Hifhlanders not standing back an inch in the scrum, despite being one man down…
Howzit Puma…..seems the Landers will drop me today…damn

Turnover… should have gone for the 3 points you stupid Kiwi’s 😆
Well done Landers defence there was great. Want Blues to win but not with a bonus point 😀
Blues must get points while the Landers are a man down…
Stupid play blues, just like the lions, take the points, build the pressure and come score.
141 – Blouste it is called greed………hehehe. Going for the try now it cost em 😆
Still want them to win for my bru picks. Score though can stay put.
Blues throwing valuable oppertunities away…
turn overs very possible if you have numbers, like the highlanders showed, however this will create space in the back. The balance needs to be 100%
GBS these smiley faces are :poop: You cant see what they are unless you go over em!! Change to the other ones or get new ones boeta.
Also when will we get the arrows back?
How many scrums in this 10 minute period….
Stupid play Blues…
