Our teams still unbeaten in SA.

Munster, well they should be disappointed and could lead by 30 at HT. To much old time Bulls rugby from them.

Saffers should be happy because we might sneak a home quarter final.

[OomStruisbaai]

Looking at the log and all the other teams above our teams still need to visit SA.

I honestly did not give the lions a chance today, and the way they played tge 1st half it looked like another bad day for them. Great to see the fight they put in during the 2nd half. Good win for them.

Now that was a surprise

[Blake]

Eggman 0-2 this weekend so far

Eggman 0-2 this weekend so far

He really is struggling the last couple of days.

[Chilli]

Someone should teach the $harks players the rules of the game.

[Chilli]

The FREESTATES Henco Venter scoes fo the $harks.

[Blake]

Curwin Bosch being Curwin Bosch.

Curwin Bosch being Curwin Bosch.

He even tried to take a crash ball.

2 times now he’s cost the Sharks tries.

He is so crap.

[Blake]

This is painful to watch.

Zebre should make the most of this while the Sharks are not clicking.

Very poor game.

[OomStruisbaai]

I don't watch this. Should I watch catchup?

[Blake]

Costly match this for the $harks.

10-3 heading into halftime.

So far they’ve lost Thomas du Toit and Fassi due to injury.

Wonder if they thought they just had to show up to win? That it would be a walkover?

[Blake]

Penalty on the hooter for Zebre.

10-6 to the $harks.
Zebre will be happy with this.

[OomStruisbaai]

Sad about the injuries. Hope they get a better 2nd half.

[Sards]

I love the bitter sweet taste of all your tears. Blake, ouboet and Cilli.
That's the burden of being South Africa's elite franchise.

Got the 5 points.
Still more than 2 ahead of anything the other franchises can get.

Keep chasing Boys

3 weeks in a row leading the Saffer charge. ...

Not looking for any praise or to have social media hyping our performance. Just going about doing their job.

Stormers got 1 week leading. Bulls too I think.
Anyway. Doesn't matter.

[Blake]

Better second half by the $harks.
Got there in the end. Just too much quality and depth.

Expensive win this. Hope Tank and Fassi’s injuries aren’t too serious.

Bosch can move to 15. Boeta to 10.
We are good thanks.
We have the best scrum depth so no issues

Only care about Fassi and Tank because they are part of the Bok setup. Hope their injuries don’t put them on the sidelines for months.

We have a lot of boks......don't get sleepless nights worrying about them all

Congrats Sads!

[Sards]

I haven't watched it yet. Just finished a dinner.
Watch later.

It's sad that you lads hate on the Sharks so much. It's your Springbok team. Get behind them.

KleinGim can beat Zebre. What's wrong with SA elite franchise?

You , Blake and Chilli are just envious of the Sharks.
You can see it in your constant criticism of South Africas leading franchise. You all probably wish they lose. I pity you.

Sharks have won more games than the Bulls ( 6 ) and Stormers ( 5 )
The Sharks have a better points difference than the Bulls ( 43 ) and Stormers ( 58 ).
The Sharks are 6th. The Bulls ( 7th ) and Stormers ( 9th ).

The Stormers should go 7th with a bonus point win today. Still 2 points adrift of the Sharks. They need to win by more than 6 to have a better points difference compared to the Sharks. But cannot match the Sharks on number of wins. Batting way above their weight. But very thin on depth . The difference between Stormers and CC WP is evident by the fact that WP is nowhere near the top 4. The SA underdog team. Battered by an abusive management, taken over by SARU. Having bled players because of the toxic environment that leads players to drink excessively .

Bulls are going to move to 8th today after the Stormers game. Have made significant gains after their destruction on Friday of a half decent Munster. But need more wins. Their 6 wins is just not good enough for a team so filled with eexperience. What was pleasing to see was the fitness levels of these old players. They are definitely going to start winning more.

Me too.They were always my 2nd team until I met Sards.

I dislike $hark$ supporters like Sards. He is embarrassing for real KZN supporters like Valsbaai and the other $hark$ posters.

Being that I am a $outie from Natal, I always had a soft spot for the $harks.
To be fair though I like $ards more than I dislike Bo$ch.

[OomStruisbaai]

Compare Libbok to Bosch. That'll tell you what a good coach can do with a player. Maybe this is what Curwin need.

[OomStruisbaai]

Been watching Willemse playing for France. How Heyneke Meyer got it wrong with this Monna monster is mind blowing.

Swak supporters. The very worst kind. Thank goodness us Sharkies are not like this.

Power to the South African challenge in the URC

He is a brilliant player.

That sucks!

According to Sunday newspaper Rapport, Tambwe will be released early from his Bulls contract to take up a big-money contract with French club Bordeaux before July.

It is. He's not Bok eligible unfortunately. But SA rugby has invested a lot into him and hopefully the Bulls will recoup some of this by way of a transfer fee. The Tshituka brothers also don't have SA passports. This is not a requirement of say Scotland. You don't need to have a UK passport to pay rugby or cricket for Scotland or England. Its something we need to change fast.

He's also the ideal type of player for a French side to buy. Not able to represent an international side. So will never be absent due to test matches.

Exactly the player that they want.
