Shark Attack

Last night I was initiated into the world of South African rugby with a visit to the Absa Stadium to watch the Sharks play the Auckland Blues in the Super 14s. We were in the nose bleed seats - way up in the stands where the beer assisted atmosphere was great. The Sharks had scored before we had even reached our seats and then went on to trounce the Blues in the first half. The Blues fought back in the second half and I had great fun cheering and booing along with he crowd. Obviously I had very little clue about what was actually happening on the field - but the Sharks won so who cares!
