Kings do well to hold the Sharks out and eventually force a knock on. Kings chose to counter attack but lose the ball forward near halfway. Scrum time.
Short arm penalty to the Sharks for not feeding the scrum. Sharks tap and go. Pressure on the Kings early on.
The game is underway. Kings are pinned in their 22m early on, Sharks clearly looking to utilise the small chips and grubbers against the Kings today. Kings scrum inside their own 22m. First scrum of the match.
The teams are making their way onto the field. Kickoff seconds away.

Hello and welcome to today's clash between the Sharks and the EP Kings, live from Growthpoint Kings Park, Durban. It's been a tough season for the Kings after their re-entry into the Currie Cup premier division. They have lost all seven matches thus far despite attempting to play a positive running style of rugby. Surprisingly, the EP Kings have scored more tries than the Sharks and Griquas, but their defense has let them down tremendously. The Sharks, on the other hand, have had a very different season. They currently lie in third spot and could steal second place if they were to record a big victory today. The Sharks come off an impressive victory away to the Bulls, and will look to refine that performance going into the semi-finals. Can the Kings cause their first upset of the season, or will the Sharks make easy work of the Port Elizabeth outfit?
