I really like Jim Hamilton as a commentator. Made me laugh out loud a few times.

Great Chilli. :thumbup: I would take a 1 point win. The Stormers are in great form at the moment.

If the Sharks beat Leinster today they can catch Leinster mathematical for top spot.

But that's just dreaming from a mad supporter like me.

One game at a time and last night second half was great.

:lol: ja that's shite. Our kickers get motivated by it. When we played up north, the silence upset them.

Connact get the win but the ref have no idea of a dominate scrum.

Now for the big one.

Ulster and Glasgow like a bit of booing, they might have been more at home there.

Think Sharks will win here.

The Sharks need passion. Just going through the motions. Kolisi should pump them up.

Connacht were very happy the game ended when it did, as that last scrum was absolutely on roller skates.

It's ever more noticeable the way the SA teams are struggling to manage the breakdowns, because if Connacht are getting as many turnovers from them as they did, it's something they really need to work on.

I’m no Leinster supporter, the actions of the lock made it look bad, but at the very worst it was a hand on the guy’s shoulder

I'm rooting for Frawley, he's a Skerries laddie. Skerries and my hometown club have an annual fixture the day before the 6N Scotland Ireland games in both countries going back 70 years. I think it's the longest standing fixture between Irish and Scottish clubs

Locks should not have pony tails. As a Sharks supporter I don't mind targeting of pony tails.

This 100%, although a scrum is probably better for Leinster.

Hendrikse is really good, but his decision making isn't consistently top quality yet, only 22 years old could develop into a really excellent player could also not. Entirely depends on his mindset, if he's windgat at all he won't maximize his potential.

Emotional win given the flooding disaster. I reckon this Sharks side needs another season though, and maybe some signings too, shouldn't have been that close.
