Sharks vs Leopards, 19:00, somewhere in the north-west

[Seaton]

So, the Sharks take on the Leopards this Friday evening in Potchestroom (sp.)
The Sharks are second on the log, whilst the Leopards are last, but come off a thrilling 43-38 defeat by the Bulls.
They looked good in that game, and have retained much of the side. However, I cannot see a much more organised Sharks team getting anything less than a 5 pointer. Looking forward to a try fest, will post the line-ups now.

Leopards:
15 Danie Dames, 14 Deon Scholtz, 13 Jovan Bowles, 12 Walter Venter, 11 Dumisani Matyeshana, 10 Neill Jacobs, 9 Michael Bondesio, 8 Riaan Swanepoel, 7 Wilhelm Koch (capt.), 6 Christo van Niekerk, 5 Rynard Landman, 4 Anthonie Gronum/Brad Mockford, 3 Barend van der Walt, 2 Marthinus van der Westhuizen, 1 BG Uys.
Replacements: 16 Gavin Williamson, 17 Johan Coetzee, 18 Edrich Linde, 19 RW Kember, 20 Jean Tiedt, 21 Clayton Durand, 22 Jan van Zyl.

Sharks:
Team: 15. Louis Ludik, 14. Odwa Ndungane, 13. Stefan Terblanche (Captain), 12. Andries Strauss, 11. Lwazi Mvovo, 10. Patrick Lambie, 9. Rory Kockott, 8. Willem Alberts, 7. Keegan Daniel, 6. Jacques Botes, 5. Alistair Hargreaves, 4. Ross Skeate, 3. Eugene van Staden, 2. Craig Burden, 1. Pat Cilliers

Holy ****, Lwazi Mvovo playing like a demon, want to see him in the Springbok squad.

All in all a cracking game for a Sharks supporter, nice to see Kockett back to form, he really does offer a lot more than McLeod, in terms of sniping around the ruck and just general energy, and that shows in anyone around him.
Its fantastic that we never conceded a try, but I am truly worried about the scrums, there have been far too many collapsing this season, in terms of Sharks games.

The full time score was 51-6

Here were the scorers:

- Tries: Lwazi Mvovo, Patric Cilliers, Willem Alberts, Louis Ludik, Rory Kockott, Stefan Terblanche (2) Conversions: Patrick Lambie (3), Rory Kockott (2)
Penalties: Patrick Lambie (2)


Happy days, now for Province and Bulls to draw, with 5 red cards apiece, several citings and a delayed flight for next week to durban
Platinum Leopards - Penalties: Neill Jacobs (2)
