back okay ladies and gents here we
go back in the oh my God what happened
there I’m back in
another steel frame Tower called another
game of rugby I was
here no calling another game I’ve just
been asked uh by someone if I’m going to
be as vocal and as loud as an energetic
as the uh the guy calling the Tigers
game in the Prem Final West Asia Prem
final last week I don’t think anyone
anyone could quite give as much energy
as that man I hope he’s still he’s
probably still recovering anyway here we
are division one
semifinal sharks playing in navy blue
kicking from left to right with tigers
in
there absolutely glistening white and
red
Kit going to try and be as uh neutral as
possible for for this
game and I hope we have a slightly more
fluid game than we had last
night at home sharks kick off it’s gone
nice and deep oh and it’s been fumbled
but it has gone backwards
that Tigers player is going to want to
get his hands on the ball nice and
quickly again and get that out of his
memory for anyone who’s wondering what
the weather is doing another drop there
this time from Garin who then kicks the
ball right deep into the corner it’s not
going to find touch but it is going to
be right in the pocket oh
and that is a 5022 but I think the
Tigers player was bundled into touch
anyway but the referee’s got his arm
out to suggest it’s a tiger’s
ball
um wait and see we haven’t unfortunately
I haven’t got Kirby next to me with his
ear in the
um the referees here but I think you can
hear the referees can can they they
can’t hear the referees no no you won’t
be able to hear the referees either so
we’re all going to have to try and uh
navigate this game together
so if I miss anything or if you think
I’m chatting rubbish and I might need to
get the ru book out give us a shout on
the live chat tell us where you’re
watching
from going back to the weather is a
lovely Cool Breeze off my right shoulder

and then moving into the big game Tigers
looking to dominate in the prims versus
dragons this afternoon the semifinal
after a big win last week but um yeah
this should be a good game Charlie I
think yeah definitely you guys got the
upper hand um early on in the season
with which which was uh which was a hot
and sweaty event at the beginning of the
season um so sharks will have that in
their in their
memory yeah I think the uh Tigers had a
couple of winds on the bounce lately uh
not sure about the Sharks obviously done
pretty well they got a very big pack we
haven’t played for I don’t think we’
played for two months yeah I think the
Tigers have been out we didn’t even get
to train this week cuz the uh the access
to the tigers den was a bit water
logged yeah oh bradden from the Gold
Coast the T the the ref he hasn’t seen
that oh the touch he’s p calling it in
yeah he marks it again Braden wants him
up the number number one you got to be
on your feet tell Patti
vaki I’ll just read the teams out
quickly we got alip Patti at one syono f
Johnny bowler Hugh kaver Vice Captain
today the man from belfar Sam cross
ashin October from Johannesburg wand Del
Tor makes the seven Max pendry he’s been
injured for a while normally a Prem

Bahrain um for the Prem team and 16 the
bench big bench here today for the ties
y Callum maai the ex prison guard from
Scotland Ben Rothwell the teacher over
in the springs there Mohammad El toy he
comes from Egypt Amica Bai his brother
was playing first grade but did his knee
in twice this year Reese Jones under
18’s backing up from last night and
Ruben curtsy and Ben Bailey to make out
the 22 I’ll hand it over to Charlie for
his team then we say of the
sponsors that was very much like
listening to Billy Birmingham there I
thought there was going to be a couple
of tongue twists as like a Stacy a Stacy
Jones thrown in there with especially
with that Tigers front
row I quite I haven’t got quite a
clipboard on me as sharks look to uh
impose some early dominance there with a
good scrum and then great setpiece line
out oh and G with the show and go but
it’s just been popped I would have
thought that’s gone forward
unfortunately and now there’s a
break it’s it’s a shark’s penalty I’d
imagine they’ll be going into the into
the corner again so at one the man with
the voluptuous der air Sam white Mikey
zanon uh throwing in the darts and then
another voluptious botttom with Roger
Zimbo in the uh in the other prop
position probably the longest standing
uh second row pairing in sharks history
now is uh Gaz and
Bryce and then we’ve got Captain
sandulli with Ben Renton at seven and
then uh I’m going to re I’m going to
fluff up the surname again so I’m just
going to say big
Andrew Elliot methin back into the side
after a couple of months off with an
injury unfortunately Lewis has got
himself injured so Elliot walks straight
back into to take the nine jersey and
then our Welsh Welsh fly half Garen
Roberts
uh with Stu and Nick in the centers on
the wing we’ve got Chris Collins Reed
and Daz Johnson with tan at 15 and then
the bench we’ve got the Aussie Max
plotter Stenner will
James Marie Adam Dunn and Josh IES makes
an appearance on the bench don’t know if
we’ll see him later on that’s not gone
straight and that’ll be a tiger’s
ball yeah good dominance here from the
sharks
Tigers what do they say they are calming
the
storm it’s a big front row big packs
today number four from the from the uh
sharks he’s
massive the number eight is it a number
eight the numbers a bit elongated up
there in the forward pack stretched a
bit they reckon our number eight he’s
stretched around isn’t it a number eight
a
formidable good scrum by tigers Max up
the back he gives it away sh to the 10
the 10 over the top the big th under the
post Jack yeah just Don Q Big M Andrew
Vogal what’s your uh what’s your South
African like how are you pronouncing
South African names you you do the
Pacific Islanders quite well I can’t do
the South Africans but big Andrews over
there just popped up in the tackle and
it fell into the arms of Garin who then
pops it to Andrew and just right on Q la
launches himself under the
posts and that is a shark try nice work
good early pressure from the Sharks
kicking into the wind into that
corner and some early dominance has
turned into
points and T makes that an extra two
and that’s that Ball’s over into the car
park good pressure from the sharks strm
there just looking looking to uh disrupt
the tiger set
piece wait boys wait no City penties
that’s that’s not on
first fit is not happy with the with a
Dropout but it has
gone we take the scrum
than got the just knocked off the legs
of rents there unfortunately so it will
be a tiger’s line or it’s a scrum was
that a knock on first yeah knocked it on
I am known to be quite blind while
watching and calling a game of
rugby another big scrum for Tigers here
F first bit of ball outside the half
about 30 out from the Sharks Line This
scrum might mean the
day yeah screwed already huge pressure
huge pressure good ball Leo wad cwell he
goes behind he doesn’t call it a decoy
Runner GTH out to
Leo the argentinan connection to pton
pton goes down they tar will look to
come back this way good Runners one to
Hugh he’s left
alone Tigers will be lucky here Leo
another flat ball to Johnny
FNA Tommy he puts his head down the
young fell he only
22 on the 22 Gareth Johnny one out
running by the Tigers they’re not quick
to the breakdown
today there’s leo1 the argentinan bull
here he comes Max over the ball quick
ball bad pass by Gareth Leo can’t G down
that
far good d by the
Sharks I was just going to say some
really nice ball retention there from
the Tigers but they just unfortunately
forced the issue a little bit with that
pass didn’t quite go to hands and sharks
were pancing on that in their defense
yeah nice solid defense getting tested
from both both edges of the
pitch and we’re going to see a sharks
ball in between the 22 and the
10 Tigers want to stay here that we knew
they’d come out a bit Rusty they’ve had
no training this week it’s been it’s
been water loged down here the
celebration from winning the uh West
Asia Premiership last week got a bit out
of hand training got called off Tuesday
but the boys are back into it one game
to go it’s a big day for the Tigers
crowds just building up slowly we’re not
at capacity like we were last week 5,000
down here in the sun last week for a
huge game in Tigers history in their
10th
year another big scrum for the Sharks
they’re up for it today he going to be a
bit of heat up front I’d
reckon Liam cwell number 12 he’s been on
holidays could be playing
Prem the Argentinian back three well two
of the back three come a long way for a
game one the second one ju grigas and
then number 15 nacho
contar found a job a couple of months
ago so it’s good to see got the VIS
assorted the coach Tiger’s coach is old
old Kieran and um Mr perso 67 test for
uh Italy and Kieran out a few games for
uh randwick back in Sydney up the
Eastern suburbs in God’s country as he
calls it they lay down the LW today it’s
not going to you’re not going to win it
in the first
minute as Ricky Bobby said in t of
knights if you’re not first last and
that’s a penalty that’s a great scrum by
sharks just untiy at the moment
[Music]
Tigers you know we say it’s where all
these teams that come down to tigers den
this wind plays into the hands in the
second half of the team running out of
the uh of the deal and towards Abu Dhabi
that’s good off the ground that’s that’s
meters by a wad here we go Tommy good
ball is’s he offside sir one you don’t
need to do
that good clean out
there shark solid in
defense meter at a
time Johnny’s had a look and he’s
dropped it
cold oh that’s offside to Tigers Leo
leave it alone the big number one fires
it out he’s goes
left yeah just watching a couple of
sharks players have taken a couple of
big hits they’re they’re getting onto
their feet quite gingery and they have
just stopped the play there for for a
medical
attention both Medics on the pitch
straight
away and I’m just trying to see who that
might be that’s probably Gaz actually to
be fair he’s always the first person to
get injured and it is I think Big G
pretty serious yeah a move he’s no uh
he’s no I wouldn’t be surprised if he
gets up and Carries On he is no stranger
to a to an
injury and he’s paint him green and
leave him
there well his fiance is on on scene uh
straight away to check is’s all right he
got a wedding to go to in the well he’s
got his own wedding to go to in the
summer so um I mean you can’t you can’t
polish a turd but perhaps we can sort of
cover him in glitter oh he doesn’t look
good he doesn’t look good this could be
big new USS for the Sharks we hope he’s
well the welfare of the players is
upmost here in the
UAE we got physios coming from all
around don’t know what actually happened
there if someone’s giving him a bit of a
nudge up
high oh yeah he’s
got looks like Eddie Murphy with those
feet dancing
around he should be all right he’ll be
back up in the game in a minute be
surprised ref are having a bit of a chat
touchies are
in coaches are on the field for the
Tigers they’re laying down the L they
allowed on the
field I’m I’m sure they are I don’t have
the rule book up here yeah yeah yeah
yeah 18 minutes in coaches on
that is his fiance doing the the mouth
to mouth there yeah are you okay make
sure the blood pressure’s uh all good
and the Heart rate’s going
around just check down in in his
underpants make sure he’s got some blood
flow there and he’ll be
fine fio is having a chat with the ref
what’s happened there there could be a
bit of AR VY
I just re I think it was just a bit of a
maybe caught on the wrong side of the of
the tackle fair enough but he’s not
happy and I don’t know if he’s been
called off uh no he’s all right he’s
straight back in there I didn’t know I
didn’t know if he’d be uh checked for
his for his head but I think it’ll just
be no he’s off I think hi he’s off well
there’s no hiia is there so he’ll be
considered concussion and then and he’s
throwing his mouth guard it’s hit the B
Arab he’s not
happy the big fell is not happy he’ll
pass it
over the big number four we’re only
talking him about talking about him on
the 10-minute line he makes some
horrific noises when he when he tackles
people well the people he tackles make
noises he is one heavy hitter so that is
definitely Advantage Tigers sounds like
that sounds like one of those kids in
the stands last week capacity crowd I
got a a six-year-old making an owl
noise gave him the heg had to reject
them can concentrate up here in the CB
short for commentary box big scrum
Tigers that’s not straight that’s the
whe around the sharks there the goal
nowhere 10 12 gone through great tackle
around the boot laes by
Leo sharks they could have gone quick
left then oh that’s good low tackle who
was that one the Argentinian The Nine’s
pointing two’s going to be singled out
here he’s been absolutely that by Johnny
fugan architect sorry
accountant sharks doing all the small
things right hu big tackle sharks make
three they go wide giving it too early
12 looks for space he gives a no
ball oh no he’s kicked it backwards
what’s he thinking oh Max what a tackle
target has been taken out it’s a penalty
who run the
wi ah comedy of error is that from the
Sharks you don’t kick it
backwards he’s been Tak he’s like he
wasn’t in the bin is he going to his
pocket is he going to his
pocket that was a professional foul
sir oh he’s thinking about it is he
bringing him
in know he that is a yellow I reckon
he’s so who’s who’s for him
up unless he’s got a cold hand he’s
kickable with this wind isn’t it braen
the young fellow from the Gold
Coast oh a little bit further away tell
my miss that
penalty holding on should have been 10
not going to tell the rest what to
do gett from glenan Wales he makes sure
of that that’s a great boot great MO
great
nudge now that we used to it turn down
the volume at home if it’s too
loud or turn it up if you’re in the
Boozer this is a big chance for the
Tigers to put five on the
board so just news on uh on Gaz coming
off so basically he uh he took a knock
to the
throat um where he’s struggling to
breathe
uh a little bit and I think he dislodged
his gum Shield he’s choking on that but
the referee or sorry the AR said that he
was out for a couple of seconds which
obviously you can’t uh without without
proof you don’t know so unfortunately
because of that the AR has said he’s got
to come off with his concussion so
that’s why he’ll be fuming Gaz obviously
will insist that that wasn’t the case
but yeah definitely Advantage for uh
Tigers there in the in the second row
that’s nothing to diminish the abilities
of will James but Gaz as I said is a big
big big hard ball carrier and even
bigger hitter in defense and tigers are
going got the nudge on here from the
lineup and that’s a
try and that’s where just where you’d
need big Gaz in the engine room but I
don’t think there was any any stopping
that from him as soon as they got the
ball at the the line out that looked
like a tiger’s
try Big Johnny
Bower the number three he’s got over in
the
corner 75 kick the
come that’s a huge
try tiger starting to put a together few
patterns few
pieces the cameraman shaking his head at
me why till we get the the prems at
5:00 we got nacho
contardi he joined the Tigers last year
using a green tea he’s about
17 out from the uh well let’s call it
about eight in from the touch line not
on his favorite side but he can kick
being South
American Gareth Jones the Welsh leader
the captain here today been Captain for
years barking at his
troops nacho kicked the C what does he
do lovely little stab but that’s gone
straight across no it’s gone
through touch judges put their flags up
they got flags this week here at tigers
par they’re using plastic bags a couple
of weeks ago I won’t name the uh UAE ref
that stole the uh stal the
flags anyway that’s a story for another
day seven all I’ve got now yep 7 all s
all
about I’d probably say about 22 in we
had about 3 minutes is a stoppage time
the number 10 absolutely Hoops that
gives it to Max Max has put it on the
booties hit it straight down the Thro to
the 10 on halfway Counterattack
sharks 12 Shimmy Shimmy there he goes
good run go low has he been taken out no
that was surely offside from the taret
but we’ll play
it the eight here it up he loves
contact nine good
ball didn’t look pretty but he’s out
quick 12 goes back into the melee he
needs to be cleaned up he was an ex
tiger oh sir’s gone behind him there
must have been an advantage
there I’ve seen some decoy Runners him a
time but that takes the cake there must
have been an advantage being played
there cuz that was the worst worst
decision to be taken there there was no
the Winger wasn’t on for the the cross
field kick but I don’t think it
was that was just a poor a poor decision
what was
it yeah just jeez what a waste what a
waste Tang got the ball just where he
likes it in the center center of the
field with some space out on the left
hand side got the ball off to Daz he
made some really good meters
but sharks would say would’ve been very
wasteful there with that with that
opportunity come on taret
T gets the ball again tries to find a
little Gap there in a in a mismatch with
the
Defenders Elliot conducting the
orchestra from the back of the rock oh
that was for sir and fit is calling that
ball forward if you can hear in the
background but uh I thought it was
pretty flat but uh we’ll uh we’ll agree
to disagree on that one
nowhere
Superman shots give away the penalty and
T is have an opportunity to exit and get
a bit further up the
field territory was all sharks there and
they have not come away with any points
and I reckon that’s what the coaches
will be most frustrated with yeah it’s
been pretty Scrappy play Here Charlie
you know this has got nothing on last
night’s game at Habor who played at last
night r2’s played Sher in the semi yeah
who won we we won eventually
20 you get one team through the we’ll
take at the moment we’re taking one bus
down to La hopefully we can take two uh
yeah we won
317 in the end I think ver charer versus
charer the bar full up there at the hab
tour no the bar’s the bar is only just
about Still Standing after all the
floods and the wind and stuff all as
long as it’s above way side as they say
in Australia you can get one you get a
cold scooner here’s F they’ll go up at
four bad throw wind assisted goes to the
the back around the corner the big fell
from the Sharks he lines up against met
by Leo aad the
13 desperation by the
Tigers gone left sharks are good at
spinning It Wide down this left side
it’s gone without him that’s gone left
fan has made meters he’s kicked it what
are you doing you’re a prop hey let the
props
dream a bit of ARG Bari and back play
big G when
October gets a pat on the head from the
Sharks he won’t like
that I’ll put you back on a Charlie the
wife’s
calling big Sam after that uh that run
is is on his hunches doesn’t look too
comfortable probably just taking a
breather have an opportunity to just get
some oxygen in the
lungs W’s coming onto the field from the
from the Tigers but
no no uh no movement From the Bench
other than the fact that Stenner is
readying himself I think a little bit of
ice on the shoulder of of Sam and uh I
think he’ll be good to carry on but the
water is now coming onto the
pitch wind still
up fit’s just uh updating his wife on
the score
a very detailed uh description of what’s
going on so his wife is clearly a uh
rugby
aicardo little bit like my wife who’s
down in the uh in the thick of it in the
sharks sharks area making sure that the
players are still in one piece not doing
the medic duties on the field but doing
it off the
field grand stand slowly filling up
yeah all and according to fit they’re
going to win win the second half is that
right win the second half yeah no I’m
talking about the Raiders Broncos in ah
what’s the score
28 so
Broncos oh 28 nil to the Broncos over
the
Raiders oh I wouldn’t have seen that
coming Raiders have been looking really
good this season
just referred to his wife as mate so I
don’t know what kind of wife that
is Broncos 28 n yeah big run Leo he’s
through just the short Po and then the
fly half is going to get swallowed up by
T but great support running lines from
tigers and they go in back to
[Music]
back Leo
aardi gave the assist broke through
sharks went High dropped off the tackles
gave it short ball Tom enderson went in
out and then back to Leo W beautiful
supporting play the big 13 he’ll be
knacked after that but what a great
try tiger starting to find their feet
now that was huge
play shows what happens when you’re up
front set the
platform sharks in a bit of of a huddle
they’ve had probably 28 25 minutes of
great rugby this half the sharks have
been sort of dominating tigers have only
been down the Sharks half a c half a
dozen
times made him
pay na contar the Argentinian left hand
left footer he makes no doubt about that
that’s 14
Tom
Anderson the man that went through that
gave back the inside ball he’s played a
lot of prems this year unlucky not to be
in the side this
week had a bit of a bad run of injuries
bit of
holiday sharks kickoff they’re coming
out to the right hand side oh that’s a
great kick that hangs up there in the
southwester ash in October drops it cold
has it gone back it’s gone back max
pendry up the sideline no it has they’ve
called it by the this is just what the
Sharks need yeah the referee didn’t get
back in the game referee didn’t call it
forward but it was called forward by the
AR and sharks have an opportunity to
answer straight
back they have been a little bit
wasteful in the red zone so we’ll be
hoping well sharks will be
hoping they can do something different
here and and
actually score some
[Music]
points C use it and it’s gone straight
to First receiver stew the big centers
have combined there Nicks made great
yards there some great great play from
both centers DS in off the off the left
foot and again he’s made a couple of
yards he’s pulled some tigers boys into
the defense oh got to be
offside unless you’re the speed of light
there is no chance you’ll get to that
legally quick he’s not that quick
not pretty much standing in the Sharks
back line waiting to receive that ball
good play great great play from the from
the shark centers and then dos a nice
little step on the on the left foot all
made some meters but ultimately right
not getting over the whitewash just yet
but they have another opportunity here
to do
so in the background a couple of the
Dragons boys have just started to arrive
for their Prem game kickoff at
5:00 UAE Premiership semifinal
big scrum for sharks isn’t it hey yeah
big scrum sharks will really want to be
uh getting getting some points back on
the boarding
that bit of a weird setup here by the
sharks they got two down the left in the
tram the tram lines 12’s up 10’s back
what they got planned they screwed it
one they screwed it right Andrew’s
taking the ball off the back of the
scrum got to go low Tigers yeah he’ll
he’ll take five players with him Short
Pop to Mikey Sam was just in the way
there but a bit of a shepher there they
don’t call
it Tiger’s got to get low on the line oh
slow ball
though oh over G it that’s a great
that’s a great nudge great try sharks oh
this is a cracking game now here we
go really starting heat up here before
half time we’re about seven to go I
would say just looking up at the
sun looking up at the
sun Tu
in got two down here we got the Sharks
down I don’t know he didn’t score the
tri I don’t know why he’s down someone
is down from the Tigers can’t really see
smothered by the
physio ah the taji comes in and says
there might have been a head Clash here
I think it’s Mikey San the hooker that’s
down he’s got his SC ah it’s number one
Al couple of Front Row vaki from uh
fij good to have him back in Tigers
colors after a bit of a
layoff in and out of
saudy tigers won’t be happy with that
sharks now they got their backs
up look at him couple of high fives bit
of bringing a
step this wind is howling sharks really
want to put on another Point another try
or two before half time cuz this wind is
killer in the second half as I
[Music]
said where wind
going yeah it’s coming out of the
marina sort of coming straight over bit
of a sort of southeaster so so second
you you’re saying that
with the wind and what going into the
wind yeah yeah yeah I me it’s see it’s
12’s round up here it’s a bit different

giving it straight to the 10 down the
cham lines chip and Chase he’s gone he’s
put out in the fall oh sir you’ve got to
you’ve got to keep your eye on the touch
[Music]
line touch touchy on the far side there
a bit unsure Charlie oh all he had to do
was just get it in he didn’t even need
to find the touch just put put it into
space and Daz was there with his Pace
but oh straight out and that would be so
frustrating for the for the fly half
yeah all that big work from the Sharks
forwards Tigers looking a bit tired here
before half time what position did you
play ah mate where did I
play so predominantly forward or back oh
both M both 10 back in my day for the
Wes then weren we all yeah play a bit of
league around up on the Great Barrier
Reef second
row I was I was a ping number six at the
best of times in the old age going to
number eight did do hooker did do a lot
of hooker oh played a lot of hooker um
but yeah Max Max pendry he makes three
that’s good tigers on the counter this
could work for Tom oh good a great
tackle from
Nick great tackle from Nick there was
some space there for Tigers to uh to
play into but stifled that sharks
looking good defense Midfield alapat has
a run it’s just about hold on to that
one yeah oh penalty yeah you can’t do
that he says to Bren says the Sharks
player yeah not rolling away and they’ve
gone quickly a go by pendry pendry is
through that’s Liam cwell they’re both
bowled sorry about that
folks M oh Liam what can he
do sharks maroon down in their 15 yard
line great recovery though that that was
a great recovery Charlie oh it’s gone if
they send it n has gone
over f is at the back shu’s got it he’s
gone
left chks are getting organized Nao has
a look shimmy he’s through makes
two Gareth alap kick
to bendry oh if that kick have gone a
little bit further in into the uh into
the space that could have been a try of
the season but it wasn’t to be and it
wasn’t try the season and it’s gone out
pushing
the just forcing the issue there a
little bit some great cover defense from
there there from the sharks tiger still
knocking on the door asking questions
but sharks at the moment have got all
the answers in defense some more running
repairs for a couple of the plays pretty
disappointing there that old um Liam
cwell came back into the mix after a
couple of years in the wilderness doing
his CrossFit had a kid now he’s back for
the Tigers oh what happened here give it
sir
oh tiger scrum we haven’t got the bunker
to go and have a review a they can come
upstairs to us any day Charlie well if
you come upstairs I’m obviously going to
call it a knock
on oh sharks lucky to get away with that
bungle yeah it was it was a horrific
line out but just going back to that
play before Tigers will be ruin the
disappointment call will made all that
effort no one to
support leoy he pulls up Scotty poulton
Scotty poulton’s down to the right
Gareth gareth’s about to feed the ball
Tigers big scrum sharks tight head
Garris given it to absolutely no one
we’ve lost 15 M leoy he’ll keep going
the big
Feller they need to go right T is the
Argentinian just get meters one they say
over the
ball oh what was that for little knock
on yeah great tackle uh there from
Rogers going nice and low must be coming
up the last two minutes before half time
you’d
think lot of tied players out there well
is singly hot the wind is doing its best
to keep us cool but I can imagine down
there on the pitch the wind is doing
absolutely sweet fa to the players and
they will be absolutely sweltering in
those
kits come on
N shars haven’t got a blind option there
I know it’s their Ball but if uh if
tigers can disrupt this yeah I don’t
know what’s happening with the sharks
the 10 sitting be the 11 sitting be the
10 yeah both have got good good uh boots
out of
hand certainly go with a fell with the
with the white boots wouldn’t you yeah
up the back TR it up the middle he he
does love uh running into contact as
does his uh Center partner
Nick affectionally known as sh1t Nick um
good Nick is stuck over in Saudi for
another
year scrums are good up
solid scrum there from the Sharks and
they’ve got the good solid ball they’re
going to go oh they decid to run it
counter big kick from Daz yeah go na
they’ve got some great territory there
sharks but Tigers will come
back T takes the ball and he likes he
likes being in this opportunity with
loads of space and there you go cuts
through oh what a pass oh my God that’s
worth this the entrance fee alone oh my
God down here Target he’s wrapped up
around the he’s W the he’s W the Tigers
boys up because they were after him
after that sharks do you give it away in
this
wind G saf his houses here he’ll just

absolutely made a mess of it he’s gone
down the tram track shark’s ball they’ve
gone Gary Owen again

on the question is is there time to to
to play here sharks with a scrum just in
front of the 22 Yeah there’s time there
on again I don’t know the physio can go
on the ball in play he’s just it’s his
uh it’s his it’s his affection at hand

so little bit of ice and some tape and
he’ll be able to uh address that later
on this evening that was an absolute
mess from Scotty poulton and ashin
October the big fell young fellow from
Johannesburg out works out at wild w
they should have been calling to each
other and they’ve given the Sharks one
last little
glimmer little glimmer I I wouldn’t say
it’s hope but just a glimmer of
hope oh the A’s taking it he’s giving it
short he’s run back into business he’s
been met by Max pendry he still made
eight great me is that yeah great this
halfback for the Sharks he’s well
organized isn’t he oh shimmy in shimmy
out Tiger’s got to get on the
corner this didn’t go well for him in
the first half early in the first half

massive massive scrum there from the
Sharks huge huge Elation there from the
from the Sharks on the
sidelines and a nice snudge there from
gar who does finally find touch so
Charlie what what happened in the sheds
at half for the Sharks well Stern words

I don’t want to be too imposing on them
um what I did do was I went down to the
uh I went down to the sideline and I
gave my wife a kiss uh like you
instructed me to uh and then I uh then I
lifted some grass off the ground just
see where the wind was going where is
the wind the wind is pretty much going

Northwest it’s sort of cutting straight
across the den tigers den anyway you
wouldn’t want to be a fly on the wall in
that Tigers change Room Aaron
pers and Kieran Gaffney lay down the
lore lot of looking at the floor 40
minutes to make you make you Fame as

Sharks Tigers swarm over like a bunch of
bees Max pendry he doesn’t take a
backward step come on TIG Gareth sends
it Tom playing in the tram lines he runs
all day that young fell sharks who’s

hand side but he hasn’t gone he’s gone
left go oh sharks have got away with
that one very very touch and go there’s
a little pop there from from Bryce
Rogers who’s been gobbled up there by
the big number three Johnny Bo Johnny Bo
sharks Advantage for offside I’m hearing
over my right shoulder the kick has gone
but it’s gone out into touch and we’re
going to come back for the advantage
while Rogers does an incredible
impression of a beached whale oh put my
teeth back in after that one oh God I
thought you about to say incredible
impress of Brazilian we’ve all been
there a the big number he number
one anyway he’s down he hasn’t moved
he’s on his
hunches Gareth is absolutely laying
there in the law but anyway back to the

PCO 67 test for the Italians New Zealand
born Italian
native he uh said do the simple things
right do what you meant to
do don’t do what happened last year try
and play the man not the
game Tiger’s Ben starting to warm up

attention on his neck there after a
fantastic turn over right down in front

Shane’s got another ball to go and find
off the roof
there 17
14 sharks have got a bit of wind in
their sales
and have the Tigers got an immediate
response well the Tigers have got a big
bench due to the uh div 2 the golden
oldies the 33s as we like to call them
down the Tigers our thirds team they’re
out of the uh sevens in
another GF playoff semifinal today out
there at 5:00
meeting in the sheds at 3:45
so there’s uh well there’s 15 time 3 45
players plus seven for each bench you
know that’s 45 plus Charlie plus 21
what’s that that could be 66 that’s a
lot of play one he’s gone through he’s
gone over his own boots he suckled
himself he’s over the halfway he’s on
the 52 Tigers pois nacho Codwell Leo’s
got advis oh 18s had a kick the 18s
kicked
him oh he Pats him on the back said I
didn’t mean to kick you but I I saw it
could have been intent Charlie what you
no no no no no int no no intent no
intent may just wanted to show him his
bright white yeah yeah probably a Geer
probably a Geer loves his
soccer but yeah the uh the div one boys
for the Tigers there a couple of boys
going to be backing up on the bench
today vers the uh dragons down here in a
nailbiter of a
semifinal the uh the dragons prem’s team
the only team that beat Bahrain this
year apart from the
Tigers they actually came down here
early in the year and put about 20 on
the Tigers this is going to be a huge
game so yeah coach has got a bit to deal
with here in terms of selection in terms
of how long do you keep people on the
eight has a run round the back to nine
12 is a gap but he’s
met he’s met beautiful 10 easy play
count on him look at this is a run dead
keep running oh it’s run L Forest Gump
back to where he kicked it to I reckon
the winds just shifted there not in
favor of Gavin’s kick unfortunately the
wind have been blowing the right
direction as it was 5 minutes ago that
would have gone right into the
corner yeah yeah he put a little bit too
much meat on it but we’re going to come
all the way back for a tiger scrum just
inside the shark half as number 19 comes
on yeah big Marica bu
mawaii good player from Fiji young fella
works at the byy parks and Resorts Ben
rothwell’s also come on he’s taken up
the number one and he’s he’s no mean
feet that fellow he’s the principal of
the school over in the springs he’s been
rained out all week he’s been raring a
play Big Benny
Rothwell he’s been around a few years is
he he’s been around the bush see his
name m he ain’t moving him on the scrum
he doesn’t move too quick on the field
the big fella but he’s good with a cane
in the hand as they say as a head Master
well back in my day Tigers looking new
looking refreshed pull him away just
sits in at eight there so you got a
whole new front R now you haven’t got a
new front R yet Johnny bowler and safona
F they’re still making up the hooker in
the tie head we’re unchanging the front
row as at the moment as it stands that
could work against you Charlie
sharks looking low 6 in lower than the
Tigers bom squ we had earlier on in the
season we’ve lost Big N he’s good up
front sharks put it on this will be a
penalty surely Bo away goes left oh how
is that not a penalty dominated L he’s
had the ball day nacho Kar beautiful
torpedo kick downwards a seven he oh get
him oh he’s put it down in goal there’s
a bit of hit
there a massively dominating dominant
scrum there from the sharks tiger
somehow do come all the way up to the
shark end of the pitch with a scrum
tiget Subs really making the difference
in his first seven minutes of the second
half well not making the difference in
the scrum I think the sharks sharks will
fancy another disruption here and try
and win the penalty there’ll be a con
flab going on in the front row a con
flab I’m not sure all that means but uh
Charlie let you know what’s a conflict
just uh just a chat
really a conflict of interest when
you’re trying to no no just a chat when
you’re trying to compete with uh with
the ue’s greatest commment C you got to
try and up up your own game with a few
special words oh M we all learned from
the best you know I was down at Bruce
stadium with
r back in the 80s can hear you’ve come
out of the uh of the RS Warren school of
excellence
there Target
Tigers poised this is going to take a
lot from the Sharks after halim to repel
this Jugger or of a team that’s a better
of scrum the front row is gone up
Rothwell there’s a penalty given will he
play Advantage Braden the young 22
referees come up for a semifinal from
the Gold Coast Hugh kavar Northern
Orland seen some troubles he makes three

boot from Scotty
poulton another Sharks play down with a
limp
wrist that’s Elliot yeah a couple of
Limp wrists of uh injuries have been

getting some new boots
here the ref
nacho nacho fancy is going onto the uh
the orange boots what do they do what
special power these orange boots got
fast as nearly as fast as red
ones nice opportunity for sharks to
catch a breather here on the line while
they do the running repairs of Elliot’s
right hand family watching in uh in
Cambridge uh hello to
you this is dead set coming down to the
W we’re 30 minutes in without the
stoppages people need boots we’ve got
people down it’s like the Som s 1914
everyone’s going down but who wants to
keep playing Gareth Gareth Jones the
nine Leo Wy walks up to him says give it
to
me Ben Rothwell the principal he’s
looking at the post play to the post
Tigers he’s
got like celery Hanley back playing for
the B main Tigers oh sh ball saf F he
runs up
sharks oh all over the ball they’ve gone
right they’ve gone right he’s through a
he’s
through that was a simple play they
obviously been practicing that last week
not this week yeah excellent work there
from the Tigers sucking in a lot of
sharks Defenders and then and then
whipping the ball around to the right
and it’s the big number 13 not really
much of a contest there he’s just just
trampled in over the Sharks defense to
go in for the try and that’ll take it to
a two-point game with a kick to
come the score check Charlie you got 197
with the kick to come is that correct
that was just a well planned move by
tigers that’s what the coaches asked for
at halim be patient be
persistent know your jobs know your
roles that’s what they needed I could
see that when Mr Mr wardi the big number
10 he’s RAR the 13 but he’s been playing
10 all day I’ve been told to be a bit
quiet by the
cameraman if you’re at home just turn
down your surround sound your Dolby
Surround Sound we’ll tell you misss to
stop talking we’re coming down to the
final 20 minutes
here 25 to go is stages tmo’s just told
me he’s been invited up into the
commentary box canar he pushes it
has it got it no he shaves the Left
Post so we got a two-point ball
game we got a two-point ball game this
is
anyone’s sharks quiet Tigers barking
orders all around the
park Kieran Gaffney asked for more
commitment from his fors I don’t want to
see anyone walking he
said lot of experiencing this Tigers
backline
here 13 there a couple offside touchy
missed that I’m not going to call it on
the Sharks Mar he goes forward he makes
four count on him he’s got that silly
pass out of his game Max pendry oh look
at that he’s been great all game all day
great great ball carry but
sharks over the top and have stolen the
ball Tigers give up the penalty have to
blame that on Juan Juan delor four
syllables in his name Ash October and Mr
Rothwell the principal they weren’t
quick enough to the breakdown shark
coming
up that’s the dragons first grade
players turning up to the
game there we
go got a bit of a gray from uh the T the
the Tigers used to play for the the
Tigers for one game we didn’t pay him
enough so he went to the dragons Gareth
Newman hair doesn’t flicker in This
breeze still good looking but still
short sharks have gone in for the corner
so we’re about eight meters out from the
uh the
tigers tigers Tri line be interesting to
see if the backs are going to want this
or if the forwarders are going to say
this is ours and they’re going to try
and trundle over
by Tiger
six great line out by
sharks High they’ve got to go low Tigers
they’ve got to get behind the ball it’s
still
moving and we got another shove on here
this is probably going to be a try ah
here we
go wow this is a real ping pong game
we’ve got on our hands here this is is
fantastic stuff great for the neutral
great for the commentators up on the
Gantry a game a ping pong like this in
pukat
2003 well for the kids at home since
Forest Gump release 96 W four
Oscars but sharks now they’re three up

2219 2219 with a kick to come he’s out
in the tram lines he’s maybe six in he’s
bought it
probably 24 back oh he stolen half a
foot there I don’t know if the ref saw
that he’s missed that one good on him
hopefully he’s got one of those Tigers
balls that’s got no grip or not enough
air in it he’s got some really really
bright boots matching
socks oh here he goes he’s using a green
tea my green team the Raiders up at Sun
Corp at the moment get Absolut oh he’s
dropped them B they’re getting
absolutely demolished by the Brisbane
Broncos
but this is a big game changer this puts
the lead out to five lead out to five
with I’d
say a good 20 21 to go
maybe here we go he pushes it he stabs
it
it he’s nudged it oh wow wow tigers have
got a lot of work to do now yeah

not going to go into the bunker we can’t
we haven’t got the technology so we’re
just going to call that a try 2919 got
the TMO up
here he he turned a blind eye I’ll have
a Sprite too sir
sharks you could see that happening
Tigers they ran up on off the line the
14 oh dear
lord there’s a big big ass now from the
Tigers to come back from this well if
you’re anything like your your Prem team
from last week came you came from behind
last week you’ve got you’ve definitely
got it in the in the blood yeah we’ve
got it in the
blood got to get a Visa get your blood
test
ladies and gentlemen if you’re not first
you’re last and I’m not Ricky Bobby but
this is going to be a huge ass T be kick
to come one foot in from the sideline
the 15 Poise he’s been on song all day
will he kick this wind right to left
he’s absolutely nailed
it he has absolutely put that in the
third cubicle of the Sharks change room
fit he’s done all he can to try and put
the kicker off because his voice travels
for a roughly 350 kilometers around the
UAE landscape he definitely could hear
Fitzy in his ear but he’s absolutely
slaughtered that kick what a
fantastic 3119 with 18 to go I’m being
told over my left shoulder and all of a
sudden sharks where it was getting a a
real arm wrestle have just definitely
flexed on the Tigers a little bit but
the question is have tigers got got an
answer hungry
tigers look hungry they need to insert
their descendancy now for one goes he’s
been lone running all day he doesn’t
make meters again the nine if it comes
down these boys put it away you can’t
pass in and kick out on the fall that
could be out the Ben Bailey he’s young
he’s missed a few trainings put your
head down son and just go oh the shimmy
he’s been wrapped up that could have
been
high Leo’s got the ball Liam cwell
that’s Max short ball go Liam through
Liam will go all the way go on the
[Music]
[Applause]
post oh Tiger Strike Back that’s easy
money that’s easy money of the tigers
den sharks have given
up 3124 keep to come yeah disappointing
defense there from the Sharks caught
very narrow couple of players in the uh
in the back three watching the kick over
the top but with with with the wind in
the favor of of sharks Tigers were never
going to kick and they’ve spread it wide
nice and quickly and they’ve found a man
over and it’s the ball number 12 who’s
going to I think he’s going to kick his
own try G over for a lovely
score great Try by the Tigers 14 men
down minut 14 minutes to go with 14 men
down the one man down just yeah not it’s
sharks 15 15 on one Tigers just scored
he did a run around to himself
here but this kick means a lot to UAE
rugby and the
Tigers oh the balls falling off the
te
one oh what nail body exciting
I’m not sure what tigers are doing here
we’ve got two
kickers oh he sprayed it Liam has
sprayed it always a difficult angle
especially there the ball’s just gone
across the face of the post yeah you
certainly can’t feel the wind in his
hair get the feel of the ball get the
feel of the temperature
[Music]
the cameraman stepped on me Sprite it’s
not good no was like Tuesday down at
Dubai airport you can’t land in the
commentary box this week fly
Dubai Charlie’s had a bit of a chuckle
ashn October’s off he’s giving it his
all today he’s actually stayed on the
field normally gets a yellow
card but he’s done well well done ashin
October
America under the high ball he’ll make
meters he needs to wind up there he goes
oh crunch great tackle great tackle Leo
W cordwell wrapped up back to Leo he
makes two tigers springing a step they
now want to offer Marica is off one
round running not good by the
Tigers got away with that and the Tigers
keep hold of the ball Tommy Henderson
Young
he’s got SK burn he’s do the TR lines KI
on
son oh great work by the
sharks give it give it Tigers hug just
settles it the man from
Belfast you got four on four out wide
Leo Max Walker Ben Bailey outside he’s
got to clean out go go go Johnny ballock
just gives it overhead Ben Bailey 25
out oh this game’s opened right up here
for the sh for the Tigers oh that could
have yeah there’s a knock on and that’s
a that’s massive relief there for the
Sharks I don’t think he was offside but
we can agree to disagree kicked Bailey’s
got some work to do oh and that ball has
had a wonderful bounce and that is an
unbelievable
5022 and for for all of the amazing hard
work that the Tigers have done they’ve
come they’ve had to turn away turn
around and come all the way back into
their
22 with the line out to the Sharks
unbelievable stuff I reckon you’re all
on your on your feet back home what a
five minutes of rugby and I need to sit
down because I’m absolutely flat out
exhausted Charlie’s had to sit
down tell you what we’re all going to
have a breather up here in the
commentary box even even the cameraman
buy he’s naked the tmi’s naked
cuz he hasn’t got a
seat sharks 19 in their ball wind
howling out of the East they’ve gone two
they didn’t go up tigers sharks M at
forward tigers are definitely going to
want want the game in the loose now
because they’ve got some fantastic
Runners oneoff running sharks short ball
you’ve got to take him down sir again
the Cent’s working really nicely
together and that’ll be a tiger oh it’s
not it’s
oh no not releasing The Tackle not
releasing that’s a bit Rich sir
Bren my fellow
Aussie the TMO Charlie Charlie what do
you think about that I got the TM on me
here behind me yeah push him over is he
Linked UP is he Linked UP are you linked
up oh you are oh mate he’s link M give
me the link I’ll tell him what it those
reverse a penalty
sir oh sharks you think you’ve got to
take a point I thought that was a bit
harsh I thought the tackler the first
tackler got in and then it was your is
it your number 13 got in over the ball
yeah you know I can’t tell I not I think
I might have seen a knee on the ground I
don’t want to be sure okay they’ll take
the fre they we definitely take the
three points and make it a seven-point
ball game I would assume a 10
point getting corrected again from the
uh the AR never had a team oh he’s
nearly knocked over me Sprite again
um just keep it in your hand don’t don’t
put it
down don’t don’t dress anyone up in this
country he said he’s got 10 left but
it’s up to if you want fresh legs some
some comments from the uh from the
Medics to the coaches someone’s got 10
more minutes in the legs but it minutes
to go we got nine minutes to go so so by
my mass he can celebrate or or
commiserate for one minute after the
game and then he’ll be empty
not sure who they’re talking about maybe
it’s in front
row wind’s really swirling up here
you’ll be lucky to put this through the
dot he shanked it oh he’s done his he’s
made his best effort to put the kicker
off again Fitzy but I think T’s got some
uh some some tunnel ears there he’s not
listening to
uh to the words echoing around the
UAE eight minutes to go and it’s a
10-point game
long I’m not timing it
play n minutes n oh fourth official not
might need to go back down it’s been 11
minutes bit of confusion around the uh
the refs big Wills taking the taking the
ball what he needs to go and do is take
his car from Habor he’s stuck in a
puddle yesterday and broke down
unfortunately Mikey San with a nice step
off the the left foot recycles the ball
nicely
and then sharks are going to go for the
territory don’t want to give it away at
this stage of theame oh Ben Bailey what
do you
thinko very interesting and it’s the M
it’s the Maj the mighty derrier of Sam
who’s got the ball in it’s been good
Another Touch Another Touch into
space Oh that is a oh oh that is an
unbelievable
bounce and uh and Nick sh1t Nick is
going to have an opport Unity to go in
he’s been tripped there by the
tackle but sharks do have the ball just
outside the Tigers 22 come on
Tigers staying impartially in the
commentary box as
always tiger set big gaps up front don’t
run out of the line Johnny bowler just
calling for some action Ben Rothwell
turns around Leo W puts one Oh’s Marie
ball
six great desperation three on two three
on two oh the ball back inside to T is
read nicely by the uh the big 13 from
Tigers who’s had an unbelievable game so
far yeah it’s nearly as good as a nine
from the Sharks the six make three look
at this what’s the three doing oh it’s
another penalty we might be getting a
it’s another penalty and the referee
gone to his pocket again I’d like to ask
the touch judge how long have we got
nacho kardi for no the guy on the
sideline he’s been off for about 35
minutes get on mate just go as always
some from the
Australians
yeah and Tom Henderson’s been sent as
well desperation star 15’s back on one
for one this is another team yellow and
this is the 10 that made The Fantastic
breakdown here isn’t it
Tom got to get in the naughty chair mate
Is that real that P that’s real that’s
what the new generation seven minutes
seven
minutes okay TMO saying six minutes to
go sharks it’s theirs to lose at the
moment this is disappointing from the
Tigers yeah but tigers have still got
this in the game you you can I can feel
it feel score feel it we down in PL yeah
yeah there’s there’s definitely option
sharks have called a scrum again
probably the wise decision
but you’ve seen in the loose broken play
tigers have got some some weapons
unfortunately one of their demon weapons
is now sat in the naughty chair just
down in front of us big scrum here from
both sides huge scrum what’s this going
to do you got ree Jones the 18e old he’s
played he came out of Dubai College last
night he played will they attack him

game of rugby sharks I would say shark
structure won the game in the end you
can bring on anyone in the Off the Bench
but if you can keep keep your structure
throughout the game you’ll end up
winning the
match so just from uh Tiger Point of
