I dont think they overcame that pressure thing yet, Ana.... however - as they are playing the Bulls there will be no pressure, the only pressure noteworthy will be the air pressure inside the ball. Rest assured.

I think this may have been said somewhere else, but I personally battle keeping myself from vomiting on the Sharks jersey :twisted:

I hope the Bulls win. I can't remember when last the bulls were not in the final. But I do know it took the sharks 12 years to get back... Only thing is that when the old Natal got to the final for the first time in their history they won it with the ref giving a penalty try and a penalty after that try to Natal. No one on Loftus could believe it. If I remember correctly the referee was not awarded any other currie cup games the next season...

@Samaya, quite a selective memmory you have heh? Remembering such intricate details of a specific game, but not the other general details, such as...

How about last year? (Final between Cheetahs and Lions)
Samaya wrote:But I do know it took the sharks 12 years to get back...
Ahem!? What about 1999 (vs Lions), 2000 (vs WP), 2001 (vs WP), 2003 (vs Bulls)?
The Sharks haven't WON the cup since 1996, true. But they've played 4 finals since.
Samaya wrote:Only thing is that when the old Natal got to the final for the first time in their history
You were around in 1956?
You probably mean the first time they WON the Cup, in 1990.
Samaya wrote:they won it with the ref giving a penalty try and a penalty after that try to Natal. No one on Loftus could believe it.
IIRC the Penalty after the last try (NOT the penalty try) was given because a Bulls player dived on top of Tony Watson after he scored the try, and it was kicked over from the center spot.

I wouldn't be so sure of your memmory to tell you the truth ;)
Maybe the ref. quit refereeing?

:mrgreen:
PS. Hope you don't take offence. I'm not having a go at you, or insulting you. Just pointing out a few points that you have forgotten in your Bulls supporting ignorance :P

If I remember correctly the reason why those tries / penalties were given were very valid and within the rules.
The rules say shaft the Bulle if you get a chance.
I see no problem here.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Well so ar i have seen that the bulls said 3 times that the ref must crew them over.......
Why is it always the ref with the blue bulls?????????


Yea refs do have give us hard times but how many times has a ref been agains us ( Springboks) and we still came out on top. Every team has shown that the ref is just there to keep the game clean he cant always see everything.

SHARKS forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sjame....
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
