Dawn dazzled by Sharks

The Bulls are never easy to play against and I expected a really physical encounter at Fortress Loftus.

The match started with the usual trading of penalty kicks. SP nailed 2 long range kicks beautifully and has really improved on his game. The Sharks were poor in the scrums and will need to work on that area in the week.

I want to talk a little bit about Lwazi and S’bura. These guys were absolutely amazing. The interception of a pass by Mvovo and subsequent try was a thing of beauty. The incredible pace shown by him once again, reminds us that he is truly Bok material and our National Coach best wake up! S’bura was also outstanding on attack and defence. His try in the corner sealed the fate of the Bulls. The Bulls really struggled to pull themselves together after the Mvovo try. Their lineouts was absolutely rubbish.

Bulls were also terrible at the breakdown and our boys were so determined to win, that they put their bodies on the line and were truly committed in every phase of play. More importantly, every time the Bulls made a mistake, the boys pounced and made the most of the opportunities presented to them. Tera has made me so very proud. He shows outstanding leadership and gives 200% every week. He truly has earned his Man of the Match award.

What inspired me about this ‘against the odds performance’, was the commitment shown by every Sharks player to the team and jersey. They are starting to #Believe and I am enormously proud of my babies this week-end. The journey from good to great, continues darling boys!
