Sharks lash lousy Leopards
8 Feb 2013
The Sharks shook off the rust with a 71-8 pre-season win against the Leopards in Pietermaritzburg on Friday night.
John Plumtree’s men led 31-3 at the break after tries to flyhalf Pat Lambie, flanker Jacques Botes, right wing Odwa Ndungane, No 8 Tera Mtembu and left wing Lwazi Mvovo. The visitors’ points came from the boot of flyhalf Johnny Welthagen.
The Sharks continued to dominate after the break with Mvovo and Botes each getting a second, and flanker Jean Deysel, captain Frans Steyn and loosehead prop Allan Dell also crossing the whitewash.
The Leopards finally scored a try through replacement Elardus Venter, but the Sharks had the final say when Mtembu scored his second of the night just before full-time.
Lambie slotted five conversions for the Sharks and replacment Meyer Bosman three.

@Mr Black-198:
Well, according to Bakkies there is something wrong with my eyes, which I interpreted as Botha having won the fight over the ten rounds but that I did not see that clearly.
Jip…lotsa controversy re the 11th and 12th round. Botha’s assistants must come out and say whether they knew beforehand if the fight was only scheduled for 10 rounds as is claimed by the Aussies. If they did indeed know, all this kak that Bakkies is going on about, means nothing.

@Mr Black-198:
yes the two rounds missing is controversial but still open to spin of some sort or the other.
the bigger larf is the time gone missing from the ‘last’ round when Sonny was clearly holding on for dear life and quite easily would have been knocked out without the referees or someone elses intervention.
how they will explain those missing 15 seconds from round ten will make for fun reading.

@nama1-201:
you mean Bakkies who, after watching the first half at Soccer City (ABs/Bokkes), found 21 extra indiscretions by the ABs the ref could have called, yet not ONE indiscretion from the Bokke?
maybe, seeing as he suffers from myopia of biblical proportions, he has noticed the onset of symptoms in you and is trying to help you before it becomes full blown paranoia?

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-199:
If you were certain that Botha edged 7 & 8, you would’ve said so. So, I take it that it was even.
10 points each for those rounds.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-202:
Do you think there was some emails send before the fight
You need to go see someone regarding your condition. I don’t know what more to say to you.
Good luck

@nama1-201:
sweet, still no mention of the missing 15 seconds
keep it up

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-207:
Timekeepers making mistakes in boxing happen quite often. sometimes they “forget” to sound the bell and the round will last longer that the three minutes. Sometimes they do it too early.
Bert Blewet would’ve been able to give you examples.

seems Jake doesnt think their is match fixing in rugby, does this mean he thinks NZ win “fair and square” ?
9 Feb 2013, 17:35 pm
Unlucky Italy.
Would’ve been in for a try if it was not for the intercept. Now the Scots have scored on the other end.
27-3 in favor of the Scots

Gerrie Coetzee versus Greg Page, 1984
Coetzee got stopped just before the 4th minute, in a round that went on for almost a full minute extra in error

have you seen this article Bakkies, Thinus Strydom reluctantly agreed and CONFIRMS that the fight was changed to 10 rounds..
eish, now this is interesting..
seems both camps DID agree to the change.
9 Feb 2013, 17:43 pm
@nama1-204:
yet you’re certain it was drawn.
9 Feb 2013, 17:43 pm
@the curse-211:
Were there any Kiwis involved in that fight? Maybe the timekeeper was from NZ?
9 Feb 2013, 17:43 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-207: @the curse-203:
I see the lovers quarrel is still going strong.
If you two ever meet up it will be one big s hagfest for sure.
9 Feb 2013, 17:45 pm
@Mr Black-205:

9 Feb 2013, 17:46 pm
@Fern-215: at least Bakkies would have the guts to meet up and have a beer, youve already admitted youd be scared to front this maori..
best you stay safe down at the dam Lazarus..
9 Feb 2013, 17:47 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-213:
No, no, no Bakkies. I used YOUR scorecard.
You said “even” or Botha may have “edged” it. I put it to you that if you were certain that he edged it, you would’ve said so and therefor I concluded that it was even in that rounds.
9 Feb 2013, 17:47 pm
@nama1-208:
of course, they forgot what the time was.
i suppose the multiple watches available to them was a factor.
larf
9 Feb 2013, 17:50 pm
@the curse-217:
I will meet you in NZ for a beer.

9 Feb 2013, 17:51 pm
@Fern-215:

9 Feb 2013, 17:53 pm
@Fern-220: but youve already admitted on this blog that you wouldnt have a beer with me? more then once too…
is this another Lazarus moment?
9 Feb 2013, 17:53 pm
@nama1-218:
i put it to you that if you were not certain that i was certain if he edged or drew it you would have put down he drew it.

9 Feb 2013, 18:01 pm
@the curse-228:
if you hold on like Sonny Boy did, especially at the end, i will not be happy.
i also dont want any of your gatgabbas near the official timkeepers, scorecards and judges.
9 Feb 2013, 18:02 pm
@Fern-232: so because I dont speak the language means I am not of that heritage?
seems Oscar Pistorius isnt the only SA with race problems huh Fern?

9 Feb 2013, 18:14 pm
@Fern-243: what relevance does it have Fern?
why are you diverting?
you were the one who said he wouldnt have a beer with me, then when I called you on it you went to my heritage and now where I live?
I understand you are trying to save face now, but it really isnt that important in the big scheme of things..
do tell us, this fake death you had, was it done for sympathy? have you no friends?
9 Feb 2013, 18:14 pm
