@S_K-366: I reckon it was pretty even between the 10's. The Greeks seems a good prospect and Lambies kicking game has sharpened up...good news all round for Bok rugby!

@@whistle@blower@-362: lol, why aren't we a little tetchy just because someone deemed to suggest that the Kings can beat the Stormers?..... Sharks beat the Stormers and the Kings...... Stormers v Kings will be a battle between the losers, and I reckon the Kings may just have the edge! Now relax, ok?

I watched the game again now , the kings lack skill , brains , experience and mostly leadership. I think Luke should have been called up earlier. They have buckets of guts and passion but that will not be good enough for them to stay off the bottom of the log.

The skills department is a worry as I reckon their starting 15 might be able but who else is there ? The experience will come and hopefully with that the brains. Next week Watson is back but I really hope they find place for that current 8th man as well.

The sharks were really diabolical , I think maybe they underestimated the kings a little and wanted to rush things too much , they lacked patience, Deysel when he is not injured is a very good player , problem is he is always injured. The plus side for the Shraks is that they have at least 3 top players on the comeback and all 3 are boks and their captain !

Surprisingly I thought the Greek outplayed Lambie , How WP let him go is beyond me , he is actually a lot more like Honiball than most realize , fearless tackler.

Lastly is it just me but how the heck did Schalk VDM get the MOTM award ? He ave away crucial penalties including one where he rushed a penalty kick resulting in lambie getting a second chance after he actually missed the first !! Thats a gift 3 points !! He cannot scrum since his U21 days at WP , we all know it. He is very good in the loose but it was not good enough to make up.

I said back then that he should rather play hooker as he is too weak for a loosehead.

BOOM BOOM BOOM Sharks still have won all 3 of their games. Records will show 3 consecutive wins. Doesn’t matter how.

In saying that, the Kings played far better than I expected. Would have loved total annihilation, but was not to be.

Going to be interesting to see if the Kings will be able to maintain this style of play and how the other SA teams go against them.

what kind of stupid question is this where do I stand on the all time 400 mts list? what goddamn non relevance has that to the question being posed here as to how fast an athlete Jaco Reinach was in terms of outright speed or endurance around one lap of the track? – Nothing obviously, can only come from a sharkshit such stupid non relevant non compos mentis reasoning. Nowhere else.

Jaco Reinach lies jointly 246th fastest 400 mts in the world with about 6 or 7 other runners at 45.01 sec. Which means there probably 1000 athletes world wide who have run 400 mts faster. The USA have produced about the top 20 400 mts athletes with Johnson Reynolds and Warriner plus the new 18 year old kid Kirani James would have left Reinach trailing about 15 – 20 mts behind.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-158: Indeed. What great support and what an effort from them. They didn't let up at all. It could easily have gone their way...

Well done to the Sharks. Well done Lambie for pulling them through.
Hearty congratulations to the Kings. To Cheeky, Solly, Matt and all the players and management. With less time to prepare than the Force or the Rebels and more pressure to succeed in a single season they have already succeeded beyond most expectations but more importantly have produced a quality competitive brand of positive entertaining rugby. Not only are they NOT the embarrassment to South Africa that so many naysayers predicted but they have certainly done South African rugby proud in terms of showing Australia how to successfully launch a new rugby franchise. Very well done to all concerned.

@ryecatcher-356:
Rye, it was a very good weekend for SA rugby, so we can ALL enjoy this one

The Sharks are 3 from 3 and 2 were away wins, so it’s still looking good from that point of view.

@BrumbiesBoy-352:
You know what BB. That year they were chasing that record that stood since the 60′s, I think. That whole season there was a guy, I think he was Johan Oosthuizen or some such name, who won nearly all the races. That night, when Jaco broke the record, was about the only race in which he beat Oosthuizen in that season.

Good on him. He never was the best 400m athlete. He had one brilliant race. He broke the SA record in that race. He became a Bok wing against the Cavaliers and scored a magic try using his speed. But he was never a great athlete nor a great rugby player.

He had SOME speed, or a lot, and that was all.

You guys romantisize the players of the 80′s WAYYYYYYY too much. Remember, those players lost against a Jaquar team that had only ONE world class player in the team.

How do you explain that?

In 1989, they beat a saamgeflanste “world team” by a mere 2 points.

How do you explain that? Should they not have run away with a “world team.” Given that SA were playing some of their best ever back line players in the likes of Naas, Danie, Carel, Heunis etc?

@nama1-342: That may well be Nama, but WHO held the SA 400m sprint record for many, many years?
