Sharks paste Pumas

Sharks paste Pumas

16 Feb 2013

The Sharks completed Super Rugby preparations in giving the Pumas 50 points.

Frans Steyn’s debut as Sharks captain was memorable for the display of the Sharks as a unit, especially with the impact of the substitutions as the Sharks finished strongly to win 50-19.

The Sharks led early through two tries, then battled a home team fight back at 19-14, and then showed their class in taking control with a crushing last quarter.

The Sharks, without injured captain Keegan Daniel for the first month of the tournament, play the Cheetahs next weekend.

    Shame Shaun, do you fear the Stormers that much you put them in the bottom half of your wet dream? Sharks fans to be trophy less in 2013 again? For the sake of grating the many big mouth Shark supporters………….. you betcha!

    @W.P-5: Shaun is confusing the Pumas with the Argentine national side. He is glad the Lions are not in the supercomp this year as they will be touring Australia.

    @W.P-5: @stormer in a teacup-6:

    Most Sharks supporters are somehow obsessed with the Stormers. And it is not the other way around. We just worry about our own team.

    When it comes to the Sharks, their supporters have delusions of mediocrity!

    Or as someone mentioned A wet sharks dream?
    Stormer 3rd last ????????????? You know anything about rugby?
    Just because they will have F steyn for the year you think they will win it all??

    Stormers may not win it but will end ahead of your sharks, just you wait and see .

    @I am a stormer-7: @W.P-5: @stormer in a teacup-6: No most Sharks supporters are not obbesessed about your Stormers, you assume to much, you have 3 or 4 Sharks guys on here bragging in here does that speak for the whole Sharks supporter base?

    There are far more Stormer supporters bashing the Sharks and their supporters, so do i take it the way you do?

    Easy pointing fingers ai’nt it?

    Provincialism is sooo boring.I am a shark supporter,but support all Sa teams.if all our teams do well it is proof that our standards are higher than our kiwi and aussie counterparts.if most of our teams end on top and make the play offs ,sa’s rygby is healthy and strong. I must say the,bulls,sharks and stomers have amazingly strong squads this year! I’m betting our top 3teams to dominate this year! The cheetahs also to do better than usual,the goose to have agreat season. And the kings…ag shame,maybe they could beat the force…

    @Angostura-18: Well thats what i am referring to, trust me you Stormers have your fair shair of those kind of bloggers

    I for one think the Stormers are the SA team to beat this year, i dont care for poorly played pre season warm up matches, they count for nothing.

    And you also have some people on this site who thin the Kings will end ahead of the Cheetahs??
    They cant even beat an average CC side on their home field
    How they going to go to Oz and NZ and win How they going to beat Sharks, Stormers bulls and Cheetahs?
    Maybe one lucky win

    @CoachPete-22: Pete the discussion up above was about the bashing of Sharks and Stormers towards each other, we all know there are lots of crazy supporters from all teams in here, and some who claim to support a team, but sit and stir all day. :smile:

    From what I can tell, the try scorers were:

    Louis Ludik
    Jacques Botes (3)
    Marcell Coetzee (2)
    Paul Jordaan (2)

    More info on the performance as a whole or any injury concerns to follow.

    @Jeez-23: Jeez?? you crazy?? Botes has been on fire these first 2 games. Also Sharks have a lot of injuries at the moment, so why Botes?

    Butch
    Alberts
    Bissy
    Chadwick
    Whitehead
    Daniel

    these are players that are out injured, so why would Botes not be playing?

    @Sharks_are_gonna_get_you-19: Sorry, dude, I’m not a Stormers supporter, but a Sharks & a Kings supporter … if you’re against provincialism, then break the vicious circle, don’t feed it …

    anyway, any person who thinks he call the S15 log in advance, & then proceeds to place the Canes & the Stormers at #12 & #13 on that log, either knows little of rugby or is just another troll (g** forbid)

    either way he does not derserve your support, whether he is Sharks fan or not …

    still not sold on Steyn as a captain, hope he proves me wrong.

    logic would suggest a confidence building win is better than a confidence building loss but, this isn’t always the case because it’s really all about the effort the opposition puts in.

    i didn’t watch the game but if the team’s been genuinely tested and came out winners, then good.

    To be honest, I think this will be Botes’ last year with the Sharks.

    Yes it is great to have an experienced player, especially with Alberts and Deysel constantly injured, but it is not a like-for-like replacement.

    And at some point, you will have to back the next generation. They will not be able to keep young Kleinhans and Stander if they do not give them game time.
