[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 584607, member: 42683"] Have to say the 2008 Currie Cup final is one of the best memories I have of my precious Sharkies. I started following them in 2006 and when they made the Super14 final a year later, I was getting into it even more. Unfortunately, the loss to the Bulls in the final seconds (Francois Steyn not kicking for touch, idiot!) was hard, since most of my wife's family were Bulls supporters, including my wife. Only me and her dad were Shark supporters and we had a tough time recovering from that. The 2008 Currie Cup final was great for several reasoms. We ended our drought of 12 years in which the Sharks did not win anything. Secondly, it was revenge for the 2007 final. We beat the Bulls in that Currie Cup final with 14-9 (2 converted tries vs. 3 penalties, typical Sharks-Bulls game). I watched the game with my wife, her brother and mother and I was the only one cheering afterwards. It was magnificent! The 2010 Currie Cup win was also very nice, mainly because the emerging Patrick Lambie. I just wish we could have hung on to some of the players we lost over the years. Especially Ruan Pienaar leaving, hurt us. We had to rely on Rory Kockott (wasn't as solid as he is now for Castres) and Charl McLeod (who's primary skill was to lose the ball forward when going for glory). Most epic game I ever watched, has to be the Super Rugby semi final against the Stormers last year. I was already back in Holland and went to O'Caseys to watch the game. Saturday afternoon, packed with South Africans. Half supporting the Sharks, the other half (maybe even a bit more) supporting the Stormers. The whole vibe in the pub that day was really something else. Being halfway across the world and watching the game with so many people being as intense as yourself is something I will never forget. After the game, us Sharkies, bought a round of drinks for the Stormers [/QUOTE]
