    Dunno how much value the title sponsor
    is getting.
    Compare it to Mr Price and DHL – you have
    to wait for close-ups and then strain your
    eyes to see Avenge.
    :shake:

    Well.
    42,000 in the crowd.
    Keeping the Sharks tryless.
    In with a BP up to the last 5 minutes.
    I will call that a moral victory.

    Reply to Boertjie @ 9:02 pm: Absolutely, they showed some real guts again tonight. At this stage they are far from the embarresment some so called ‘kenners’ predicted before the season.

    Paul “Shifty Gypsy” Jordaan had an insightful run towards the end.
    But it seems that he and S15′s greatest distributor – Messerschmitt-Willie are being coy with the rugby public so early in the season.
    They’re saving the best for last & I for one….can’t wait!

    Extremely poor performance by the sharks.

    The y made it easy for the Kings in defence, one off runner with no support player, the Kings only missed 6 tackles the whole game and played the rucks well, the sharks are going to ave to smarten up, this dum dum rugby isn’t going to get them much further.

    that is what we said about the Bulls and Stormers and as soon as they played against some weak opposition they won playing some attractive rugby :whistling:

    Wait till the Sharks and kings play some easier opponents from NZ :mrgreen:
