Reds 17 - 10 Sharks at half-time. Why wasn't Ioane given a red card for that tackle? Can't see how it was different from Warburton's.

This match was something else. We started off pretty damn good, but failed to put points on the board. The Reds get 1 penalty going their way and immediately score a try. I was gutted when it happened and afterwards Riaan Viljoen messed up the kick-off giving the Reds a scrum at half-way. It was the perfect start for the Reds, but when Sykes went off, it was a blessing in disguise for the Sharks. Jandre (Jan-Andre) Marais came on, scoring a try and giving us the edge in the line-outs. When Sykes was on, we lost our line-outs, but Marais brought the spark we needed. I cannot wait for Hargreaves to return!

Marais' try was the turning point. Mvovo's try was disallowed because of a shoulder-charge which was a very dodgy call, but Ioane going off with a yellow gave us the momentum.

In the second half, we didn't get into any trouble, aside from the Frisby try, and only conceded 5 points in total!

The good: Lambie, Marais, Bosman, Viljoen (despite his awful kick-off) and Ndungane
The bad: Daniel, Bismarck (giving away too many penalties) and again Daniel
