119@ R_P – Very justifyable discrimination, yes…
Dis die eerste surprise vir die naweek. Nie gedink dit sit in die highlanders se broek om die tahs te wen nie
Penalty Landers, a bit far out… going for posts….. OVERRRRRRRRR
Landers 26 / 10
Landers turn over yet another Tahs ball.
Tahs are shocking
Okay geniet die rugby, my house of coffees breakfast het sopas op gedaag! Mmmmmm
26/10 Think that is Tahs out of this game. Unless they score two quick tries which at this stage don’t look like it will happen.
Landers hooker, Rutledge, is having a moooooooooosa game

Bollocks to that 😡
Anese knocks a high ball deep in his 22
Heeeeeee haaaaaaa
125 – Enjoy the breakast, for a min thought you were Superbul..hahaha. Are you knew here SuperStormer? If so welcome and all the best for the Stormers game tonight mate.
128@ R_P – Pretoria is not for sissies!
Looking good for the SA teams. Now if the brumbies beat the reds and the stormers beat the Saders, ther will be two sa teams way on top of the log.
Hey GBS, ekt ‘n interresante app gesien vir “Live Scores” op greenandgoldrugby dot com… Die ding se naam is “CoveritLive”. web http://www.demandmedia.com/products/coveritlive/
Kyk gou op greenandgoldrugby hoe werk hy as jy belang stel…
130@ Puma – Superstormer is not new here, he was Gargoyle before, also a known blogger who came over with us
133@ Blou Baard Pie – Sal netnou kyk, na hierdie game
131 grootblousmile
Neither is the deep south – you all shivering in your slippers at the weather you seeing on the telly ! 😯
Landers hard on attack again
Tahs are futtup, no chance of coming back!
I wonder if the Reds will also lose to the Landers? Then they play them in Brisbane so probably not.
Now it will be crowded on the top if Brumbies beat the Reds today. Wow!!!! next two weeks are going to be huge.
Tahs now on attack…. keep them out Hillbillies!!
134 – gbs, Never ever seen or spoken to him before, even with is old nic of Gargoyle. Then good to see some old bloggers coming back.
1 min left
Time?
Final hooter… 1 scrum to go
Even if the Tahs score, they’ll get no bonus point…. hehehee
Ok! you read minds GBS?
Great results for the Stormers and Bulls. And another little door opens for the Sharks.
Fark, Landers just need to kick it out… but they run the ball
Game OVERRRRRRRRRR!!
Final score Landers 26 / 10
144 – Well who would have thought Landers would win and not even give the Tahs a bonus point??
Sorry Old Griquas. Tahs still in the running but will now have to win both their next games.
Congrats to the Highlanders on a well played game. They played to the conditions and the tahs were rubbish. Once again, the perennial bridesmaids came second and may now miss the money-end of the season. No hard feelings; they were given every opportunity and only have themselves to blame.
144@ Stinkvis – Yip… haha
145 – Snoek, A very, very slight door….hahaha. If Reds lose and we win then the door opens just a tiny bit too. Still think it is almost impossible for us to get to the semi.
This though is very, very good news for the Stormers. So even if they lose their game tonight the pressure wont be as great, they will still be right up there.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STORMERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Sorry Rugby Princess. Saffa sides first for me always.
