Sharks vs Zebre

If anyone is interested . . .

You'd think the Sharks will win this one comfortably . . . but they are the Sharks so who knows?

Sharks backs don't seem to be able to throw a single accurate pass . . . AE the latest guilty one as he throws a pass to no-one and the attack breaks down.

Jaco Williams in for the Sharks after good work by Bradley Davids. Very close to the touchline but it's given and it doesn't look like it's being checked. Moyo just shaves the wrong side of the upright with the conversion.

5-0.

Came back to see Zebre have scored. It's 7-5 to the Italians.

I have occasional visuals. And unfortunately audio.

Short lineout and Siya busts through almost untouched to score. Sharks back in the lead.

Moyo converts. 12-7.

Yes, the audio is unfortunate. This woman hasn't a clue.

Siyaya shows some magic and scores. Good step and good pace. 19-7. About the only piece of good rugby we've seen so far.

Vusi Moyo has been very neat in everything he's done so far but he hasn't attempted a single break.

Siyaya looks a real prospect.

Naughty left arm that doesn't want to wrap.

Zebre defender is out cold. Think we may have a long break here. It's the sub Martin Roger.

No, he's up but will go off for a HIA. Zebre running out of backs.

Esterhuizen takes a half gap but can't offload. Another penalty for the Sharks and now the Zebre scrummie is given a yellow.

The Sharks have an attacking lineout as the half time hooter goes . . .. the maul is over and Siya scores his second of the match.

That's half time. 26-7 to the Sharks.

Sharks cruising this.

Jaco Williams is over but can't hold on. No try. Really not much to report on as the Sharks are making heavy weather of it against 14 men.

AE muscles it forward and then it goes wide to Moyo who scores.

Moyo converts and it's 33-7.

Manu Tshituka scores, Moyo converts and it's 40-7.

Gesi scores for Zebre and it's 40-14.

Now AE creates a try for Malan. 47-14.

Not sure who Malan is on for . . . I've been watching more of the Giro d'Italia than this game.

AE creates another try for replacement scrummie Braude. Jean Smith converts. 54-14.

Now Zebre maul it over and Quattrini scores.

54-19.

Well saw an Esterhuizen try just now which will please Plumpster.

Now wee sharks get mailed by Zebre and go over to score.

But gups well ahead on scoreboard.

Any standout out players?

There's the hooter and Williams kicks it out. Final score 54-19.

Who's next, Bulls?

Esterhuizen and Siyaya were the standout players for me. Siya Kolisi also got two tries.

Siya Kolisi named MotM in what was his last game for the Sharks.

At last!
