[nickdnz]

Looking forward to this one. Think it will be close, but if I was a betting man my money would go on the Sharks.

 

[TRF_heineken]

Bismarck on the bench as a precaution for his groin injury and Ndungane back home also because of a groin injury... hmmm... was there a Prostitute involved?? Lol!!

have to agree with TRF_nickdz, the sharks to win this one... but only just.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

I'd have had the Sharks as favorites even away form home but without Bismarck and Lambie... not so sure.

 

[Dizzy]

Well as a Canes man its automatic I pick them. But the Sharks are my second favourite team in the competition so I'm looking forward to it and will be happy either way!

 

[Icemn]

the canes will win...

they usually win the teams they should lose against... and lose to the teams they should win... lol

canes by 10...

 

[sonnench]

Can't wait for this one, should be a cracker. Unfortunately will only be able to watch the replay, but will be following the live scores. Very, very tough game to call, really could go either way. Going to back the Sharks simply because they are my team, but I have no confidence in the call.

Surprised Bismark is on the bench, but Burden is not the worst replacement. Not having Lambie is a HUGE blow, so big that I actually wrongly picked the Brumbies to beat us last weekend.

Sharks by five.

 

[sonnench]

Darn....

 

[Draggs]

What type of call was that??

 

[sonnench]

What type of call was that??

What happened??

 

[Draggs]

What happened??

We kicked a pen, 7-3, and turned over the ball just after the restart.
Canes drive forward and go over the line, no sign of the ball, but ref asks "Any reason?". 14-3.
We make good distance down the field and then turn it over within 5m out. Typical.

Hate that ****ing rule.

But yeah, sounds pretty typical.

 

[Draggs]

Poor clearance from Cane, we have a lineout inside the 22. Concede a pen.
Hurricanes manage to get a pen inside our 22 after a bit of kicking.
Barrett pushes it, 14-3, we are dominating possession, Hurricanes taking advantage of our mistakes.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Bit of hometown reffing from glen Jackson here!

 

[Draggs]

Bit of fisticuffs. Pretty nasty.
Gonna be some citings.

Just had a replay, Jannie gave Lowe a smack, not sure why. McLeod went balls in.
White card.

We at least winning on that side of things?

 

[Draggs]

17-3. We were moving the ball and everything.
Fight messed with our flow (ball movement, not scoring that is...).

 

[William18]

Would love to know what started all that.

 

[Draggs]

Would love to know what started all that.

Jannie going to have a nice rest I think. Looks like just a bit of shoving taken to the next level.
Sharks offsides, 20-3.

We take it right to the 5m and concede a pen. I can't watch much more.

Try Savea. 25-3 halftime.

Hope Plumtree smacks the hell out of Jannie and Michalak. I might bring on Bosman right now. Nothing to lose, Michalak is taking the wrong option every time.

 

[sonnench]

Hmm by the sounds of it, I might give the replay a miss. Here's hoping for dramatic comeback.

Edit: 25-3.....will have to be comeback of all comebacks.
