That 6-2 split on the bench could be crucial in the last twenty. Looking forward to this match, day time rugby should make for a good watch.

Good try Laumape and this time BB does add the extras
-
Pretty Rubbish D from the Canes, far too easy for the Sharks
-
Why to the Canes do this to us - go to sleep, wake up score a try then go back to sleep again so bloody frustrating
-
FFS Beaudy that dribble kick was cr@p
-
Well finally. A TO won. And a FK
-
@Stargazer He was patting the shoulder area, but holding his wrist awkwardly too. Looked like he landed on the point of his shoulder in that last tackle
-
Aaagh BB don't get injured
-
Man this is a joke. Red Card? This is making me see red alright
What about the Shaorks player pulling Canes player jersey not allowing him to get to the ball carrier? -
@Jailbreak7 Nah, lazy from Fifita. Shoulder to the throat. Red is appropriate.
-
@Jailbreak7 What grates about this decision is the fact that the ref let plenty neck grabs by the Sharks go throughout the game only penalised one high tackle
-
Still, that was a cheap shot by Fifita. No need at all to drive up with the shoulder and if he had stayed down it would still have been close to a Farrell like shoulder tackle and marginal on whether he was committed..
Obviously a fair bit of goading going on all game by both teams and the end was luckily waived away. Coles and Ardie lucky it wasn’t a French ref. -
That was a tough, hard fought win even when the Sharks were being niggly mother f#@kers, cheats at times IMO.
Ardie was exceptional again and it was good to see Evans and Coles return. Much needed experience.
Onwards and upwards.

Looking at the video in this article. Fifita deserved that red card. No excuses.

@Toddy hopefully only two so he's nice and fresh for the playoffs. Actually the best game I've seen Fifita play in a while. Was huge on D, but obviously reckless with that last hit.
