Sharks were ghastly vs the Reds. Should be a man shaming like nothing we have seen prior.

Brumbies vs Sharks

When....tomorrow.

Doesn't seem like there is much interest in this match.

Shit official match thread, Sards this is absolutely abysmal

This should be worth 2 weeks in the bin

Maybe one of the more reputable Shark supporters on here should have the honors, does Ox Wagon do many official threads?

Beaver Shark?

Oh yes, he is a pretty good fantasy pundit as well

Jean-Luc Du Preez

Or perhaps one of our esteemed Brumbies fans can do one?

I hope sharks up their game - will go to the jaguares game next month and don't want it to be a cripple fight

TALK ABOUT RUGBY FFS

I AM NOT INTERESTED in your travel plans or how your sensibilities are affected by the layout of a match thread.
Where have all the rugby men gaone.

And you had the nerve to comment about my match thread.

Ox usually waits until his team has a few wins under their belt before he starts posting

I did not watch the game against the Reds, so difficult to call. I did watch the Brumbies and they were much better than was expected. Brumbies at home will be tough for the Sharks and my gut feel is they will edge the Sharks in a close game.

The frenchy was beyond poor last week yet was awarded a start.

We were better than I expected, although we still need a 10.

Are there no Brumbies fans? It's shameful that it took one of the away fans to finally start this thread.

Team as expected. Both our fullbacks last week were shocking, but keen to see what the Frenchman can do in a full game.

That was 13 years ago but still quite funny.

He was a great player at Toulouse, hopefully he can bring some of that magic on Saturday.

Let's be honest though, we haven't had a decent 15 since Montgomery

There are plenty, but Sards jumped the gun and started this shit show of a thread.

oh fudge off......................

feck me but he is shite......I miss Willie already

Gareth April was an excellent 15.

Garth April was better

Fvck You Sards!

Should have persisted with Bosch. That Frenchie was horrible when he came on, did nothing to deserve a start.

Force beat the Reds....what does that say?

Force have put together an improved squad and are playing for their very existence as a club?

Possibly but not what I was looking for.

Unchanged.

Hopefully Hawera and Toua can sort their shit out, but I'm not remotely confident. Would like to see Godwin, JJH or Jooste starting at 10 with Jooste or Banks at 15. How Banks, JJH and Jooste can have failed even to make the bench is just beyond my understanding.

The other player who shouldn't have been left out is Ben Hyne. He'd be my starting eightman, especially after his performance at the 10s. Hopefully he gets a run sooner rather than later.

Steyn.

Jooste is injured...

I can only assume the reason why Thompson has got the nod over JJH is to cover goal kicking if Hawera goes down... otherwise JJH actually has more Super Rugby experience, and is a far superior player.

JJH and Hyne have been named in the Brumby Runners side at 10 and 8 respectively for their Sunday match against Sydney Uni.

Ox bait!

Oh righto. Badly? Any idea when he's back?

Good news re: JJH playing flyhalf for the Runners.

Godwin can kick goals can't he? Fardy definitely used to be able to. Don't understand the obsession with only having backs kick goals, I remember the Brumbies having Julian Huxley spraying them all over the pitch, while radar-boot Salvi was in the starting side, sitting around with his thumb up his arse.

It is very early in the season for Sards to be presenting as the benchmark broken man.

Here's hoping it's merely early round wobbles and he regains a modicum of mojo sharpish.

Dearest Mungoman.......please go feck yourself

When is this match........

That information should be in the OP of this match thread...
