Sharks vs Hurricanes

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.

@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.

Great to see him showing some mongrel. Isn't that what the AB selectors want in a potential blindside ?

Good on the Canes for taking points on offer by taking penalty kicks. One bad miss by Barrett which could be costly at a World Cup...
I’d love it if DuPreez was a kiwi. Shit, what a unit. Young too.
Goosen has a bit of Cory Jane about him right now, that was a really well taken try.
Fifita’s tackle deserved red. We want Mongrel in our 6, not shoulder charge stupidity.

Watched a replay of the game this afternoon,really impressed with the Canes firstly at set piece scrum I really thought they may struggle in that area, but more than held their own.
But the really eye opener was the Breakdown were I thought despite yielding plenty of size it could been a tough day at the office..led by Ardie Savea I thought the Canes were superb..
Great to see Ardie & Sam Cane in such awesome form..maybe having them on the field at the same time is the way to go..just saying -
Am watching the replay in bits.
Just got to 25 mins and the 'late' hit by
AsoProctor.Firstly the fucking Saffa TV producer makes a meal of the replay.
Fucking biased fluffy bunnies.
Secondly it wasn't high. I'll wear the ref saw it different. He was wrong but hey interpretation.
But what really pisses me off (apart from the Saffa broadcasters cheating) is that Berry says there's no issue with timing but awards the penalty down field where the kick lands. If it is not late penalty is where the "offence" took place.

Peter Umaga Jensen most likely to step up or Marshall will come into Fullback and Jordie will move into centre.

@mikey07 Not weird at all. It has probably to do with composition of the refereeing "pods" that have been allocated to the games in South Africa in these rounds. There have been a lot of complaints about SA referees being biased in games between South African and non-South African teams, and Berry is currently the only neutral in the two pods working in South Africa.

And the two tries he set up and 80+% goal kicking could win a world cup, but let's just focus on the miss shall we. If I were to criticize BB it would be for his punting. Very farking ordinary.
Was a good win, but probably would have been much closer without Ardie. He's gone next level now.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Yeah Ardie is a machine this year. Aslong as we have him fit and healthy through the playoffs we can beat anyone on our day.
-
Was it a bad miss or wasn’t it?

Sharks were desperate to win and it showed in their niggle
Canes pack showed up this week after getting dusted up vs Jaguares 2 weeks ago
They were resolute under immense pressure
Sharks had 70% Territory overall
IMO it was their most impressive performance of the season along with their 2 wins vs the Highlanders
Canes are blessed to have A Savea TJ Barrett Bros & Laumape
Hell of a quintet to rely on
