefs by 2, I suspect you'd have got good odds on that pre-match.

no fucks given there, wasnt expecting shit and that's what we got. At least they tried hard to the end without overly embarrassing themselves, all we can hope for really.
These things happen.
To the Blues.
Every week.

SA conference turning into a real scrap between Sharks and Lions for top spot and Bulls, Stormers & Jags fighting it out among themselves.
One wonders how the Sharks will be at home after all the travel and effort they put into the last two matches. A Bulls win there will open things up once more.
