It seems like cheating to get a result is an acceptable risk, and training is done with this in mind…

So my guess is that Smith brought this kind of nonsense with him to the Chiefs. I only hope that with Smith no longer there, the AB’s will stop that ****.

So, when JP Pietersen scythed through the Stormers defensive line to score his try – that was a high ball mistake ?

So the fact that the Sharks scored half the number of tries the Stormers scored all season in their last 4 games were all high ball mistakes ? Did the Bulls also make a bunch of high ball mistakes when they got nailed 32-10 ? How about the Reds in Brisbane ?

Grow some sportsmanship man. The Sharks deserved to be in the final. Unfortunately, it was never going to be a fair contest. It was quite literally a bridge too many.

As soon as the sharks came 6th they just delayed the only possible result, loss on a foreign field.

I’m sorry, they got to the final because of two high ball mistakes by the stormers which resulted in the two tries that got them the game. After that it was a foregone conclussion that a NZ team would win the Super15 2012.

Thats genius journalism right there – 1. point out the obvious that a 4-try 31-pt margin victory had ‘nothing to do with the ref’ and 2. in so doing, courting controversy that ‘it had nothing to do with the ref’, thereby increasing the number of hits on a SA rugby site.

‘nothing to do with the ref’ – HA ! genius.

@Skeppie-74: mate, got sick of all the “love” as you put it thrown in my nations direction, especially when SA were WC’s and we had been robbed in Cardiff, … gotta fight fire with fire I say, or as Bowie once said, Im putting out the fire with gasoline seems many of your countrymen dont like that, but its only the circle of life.. what they once sowed they now reap, guess they should have planted their crops much more carefully… dont worry, in 2015 when the WCs on I’ll change tack…but better hope we dont win it then

@Transformation-77: its funny Trans, but people like Gumboots and Puma, they always treat me with a modicum of respect and what do you know, they receive that respect back… simple concept I know..

Ive realised that so many people on this blog are EXPERTS at deciphering and interpreting TONE from the written word, hence so many wade right in, often when I am firmly tongue in cheek… the meltdown line is a classic, it must stroke their egos, but how can they be so sure Im not just on the wind up? guess they know better then me how Im feeling? hahaha I must remember to use smilies more often, but then even that doesnt work as whatever proved yesterday it does give me a great laugh though, and its nice to know that I can get that reaction with a single post.. seems I need to upgrade the cannon on my Waka so that it fires a driftnet, such is the number of fish that congregate whenever my Waka sails into SA waters

the best thing is, Ive been assured by both Ranger and Fern that theyd never have a beer with me, I am so upset at that and this after Fern continually harassed me to meet him at the Opera house bar for a beer when he is in Sydney next? now he doesnt want to, guess the GF and life at the Dam has softened the internet hardman as Skeppie puts it “where is the love” ?

@NoRugbyGuru_0_-80: you must have that post saved on your hard drive huh? do you look at it and does it get your blood boiling? does the red mist descend like that fabled story of the doctor who lived with the beasts? (Grillas in the mist)… its funny you continually repost that, but have never once condemned Fern for the very things my post highlights….what a fcken hypocrite… ….I often wonder which part of that post has you irate? is it condemning Fern for his misogyny [thats woman hating to save you time looking it up] , is it the reference to people from Holland? Did you know that Abel Janszoon Tasman, he of the Tasman sea, that which seperates NZ and Australia, was a D.utchman?
and I quote, ” The sea was named after the D.utch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, the first recorded European to encounter New Zealand and Tasmania” see, in your country it may be a racist epitet, but in the big wide world it often refers to those who are from Holland… very hard to get my head around that one, perhaps we in the big wide world should call them Hollandaise to save the confusion? perhaps its because your country has specific labels like coloured and stuff that is the real problem? do you get upset every time the commentators at the Olympics mention the Du.tch supporters? oh my… or is it the reference to the type of woman that finds Fern attractive? hang on, are you Ferns “mate”? is that why you repost it all the time? hahahaha..

@Dusky-90: was a bridge too far for the sharks, but their fans can be proud, they had a great run and you could see the toll it had taken on them during the game… if they had found that form earlier they may have won the whole competition…alas it wasnt to be.. . seems the wick on the black and white dynamite fizzled, there was no Booooom

WP will beat the Sharks in the Currie Cup opener, and then this lot will be on here beating their chests again. So prepare yourself.

The Sharks will without a doubt have to play with a very watered down team.

Dumbo Stormer.

Your wifes face has that effect on men

Wow, it’s been three years already.

Time really flies.
