    Weather for the Loftus clash, clear skies, 15 degrees C, 2km/h wind.

    As good as you can ask for.

    Not that it should make any difference to how they play, but they will know the result of the first game, so they will know if they are playing for a home final or not.

    Bulls pack a full 61kg heavier than Sharks. And it showed in the first scrum.

    Christ. Bulls have been demolishing the Sharks scrum against the head, then they do that.

    TMO reverses the try for offside, but surely Brace has to award Bulls for such a dominant scrum before that?

    Sharks have been utterly brutal so far. Scrum has been demolished and they can barely go two phases without fumbling or getting turned over.

    Poor Hendrikse with that awful error leading to the try. Must have been that cramp again.

    You'd imagine its going to get worse for Sharks as the match goes on. They have no real options to come off the bench compared to Bulls. Etzebeth getting injured mid week has really screwed them

    Sharks are the most headless, poorly coached team in the comp.

    Is that a yellow ? Can it go to the bunker and be upgraded to a 20 min red? Or is 20 min red not in urc?

    Sharks are a rabble. Extra time hangover doesn't account for this disgrace of a performance.

    Sharks have had an awful first half. Unforgivable to butcher that brief two man advantage.

    Sharks cant score against 13 man Bulls. Cant kick their penalties. Surely take 3 points here. In the middle.

    Edit: nope, sideline again.

    Bulls with three yellows this half.

    This game is a farce

    Bulls just back up to 14 men then another yellow, back down to 13.

    Brace has done very well in that first half considering the ill discipline

    The sharks are abysmal. Brace reffing very well.

    Sharks repeatedly botching scoring attempts against 13 men. They're pure shite

    Dreadful game. Am should not be on the pitch, he's awful.

    Bull's going for a record yellow haul by the look of it.

    If the Sharks somehow manage to win this then Leinster is going to walk it.

    Think the Bulls are the only team who can put it up to them, if they can keep 15 players on the field.
