The No 1 of the Saders is just standing around, doing nothing in the loose ground ball play, lazy farker!
Well defended, again Carter looked flat
Knowing NOTHING about flyhalf play, I must ask the question. Is Carter off form since coming back from Europe? He just doesn’t seem to be the same player. Or was it Marshall and Mauger who made him look so good?
63@ Loskoppie, a good scrumhalf helps the flyhalf a lot to shine….
This game is ,in parts, the same level as the Vodacom Cup.
Saders 18 / 17 as Weepu slots a penalty
65@ Loskoppie – Home derbies are often scrappy… this is a tough encounter.
Chris Jack looks much better wearing the blue and white hooped jersey.
Canes 20 / 18… and gets the lead for the 1st time.
Canes in front…………….
Let’s see if the Saders have the same brass balls like the Bulls, to grind out a win from behind…
Easy penalty for Saders
Saders 21 / 20
67-GBS: Ja I know, but I like watching the NZ teams playing shit. 😆
Ding Dong penalty battle now.
Canes 23 / 21
That was a piss poor cross kick
Fark, Canes squanders a chance…. 1st Nonu who does not pass, then Cruden with a wayward kick.
Canes 26 / 21… only 15 min left
This is not the Crusaders team of old.
Ek sien hier bo by die tellings dat George Whitelock al 3 en Zach Guildford al 25 drieë gedruk het … moes die telling nie dan al baie meer gewees het nie ?
I like the fact that tries have dried up… hehehehe
Morning all.
Turned on the tv to see the last 2 penalties by the Canes.
Thought Saders would have been way ahead.
65 – Loosehead 😆
79
moet ek vir jou prentjies teken?
😆
Try dit uitwerk voor die eindfluitjie/
80 – GBS 😆
Crusaders skrum kan die een red
83@ Puma – Hello Oerwoudkat
85 – GBS..helloooooooo
8 min left
Good defence by the Canes
82: ‘n drie tel net een punt in hierdie wedstryd ? 😉
The Hurricanes are going to win this game. Superbru 1 / Loosehead 0.
