Ian Jones is doing the presentation and introduces himself very enthusiastically. He thanks the refs and calls up all the Sharks players individually. Really having a tough time of the name pronunciation though haha. John Plumtree gets a good cheer from the crowd. Keegan Daniel is gracious in defeat and congratulates the Chiefs on an unbelievable performance. The players receive rapturous applause as they are individually called out to receive their commemorative mugs. Craig Clarke acknowledges the Sharks and says they should be very proud of how far they came with all their travelling. He also mention Bismark’s 100th game, nice touch Craig. He even congratulates the refs, the crowd boos them though haha. He thanks the crowd and all the support the staff. The trophy is presented by Christian Nicks from Investec and The Chiefs start their celebrations. Well done Chiefs!

Chiefs 37-6 Sharks Fulltime
Thanks Elisha and thanks everyone for reading. Look forward for a great inaugural Rugby Championship. Well done Chiefs, hope I see a few more of them playing for the All Blacks. Congrats to that Sharks as well on a stellar season and all the other teams as well. For me this has been one of the best Super Rugby season ever (maybe not for the Aussie teams though). But it was great to see the brand of rugby being championed by less fancied sides like The Cheetahs and Hurricanes causing a stir against the big guns.

Clarke is not the most articulate speaker in the world but he says the plan was to not let in any tries… mission accomplished Craig! Congrats

Keegan Daniel says it all just came down to taking opportunities,.. it would’ve helped if you were able to create some opportunities as well Keegan.

80′ The commentators mention a possible system where teams will have a week off before the final to make it fair. The Sharks really could’ve used that week but at the end of the day, they had to travel because they didn’t play as well as some of the other teams all through the season and got themselves 6th on the Ladder.

78′ Cruden pops over the extras to hammer the final nail in the coffin.

76′ SBW fittingly goes over for a final try, untouched after some good work from Willison and leaps over the boarding into the crowd to celebrate.

74′ The Sharks were unfortunately not at their best tonight but you can only play as well as the opposition allows. The Chiefs have been absolutely immense. They’ve bullied the Sharks into submission and while their intensity wasn’t alway applied legally the score line is still a fair reflection of the match.

73′ Messam break through from the kickoff and charges upfield. He links with Cruden then Tikiroituma but the Sharks defence does well to get back and turn it over. Viljoen is on now and clears. The Chiefs take it quick though and are really looking to finish strong here.

69′ Leonard on the park now and he’s looking to add a bit of spark to proceedings with a few good balls. The Chiefs look carefree here and are trying their hail mary moves.

67′ The Sharks plug away now outside the Chiefs 22m. The Chiefs defence is fresh and enthusiastic though, they haven’t been challenged tonight and they hold firm. The Sharks again can’t control the ball and the Chiefs pounce and counter well. Its clear a few of the Sharks players have had enough over being belted by the Chiefs and are starting to rollover in contact. Even Keegan Daniel is looking intimidate by the Chiefs physicality.

I was just about to change Cheats back to Chiefs but I think I’ll leave it for another 10mins.

63′ Puzzling change sees Pieterson replaced by Bosman and SBW puts a rediculous charge on Lambie. Thats one Butch James will be proud of. Welsh stays quiet… unbelievable.

63′ The Sharks have been the best second half in the comp but I think this might just be one task too many. They’ll really need something brilliant to come back from here.
Chiefs v Sharks: Super Rugby Final live scores, blog
A big hit blindsides Daniel as he was passing and the ball went free. Masaga pounced brilliantly and breezed past Lambie at the back to go over.

58′ The Sharks try to play from inside their own half now. Ludik does well, he’s been strong tonight. But the Sharks inevitable knock on, it’s just not their night tonight.

58′ The Chiefs ring the changes now. Sane Cane and Masage take the field.

55′ Jordaan does well again on the midfield. He’s impressed tonight against a touch opponent in SBW. Haha i’ve cursed him though as he throws the ball away under pressure. The Sharks been guilty of “shoveling sh**” a few times tonight.

The Chiefs nearly hit straight back but Cruden misses a touch one from the touch line.

Deysel and Sykes come on now as Michalak knocks over 3 points. Kankowski coming off though.. he’s probably been the Sharks best player.

Chiefs 13-3 Sharks
50′ Mvovo gets his first touch from a forward looking pass. Refs being consistent in not calling it. The Shakrs make in roads now but are still looking lost out wide. Attacking through individuals with no organised structure. Thompson rips the ball from Kankowski well and Cruden chips from inside his 22m. Poor option there and the Sharks win a penalty.
