| Minute | Commentary |
|---|---|
84 |
The Sharks tap and go but it's knocked on and that is it! Griquas hold on and upset the log leaders! |
82 |
Good interplay between forwards and backs. They're five metres out and it's a penalty for offside ... |
80 |
Griquas get another penalty at the breakdown and Brummer belts it down field. The Sharks win a turnover and run back with purpose ... |
78 |
The Sharks now playing for a draw but even that seems unlikely at this stage. Bosman and Stander take it up, followed by Deysel. Griquas win a scrum feed as they hold up the maul |
75 |
Redelinghuys is penalised for pulling down the maul. It's some distance out on the angle, but Brummer coolly kicks the PENALTY |
73 |
The Sharks throwing everything at their hosts and finally, after 10 plus phases, Ludik, with a perfectly timed run, goes over. However, the try is disallowed as the TMO rules there had been obstruction in the lead-up to the try |
71 |
Coetzee pins the Sharks back with a well-weighted kick. Griquas push for a turnover but is penalised in the process |
68 |
Jordaan has stayed down after a heavy tackle that results in a forward pass. Jordaan is helped off. It's been a very physical game on the hard Kimberley pitch |
67 |
Ludik stabs an chip through but the ball beats Ndungane into touch |
66 |
Still Griquas attack - no signs of them defending their lead but Espag loses it in contact |
65 |
Griquas make all for 50 metres with ball in hand before Brummer goes for another drop which is well short |
62 |
Deysel bounces off a would-be defender as the Sharks look to score but Sithole is bundled into touch |
60 |
Griquas are back to 15 men having kept the Sharks scoreless in the 10-minute period Karemaker spent in the bin |
58 |
Plumtree puts fresh legs on as Daniel takes it forward and Griquas win a penalty to relieve the pressure |
55 |
Ludik is hammered by Lawson, who's congratulated by his teammates as it leads to a forward pass |
53 |
PENALTY! Griquas wisely look to retain possession and win a kickable penalty in the process - Botes not rolling away. Brummer slots it |
50 |
As anticipated a yellow card is shown - to Karemaker, for taking the man in the air. Is this the turning point? |
49 |
PENALTY! The Sharks make progress with a driving maul that wins them a penalty. Bosman continues his goal-kicking masterclass |
46 |
Le Roux tries a grubber as there's no way through the Sharks defence but no-one chases so it's an easy dot down for the visitors for a 22m restart |
44 |
Griquas are losing their discipline. A yellow card could he shown soon |
42 |
Griquas are offside in their desperate attempt to fall back and Bosman bangs over another PENALTY |
41 |
Interestingly, Griquas were out hitting the tackle bags during half time ... In any event, the Sharks have their work cut out for them as they get the second 40 under way. |
40 |
Good period of attack by the Sharks, who take a quick tap in search of a try but it's knocked on just metres from the line. That's half time |
38 |
Vulindlu is back on and is knocked out again by a hard double tackle. It's certainly not his day ... Meanwhile, Brummer kicks another PENALTY as the Sharks infringe on the deck |
36 |
Botes goes for an intercept but can't hold on so we'll have a scrum as we approach half time |
34 |
PENALTY! Schoeman again concedes a penalty for not showing daylight and Bosman kicks the three points |
32 |
Lateral running by the Sharks easily sees Griquas tackle them into touch. Vulindlu got his head on the wrong side of the tackle and is being attended to. He's back on his feet and heads to the concussion bin |
31 |
PENALTY! Chadwick is pinned at the resulting scrum, allowing Brummer to extend the lead |
29 |
Another handling error creeps into the Sharks' game. They look hell-bent on hitting it up through the middle |
27 |
Scrappy stuff by Griquas as Landman knocks on inside the Sharks' 22 |
24 |
Schoeman is penalised for not showing daylight after a good tackle and Bosman lands a brilliant long-range PENALTY |
21 |
Griquas are causing problems for the Sharks with their attacking. Brummer attempts a drop goal but it's well wide |
18 |
Brummer adds the CONVERSION |
17 |
TRY! Griquas turn down the kick at goal and the decision pays off as Schoeman flops over at the back of a driving maul |
16 |
Stemmet and Wilkins make headway for the hosts. Le Roux puts Karemaker into space. The Sharks flood the breakdown and Ludik is penalised. |
13 |
Griquas power through at scrum time, disrupting McLeod and winning a turnover |
10 |
PENALTY! Griquas are caught offside as the Sharks pile on the pressure and Bosman makes no mistake |
8 |
First scrum is a good one for the Sharks. They move it wide where Sithole is bundled into touch |
5 |
Griquas look good as they work through several phases before Herbst is penalised for not rolling away. Brummer kicks the PENALTY to open the scoring |
2 |
The Sharks spread it wide but Schoeman wins a penalty for Griquas at the breakdown |
0 |
And we're under way in Kimberley! The Sharks field the kick-off and try to run it back but Griquas manage a turnover. They can't make it count though as they concede a penalty |
-5 |
Altitude could be a factor and with that in mind John Plumtree has gone for a 5-2 split bench |
-10 |
Both teams scored morale-boosting wins last weekend and with perfect conditions for running rugby we are in for an entertaining spectacle |
