[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1057175, member: 45773"] So Glasglow leads 28 -10 going into halftime. Utterly dominating every aspect of the game. I have a few takeaways. This is very uncharacteristic of the Sharks and I don't buy the "need to acclimatise first argument" [LIST=1] [*]We are missing very easy tackles that you normally would not miss. Guys like Kok who is a seven one on one specialist is like a turnstile in this game as is the rest of the team [*]This fast pitch will suit our running playstyle, yet we play a pick and go style not associated with this team, while the opposition is making use of fast running opportunities. [*]We got a penalty advantage, instead of trying to make something happen, they just immediately kick to the middle of the field to force the penalty, why not make use of the advantage? This is very very questionable [*] Glasgow is constantly being allowed through small gaps in the middle of your defensive line. We think they go wide then they go to the middle and we don't stop them, then they go wide and we decide to defend inwards forcing the overlap every time. [*] We are literally losing all the setpieces. [*] When we have the ball they are making very dodgy decisions, such as when Bosch received the ball on his own line and tried to run it, he got tackled and Glasgow scored, or when we decided to go for a pick and go on their line when we could have taken the scrum or Lineout (Which admittedly we can't win). Another dodgy decision was when we got a penalty on the halftime mark, we are behind by far 28 -7 at this point, but they go for the poles... wtf is the players thinking do they have absolutely no composure? [*]Are the Sharks ( and by extension the rest of the sa teams) in Shock by the much stricter refereeing found in the URC than in the Currie Cup and Super rugby? The ref like to blow for everything, I think our players are very surprised, usually in Super rugby most of the stuff that was called would have been let go. [*] Cant keep the ball without knocking for longer than two phases. Usually, we can go 13+ phases. [*] Every decision we make results in a penalty for Glagow. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
