Bedtime for me. Will be interesting to find out who won tomorrow. Flip a coin.

<p>SAvea J has to do better than that on defense doesn't he?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's done that about 3 weeks now. It's bloody difficult defending in that circumstance but I'd bet there's a better technique than that that Wayne Smith has passed on</p>

<p>Yeah he was in a tough situation on this particular occasion but yes he has a real knack for getting beat for tries on his line where he puts a half-shoulder hit on which doesn't do the job.</p> -
<p>I think this ref, Van Derwesthoissn (like Joost I think) is actually one to watch for. I've seen him be good on numerous occasions</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calls it accurately, communicates well, stays calm. He had to succumb to a pointless TMO intervention at a kick of but handled it pretty well</p> -
<p>Sharks will win this due to an excellent second half</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You won't beat a decent SA team at home if you don't front up in the forwards and find some physical parity</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Too much through the middle from Sharks</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enough of talking up these locks who run around in the field if they can't get 99% of their lineout ball. Romano gets the AB nod because of core role execution. Canes LO has been dire</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Sharks will win this having made twice as many tackles, a telling stat. Canes have been hassled all night</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have to stop the rancid Todd baiting. Ardie isn't the second coming by any stretch but he does a lot of really good things that can't be denied</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expect Barrett to have weeks off for concussion - he got his head in the wrong place on a head on tackle with the smallest guy on the field</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Coles is awesome all round the field</p>
