This Sharks team is something special. They can win.

I am grateful to RV for pointing out the huge liability that Frans Steyn can be.
His talents are far outweighed by his errors.
He is a Percy on steroids and yet they want this Jonah in the team!
But at least he can’t play this time, so maybe there is hope.

And don’t forget the part Steve Walsh played there! Has he collected his white stick yet?
And does Bosman have his walking ring this time?

Long haul flights are the best for rest and recuperation. No interruptions, no external demands, just hours and hours to read, sleep and recharge your batteries. The Chiefs should fly to Singapore and back to get the team as rested as the Sharks.

We will only know after the 1st 20mins and if the bok players are bothered to seek something they dont have in the trophy cabinet. The Sharks are a team that play according to what the stars dictate, unfortunately!

Its going to be a epic battle!!! I think if the sharks come though and win this it will be up there with the greatest Championships. I think the adrenaline of the final will get them through and the way that they’ve been playing will help them. Its 80 mins left and its going to be massive battle!!!! Come On Sharks !!

The turnaround doesn’t leave the Sharks players much time to visit the duckpond.

@Sharks fans are genuine Bok supporters-4: realist. Cheifs could most likely bring their A game.

@greatest13gerber-1: They could. Anythings possible. The last time they played was the week after the Sharks had flown back from a 5 week tour to Australasia and they won by 4 points i think.

So far I have not read any article talking about the mental pressure the Chiefs will be under. The major of Hamilton is already planning a massive victory party for them and the whole media is adamant that given all the travel the Sharks had to endure, that the Chiefs will beat the Sharks by a big margin and easily. I think this can be almost a greater barrier for them to over come than the Shark’s barrier of the travel fatigue.

@greatest13gerber-1: Why do we all have to be defeatists like you? Chiefs didn't win by much in the beginning of the competition.

“There has been plenty of rhetoric out of the their camp rubbishing fatigue as a factor, but it’s affects cannot be discounted and is most likely to take hold in the final quarter. ”

so Ryan Dragon – you list one of the obvious excuses if they get beaten by 20+ points?? Has anyone thought that Cheifs could put away these bananboys by a big margin??
