Go Saders, Sorry Old Griquas, just thinking of the saffa sides. If Tahs win will celebrate with you later.
Go Rugby!
If the Saders lose here it will be a whitewash against New Zealand sides for the weekend… so far 0 from 3 for them.
Saders 3 / 0
Morning Boys, some of you were up increidbly early today, most out of character…..!!
What was going on?
Two out of my 3 on Bru so far, just not good enough…… 🙁
Halangahu misses a sitter!
Waratahs are playing stupid rugby.
Carter going for posts again…
Carter now misses a sitter.
Almost a McCaw try, Shrek rips it off him over the line
Carter misses again
I dunno who to support here, for SA’s sake?

Tight game this,like you guys say,lets hope for a 3-3 boring draw..
GBS @12
Yip, that will be ideal!
Oh, and 4 non life threatening injuries to players on both sides, to crucial players, would be good too!!
Hehehehe
Saders 6 / 3
Yellow to the Saders… spear tackle
Fark, there was nothing in that
What I would give for Dan Carter to be South African 🙂
6 / 6

6 – 6 now.
Lemoenetyd
Not a great game……..
gbs @ 19
agree
penalty miskien omdat hy hom so “ñ klein bietjie in die grong geboor het”,
maar verder was dit nie ñ geelkaart werd nie!!
#25
grong = grond
Craig Joubert again showing that he is a tit.. Rugby is not a game for softies,that was a legitimate tackle..
Great defence by Crusaders.:-)
Both the Ref and the TJ agreed on the tackle though… so one can’t blame Joubert
G’day everyone, the wonders of modern technology – I can’t pick up the justin.tv feed, so I’m missing most of this match. BUGGA!!!
I’m out on a regional airport, just next to the runway and moving the laptop around trying to find the best sweet spot!!! So far, I’m relying on RT for an indication of how the Tahs are travelling . . .
