Round six of the 2013 Super Rugby season sees a showdown between South African powerhouse the Sharks and relative newcomers Melbourne Rebels at Kings Park. We’ll have live scores and commentary from 2.05am AEDT.
The Sharks have been solid so far this season, chalking up victories over the Cheetahs, Stormers and Southern Kings while only tasting defeat against the unbeaten Brumbies.
While the Sharks boast the likes of Springbok backs Lwaza Mvovo, Odwa Undangane and Patrick Lambie, the side have struggled for tries this season and have often fallen victim to their own overcomplications on the field.
Coming off the 29-10 loss to the Brumbies, Sharks management are asking the players to deliver ‘a performance we can be proud of’.
Whether this will yield more five-pointers or not we will only learn once the first whistle blows.
Melbourne Rebels have only one win to their name so far this season, a round one defeat of a lacklustre Western Force outfit.
While the Rebels have seen the return from injury of James O’Connor they have not been able to convert their potential on paper into success on the field.
This week should see the return of captain Gareth Delve and one of the main finishers for the Rebels, NRL convert and two-time Wallaby Cooper Vuna.
While the Rebels haven’t been firing on all cylinders this season the will be hoping to get back on track with a win over the Sharks, but this will be no mean feat at a packed Kings Park against a Sharks side looking for a big win with lots of tries.
I can’t see the Rebels pack, even with the hopeful return of Delve, overcoming the Sharks forwards who will look to destroy the Australian outfit at the breakdown and unleash their flying backs out wide.
Sorry Melbourne fans but I have the Sharks winning this one by more than seven.

Sharks are going to win this competition this year. You wait and see….
Bismark still needs to come back to bulk up that pack, plus Alberts and Deysel!! And Whitehead in at cover for 12.
1 bad game against the Brumbies last week doesn’t make a bad team, it signals a Wake Up call.
LionHeart Daniel was suburb again tonight.

They are killing rugby by removing the physicality which is what makes rugby rugby,just run up & over the tackler & chances are you will get a penalty your way,its going to become like that ”moffie” sport called soccer.

Players need to use those weight belts the divers use.
If they heavy and slow enough, there won’t be any lifting.

K.Reinach & N.Groom are way way better than F.Houggard,If boks want to do well they must get rid of all the bulls including H.Meyer,Bulls mentality is wasting our talent selection,your view BB?

Agree Felix, Hougaard does have talent, but it is wasted under Ludeke

Out of the 3 yellow cards, only 1 deserved a penalty and NONE were anywhere near yellow.
This is seriously getting out of hand, Im so angry. The people that control the game, havnt got a clue.
3:00am
Hightackle said | 3:00am | Report comment
That yellow card is ridiculous.
The refs are going waaaaaaaaaaaaay overboard.
I dont think he lifted him past the horizontal anyway.
Pathetic.
That wasnt even worth a penalty.
Hey reffs, thanks for ruining rugby.

Doesnt mater BB,they are giving the rebels a deadly shark bite,I reckon brumbies would struggle against the sharks this week but what’s gone is gone,I doubt the bulls will feature anywhere this year.
2:54am
biltongbek said | 2:54am | Report comment
Yeah the Brumbies loss might just be the catalyst that wakes up this Sharks side.

biltongbek said | 2:37am | Report comment
Of all the yellow cards we have seen today that one wins the nobel prise for sissyism.

Profoundly soft. So many borderline cards in a single round, can only think the refs are playing to some direction from above.
2:53am
biltongbek said | 2:53am | Report comment
Might be, the problem is they are setting a standard that really questions these directives from above
3:03am
AndyS said | 3:03am | Report comment
Indeed. It has always annoyed me how they suddenly seem to get all enthusiastic about one particular aspect of the game, then two weeks later they don’t care again. All anyone really needs is consistency in interpretation week-to-week, game-to-game and irrespective of which teams are playing, Sometimes seems we can’t even get consistency half-to-half or end-to-end.

Sharks are playing 2day no doubt about that,they couldnt loose 2 in a row at home.

Which team do u support BB?
2:35am
biltongbek said | 2:35am | Report comment
The Boks mate.
Provincial wise I support indicidual players, I don’t identify with any particular team.

Interesting…. I too have lived in all the major cities….. but my allegiance has always been with the WP, If you refuse to pick a side – my guess is that youre a Lions supporter

Well, now that makes me look down my nose, Coetzee makes an offload and the Sharks complete a move.

I wonder whether Marcel Coetzee is ever going to make a pass in his pro career.
