Hi all – how much time left?
28/20 Canes. 10 min left. Keep going Canes.
67 Plenty of passes being thrown about by both sides, but play remains concentrated in the midfield area as neither side is able to break the line.
Skop Chabal se kleinseun hom oor. …. wie het by 174 my nick gesteel ? 😉
So nice to see rugby in S hemisphere again 😀
182 – Howdy Irish, 9 min now.
Ten minutes – well anything can happen then – I have Canes to win – but just.
68 YELLOW CARD, BLUES, TOEAVA. DIckinson pulls out the first card of 2010 and sends the Blues centre to the bin for playing the ball on the ground.
186 – Irish, It is VERY good.. 😆
Just going to watch the last 8 min back after the game.
Thanks Puma – watching here but have so much work to do. Called multi-skilling I think.
70 PENALTY, HURRICANES, WEEPU. 28-20. They started slowly, but the Hurricanes look to have this one wrapped up.
Blues, not the most intelligent team are they.
Thats looking better!!
184: super, dankie vir die vertaling (179) !
31/20 Canes. 6 min left. Keep going Canes.
72 PENALTY, HURRICANES, WEEPU. 31-20. The Blues’ error count has killed them tonight. After dominating the first half, they won’t even get a losing bonus point if the scores don’t change.
This has to be the funniest game out. I’m rooting for Canes but want Blues to score to get my points in line with prediction. Jeez this is spastic
74 It’s a free-for-all now. All and any structure has gone out the window as the Blues throw the kitchen sink at the Canes, who in turn are profiting from the gaps.
Blues speel touchrugby, gaan nie werk in die S14 nie. Dit is nog vroeë tye, maar hul lyk nie na ‘contenders’ nie. Canes kan jy sien het al die ervaring: kalm en doeltreffend.
bdb, geluk met 200.
Oirish and Puma, do your Competition Registrations…. NOW!!
201: dankie !
speel Luke M vir Blues ?
76 Being a name down, the Blues have realised it’s probably a better idea to keep it tight. Dickinson gets a pass in the back of the head…and the Blues get a scrum.
Hello RTs!
Sal later weer inloer, en probeer inlog.
Gan druk hier, staan in die middel van bouery, kan nie eens die gby kyk nie!
34/20 Canes Win
78 The Blues are doing a very good job of giving attacking possession away. And now Weepu has another chance to have a long-range crack at goal.
I predicted 15, Thanks for that comeback Canes!!
GBS – what is that?
