3 areas proving the difference here, the scrum, the scrum and oh yeah, the scrum. Not sure du Toit is 100% legal but it's always about what you get away with and we need a solution quick. We do look good with the ball but badly needed a lead at the break. Very much uphill from here. #SHAvLEI

We don't win this if we don't sort that out, but looking at the respective benches I'm not optimistic.

#SHAvLEI

Frustrating to concede on half time. Sharks' advantage at scrum time, for all that I'd quibble over a few decisions, has been the decisive factor so far. Around the park we've looked good but as soon as its scrum time we're getting marched downfield.

Cockwaffler is the word of the day..this applies to...answers obvious send below..
#SHAVLEI

This game is a classic example of a ref deciding early on who's at fault in the scrum, and then basing all his scrum calls off that early impression. Du Toit more at fault than Clarkson there but it's Clarkson who's carded.

TDT’s elbow hits the ground. Clarkson binned #SHAvLEI

It’s not scrum dominance Bernard, it’s a spoof of a referee manufacturing situations #SHAvLEI

I hate scrums. What a load of nonsense. #SHAvLEI

Imagine if Porter was consistently refereed the way TDT is. #SHAvLEI

Keep our discipline simple to say but this sharks team will present ample opportunities for us to score
#SHAVLEI

Drop goal attempt from Gabriel was...awry, to say the least, but brilliant chase to put the Sharks under pressure after. Sharks, you'd have to say, were far too casual there.

#SHAvLEI

We're competing well in most facets of the game but the scrum is becoming a major problem. Clarkson and Kelleher being given a tough time. Discipline in general needs to improve. Gifting Sharks too many easy exits and entries to our 22.

Try for Sharks as Manu Tshituka goes over from the back of a scrum. Vusi Moyo converts.

#SHAvLEI

Stransky needs to stfu re scrums stick to drop goals #SHAVLEI

Kelleher has been a disciplinary liability. Three soft penalties in the first 25 minutes.

Craig Evans show ahaha you utter wank stain #SHAvLEI

Andrew Porter and Conor O'Tighearnaigh get underneath the Sharks ball-carrier to hold them up over the line but we're going back for a penalty to the home side.
