Mooi Craig Joubert!! 4 Penalties in 8 minute!!
Lyk my jy mik vir ‘n nuwe rekord vandag??
The worst game of the S14 will be the Lions / Reds.
Nee fok Loosehead, laasweek se Sharks/Chiefs was darem moers vervelig!!
Reds speel altyd mooi rugby met Cooper en Ioane daar. Peter Hynes en Ginia is nog twee uitstekende spelers. Ek voorspel dat die Reds ‘n paar spanne gaan skrik mak die jaar…
Fark, power’s gone off here in the Panne, so no TV…. keep the scores coming and who scored… so I can update the thread.
Who scored the penalties??
LH @32
You never know, 2 shite teams playing against each other might just be a spectacle of try scoring.
On the other hand (Darren) maybe Wayne Barnes ref’s it and it’s a complete and utter pile of kak for 80 odd minutes.
Yellow card for Franks.
6-6
Loosehead is 2nd on Superbru
Red card Crusaders and they not slagging of our ref.
GBS hi that must be awefull for lol but at least its not dureing a Bulls game so could be worse.
Carter misses kick at posts
gbs @ 34
wee’ nie betaal nie nê?
Crosskick by Carter and pressure on the Reds, crusaders near their try line now reds ball
40@ Asbak – Ek lyk al soos betaal man…. hele flokken dorpie is blykbaar af…..
Haveing scrum near reds line and reds get ball in scrum
commentator says both line outs look very ordinary tonight
Reds running balll about to scroe but great tackle by Pain then Cooper scores a very good try
GBS get some of the guys to keep you updated am no good at trying to type and give commentry with a slow network as well, oh and its 11/6 to the Reds
reds aboiut to score again they by the line and advantage being played for the reds they right by the line now trying to dive over and whistle goes and reds get penalty
Cooper kicks it over score 14/6 Reds
Saders now probably for the first time this year being blown according to the new interpretations of the law…..kiwi refs only applies it to non-kiwi teams.
Boomninny, you’re doing a wonderful job, keep at it please!
Half time, my signal very bad so it takes 1minute even 2 at times for this to come through.
51@ Boomninny – You’re doing fine, showing a lot of the boys up big time…. keep it coming!
I told you on the other thread, last year the saders lost to the Highlanders early 6-5 or something, they always drop an easy game early. I must say this game looks better than the borefest earlier. Reds playing attractive rugga. I see Cooper re-inforced the view that he is a burglar with that new look and prison tattoo’s.
Commentator says Reds have been fab upfront and 2cnd half has started
Or should I say the fact, and not the view. Because he is.
Cooper kicks for touch near Crusaders line and reds running ball at line they vry close to line and penalty to the reds
53
Yep, he’s gaining experience, he was quite good while playing sevens for the ozzies, had an uglier hair style back then, apparently enjoyed cutting his own hair, think he might have discovered the mirror.
Great intensity in this game. Very watchable.
17-6 reds
Reds 17/6 up and my bru not looking well
