Concussion Test

Sithole snipes through the gap as 3 defenders attempt & fail to put him down. This set up a ruck a few meters out and the Springbok hooker goes over to score.

Great work by the Beast in the lead up to that try.

Yes. .. Come on Shaaaaarkd

Lewies forces a turnover and Sharks rumble on through about 25m out. Blues collect a little chip ahead and clear their lines. Sharks line out and are on the attack

Blues on the attack as Hall takes a quick tap. Sharks not 10 and can level this game up. Blues quite noticeably keeping the game as quick as possible.

With that kick Frans Steyn brings up his 100 points for the season

Blues set up plenty of phases close to the ruck and make some good yards. Nonu knocks on as Bismark du Plessis lines him up and the Sharks attack through Mvovo on the left wing. Blues infringe at the ruck and Steyn sets up a kick at goal

Sharks penalised for not retreating after a Steyn kick. Hickey on the 50m line sets up an attacking line out.

Francois Steyn gets the game underway as he kicks it deep from left to right.

We are a few minutes away from kick off as the Sharks & Blues make their way out. There has been a touch of rain so we have a wet pitch which may cause issues in the early exchanges.
