Lambie kicks Sharks to victory

Lambie kicks Sharks to victory

The Sharks proved the more physical to edge the Stormers at Kings Park.

The hosts beat the Stormers 12 – 6 after the match was scoreless at half time.

The match was hyped to be great viewing pleasure, but what followed was a disappointing show of what South African rugby has become. Four penalties beat two penalties as neither team looked close to getting over the tryline.

The first half was an error strewn kicking match in which both flyhalves attempted to gain the upper hand with clever kicks into space, but neither succeeded in putting their flyers away. Gio Aplon had the best opportunity of the half, but coughed up a cross kick, that could have been a five pointer had he held on.

After no points in the opening fourty, the second half got off to a flying start as Lambie and Pietersen exchanged penalties in first five minutes after the break. Another penalty each kept the game even, before the Stormers conceded another two for Lambie to extend the lead to six.

All the cliché’s will be thrown around this week, ‘battle of attrition’ and ‘clash of the titans’, and yes it was, but the distinct lack of try scoring opportunities and creativity from both sides will be worrying.

Man of the match Jean Deysel was immense for the Sharks, pilfering numerous balls at the breakdown and being a strong runner in the loose. The Sharks loose forwards will be happy to have matched the Stormers’ trio, both physically and with some good runs.

The Stormers battled at the lineouts, the set piece they were expected to dominate, and with the Sharks having the upper hand at scrum time, the home side got the better of the set pieces.

Many will feel a draw would have been the fairest result as neither team really deserved to win the match more than the other.

Conditions were difficult because of humidity but more was rightfully expected of the match because of the class of player on both sides.

    @the curse-694: Ag shame Poops… The innocent victim…

    Now you making me horny… I love victims…. They are so helpless and ready to be taken advantage of… :lol:

    Poppa we all know your true colours enough to show you no respect. You turn on a dime into a foul mouthed SA basher at the merest hint of self-perceived provocation. We know you will never drop your SA hate, so you reap what you sow on this site.

    @the curse-697: curse lose the chip! My opinion of Maori women (albeit a fabricated one designed to get under your skin) is immaterial in comparison to violence!
    I’ve made my point, you can dish it out pal but you lose your human touch when it comes back to you! You are no better than the so called Apartheid Dutchmen you so readily berate! Reality is you are no better than them, look in a mirror you won’t like what are becoming! Not befitting of your proud and noble Maori heritage and I mean that with all sincerity!

    keep trying HG, not playing the victim at all..

    like I said earlier, I did ask you at the time not to continue, you felt it funny and some sort of cry fro attention..

    it wasnt, but then I suppose your parents are still alive, and you havent had the displeasure of seeing them breathe their last breath..

    I do hope they dont suffer as mine did, it isnt something Id wish on anyone..

    @Vinny Petrol-699: think I’ll pass on that Vinny, I see how visitors are treated here, can only imagine its much worse in person… sad thing is, I know quite a few saffas here and they seem like decent people… but this portal to a vast array of SAs population is off putting..

    @Vinny Petrol-686:

    “having being robbed a few times by black people, yes black people”.

    Vinny, we live in a country where 90% of the population is black, and almost 40% of them live well below the poverty datum line. What do you think the odds are of the criminals being black? :roll:

    The regular Pooper emo explosion is nearly here…

    Wait for it… Its coming.

    This is the Poops cycle:

    First its the “return serve” empowering phase…

    Then its his “tell a story for sympathy” phase…

    Followed by the disempowering “I am but a victim” phase…

    After which it is the “No way out scapegoating” explosion, emo breakdown phase accompanied by many profanities and “I am leaving this site forever” phase…

    After a couple of weeks, Pooper returns with a “heart rending apology” phase and then its back to the first step in the cycle…

    Everytime a coconut… :lol:

    These bragging breker brekgat Sharkishits know they got bailout of a game they could so easily have lost the sweaty relief of grateful embraces at the conclusion to their great get out of jail escape was palpably etched all across their highly relieved and besieged faces at close of play. They were under fire all game long and only the awkwardness of Jantjies insecurity and lacking composure plus the petty handouts Kaplan handed them in strike range after it was their own seasoned cheats at both tight head and loose head bringing the scrum down almost every time that swayed the dour debacle in their home town decisions favor ultimately.

    @Hurricane-695: see my last post apology. Just got tired of Curse just being abusive towards us Saffa’s. proved my point that he can dish it out and but gets all uptight when it comes back to him? Cane and hurricane sorry guys but watching this guy continually dish it out gets my blood going! He probably berates the Aussie’s also on one of their blogs about their treatment of Aboriginal people although he is happy to enjoy the benefits of living there. Not only that there are way more Saffa’s living in OZ than NZ but he fails to mention that! He talks of hypocrisy, ironic don’t you think!

  • 738.the curse: Reply to this comment

    @Heavens Game-723: is that why you felt compelled to apologise, after I posted proof you didnt look at? remember? you changed your tune for a little while, about a day or two then continued on your merry way to mock a death by cancer..

    then you get all precious when I mention Aids?

    whats the difference hg?

    cmon, be honest now, why would I ask you to please stop mocking my mothers death 2 weeks after the event? do you think I might have been a little upset over it?

    but you continue to laugh..

    I may be scum, but that whole scenario shows your true colours

    I’ll say it again, dont ever cross my path.. seriously

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the most aggressive anti Kiwi posters are all Sharks supporters. I think it comes from being confined to a little backwater colony clinging desperately onto the past . :lol:

  • 740.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment

    @NZINCHINA-734: Nope… After yesterday, I know the Sharks in their current guise will have the beating of every side in the comp, bar possibly the Saders at their very very best…

    But the Sharks with Keegan Cullen, Bismarck Battleship and King Alberts the First, are 2nd to no team…

    Yes. I am beginning to be that farken confident… :lol:

    @Vinny Petrol-733: never mocked the aussies at all, they afford me a home and a decent income… you obviously didnt read further back where I stated I was only joking its there, go have a look..

    then Dusky, another fine saffa citizen started in on the women jokes of which you delighted in doing as well.. of course, you didnt read that far back did you?

    @NZINCHINA-725:

    -Fernly hacked the identity of another Poster.
    -He then Posted under that false identity, that Fern (himself) had been killed in a car accident.
    -Keo even had a Tribute Thread, Characterised by Posters saying nice things about a dead guy who in reality was just rabble.
    - Someone who knew Fern personally, saw the Thread, and rang his Sister to offer condolences.

    Then the shiit hit the fan………………………………

    @David-738: Funnily enough most NZ bloggers will tell you the Sharks are their favourite SA team.

    NZINCHINA will tell you it’s the Stormers but most of the rest will name the Sharks.
