Round 14- Sharks v W.Force

[Dumbo]

Sharks ranked equal 5th take on the Western Force (still ranked 14th) at home, the Sharks have a shot at making the semi’s and will be looking for the full 5 points. However the Force will be looking for the points to get off the bottom of the ladder. This will be an interesting game…

 

[Rassie]

Besides the 5 points Sharks also need to put up a big score past Force and they also need Brumbies not to get a bonus point from Chch

 

[The TRUTH]

Force will spoil the party and take the points,there semi finals chances and there women........ 29-26

 

[Rassie]

Well, we shall see ! Currently, all hopes are for the Sharks - realistic chances !

 

[dobrien7]

I'm going for the Sharks to comfortably beat Force, and Crusaders to deny Brunbies the onus point they need, sneaking the Sharks into the semis, just to break the boredom of NZ and Oz semi finalists every year...

I won't be too disappointed if the Sharks miss the Semi's. They have improved so much on last year that I feel satisfied with this Super season. Expect the Sharks to do very well in this years Currie Cup and challenge for a Final spot (not semi but Final).

Oh and Sharks to win this by 10 and gain a bonus point.

sharks no doubt

 

[Rassie]

Can Sharks put more than 30 points over Force? I really think they can! Will they make the semis? Hmm, they got smth like 25% chances if you ask me!

 

[TheBokke]

Now a 85% chance after the crusaders spanked the Brumbies.

 

[kaftka]

Woohoo. I have to work tomorrow at 7am so I'll be up at 5 to see this...

 

[Rassie]

Yeap, very true, thanks Crusaders !

SA can have a semifinalist if Sharks win the bonus point and kick Force arse by more than 8 points !

90% chances for the Sharks!

P.S: And Sharks can win in Chch, they almost did it in the regular season !

 

[TheBokke]

yeah haaaaaaaaa the sharks 4th try awesssoommmmeee!!!!!! Now they have to pile on the points to shut out bulls and win by way more than the required points

 

[TheBokke]

Sharks 41 - Western Force 15 69 Mins

 

[TheBokke]

Crusaders are my second favorite team forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheBokke]

Sharks 41 - Western Force 25 Full Time

[Serge]

Thought the Sharks were gonna lose their margin at the end. Stoked they didn't, taught the Brumbies a lesson though. Wonder how they feel now after resting their star players!

 

[aussie1st]

Good win by the Sharks, dam useless Force can't be depended on!

Hahaha! Like me another non-cantabian convert :bravo:

Bet you Sharks fans were losing faith during the Crusaders/Brumbies match with 15 mins to go.......don't you know that the Crusaders go hard to the end.....even when they have NOTHING to gain from it...they will put in 100% effort till th whistle blows......as highlighted by their try in the final minute...
