Sharks vs Ospreys . . .

Another nice touch-finder from Masuku.

Giliomee looks a bit like and plays a bit like McKenzie.

That's just about all she wrote as the Sharks have a scrum on the Osprey's line to close the game...

Sharks should be in but it's dropped.

There's the hooter.

That's the game.

41-24.

It was just Ospreys but well done Sharks. I'm happy.

Impressive from the Sharks. Much more robust team, energy good and great young talent. Missing quite a few Boks as well.
So far all our franchise sides looking good. Let's see what the Bulls have without their Boks.

A good display by the Sharks - especially Moyo and Giliomee, - I had Giliomee in my fantasy team and he delivered the goods, But in Round 2 I believe the Sharks are now going the right way by playing 15 man rugby - but can they beat Leinster.

I think the end of backline play will just not happen - even with Hooker's return. They will bring back Fassie, Williams and St Esterhuizen - enough to destroy any backline attacking play. Leinster lost by one point against the Lions - but they have a much stronger team to play and that is followed in Round 3 against the Lions,

A win against Ospreys is good - an improvement on the forgettable 2025-26 series - but it is too early to indicate whether it is sustainable, , .
