    Can you believe it??

    Baie belangrike bonuspunt wat Habana daar beskerm het met sy goeie duikslag.

    Reds het nou Saders, Bulle en Stormers geklop. Die feit dat hul aldrie klaar gespeel het, en daardie drie spanne mekaar nou moet speel, maak van die Reds die gunstelinge.

    Wie moet hulle nog speel ?

  • 161

    Old Griquas…Well done, we have one smile here anyway!! 🙂

  • 162

    Hard, hard game…. congrats Reds

    3 Teams now on 34 Log Points…. no 4

    Reds, Bulls, Stormers and Crusaders on 34 points… jeeeeez!

  • 163

    Good game; well played Stormers, congrats Reds.

    WILL GENIA: A leader arrives!!!

    Excellent captaincy and a well-deserved win. I always thought it was going to be tough for the Stotmers at Brisbane. I like the mutual respect shown to one another after the final whistle, good to see.

  • 164

    160@ BiDiBiDi – Reds het nou makliker games wat voorlê…. hulle gaan ‘n Tuis-semi kry en dalk No 1 eindig…. donner, wie sou dit voorspel het?

  • 165

    Log:
    Stormers
    Saders
    Reds
    Bulle

    Almal op 34, punteverskil begin nou groot rol speel.

  • 166

    Blue Bird @ 16 – certainly a rugged match I thought? What about you?

    It’s always enjoyable to see a new, young bunch come through . . .

  • 167

    164; kyk, as Bulle en Saders staan en verloor, dan is alles deurmekaar ! Voel so aan my benoude boude hierdie gaan die naweek van ‘upsets’ wees !

  • 168

    Sorry Blue Bird, that’s 161 – too much of the fab oz red you spoke of earlier?????

  • 169

    165@ Nou is dit belangrik dat die Bulls die Lions goed donner!

  • 170

    Tot op hede, is Genia die speler van die toernooi. Baie baie goed, FDP moet nou sy allie in rat kry en vir hom wys wie is die beste.

  • 171

    This, of course is good for the Sharks, possibly…. makes the points total for semi’s a tad lower…. or does it?

  • 172

    169: ons moet van minuut 1 af oorheers, anders gaan dit ‘n lang middag word.

    Van die top 4 spanne, het die Saders die moeilikste taak, dan Stormers, dan Bulle, dan Reds.

    Die swak punteverskil van die Bulle, kan nog by hul spook na 15 Mei.

  • 173

    Well done Reds….who would have thought.

    Against the mighty pack of stormers you were not CRUSHED!!

    The “Stormers WILL crush the Reds” Saint…eat your heart out mate!!

  • 174

    The Reds can do it with their dancing shoes and today they had their rugger boots.

  • 175

    Waar’s Wez####, die man was mos die ene windgatgeit dat die Stormers onoorwinbaar is…. terug aarde toe vir jou, tjoppie!

    Bygesê ek is nie bly oor die Stormers verloor nie.. dammit!

  • 176

    Punteverskil

    Stormers 144
    Saders 116
    Reds 99
    Bulle 66

    Bulle se doelwitte vir more:
    1. wen
    2. bonuspunt
    3. punteverskil verbeter

  • 177

    Ek het regtig gedink die reds se wiele sou afkom, maar hul droom duur voort. Stormers, soos die Bulle het in hul laaste wedstryd nie meer gefokus gelyk nie. Hopelik gaan dit beter in SA.

    Reds moet nog speel:
    Brumbies (weg)
    Canes (weg)
    Landers (tuis)

    Eerste 2 is nie maklik nie, laaste een is 5 punte.

  • 178

    173 – Walla, Well done to the Reds. I owe you a beer. I wont forget I keep my promise.

    Stormers I felt kicked way, way too much today.

    Still that try saving tackle by Habs at the end giving the Stormers a bonus point might still come in to help the Stormers. All the points collected from here help.

    Bad luck to my Stormer mates here.

    Was great though watching in the square at MonteCasino. NO sound on the big screen just music playing but a great, great vibe and FOOD was awesome. Also had 2 glasses of red wine…… LOL. Hardly ever have wine during the day. But hey why not!!! hehe.

  • 179

    Well done and congrats to the Reds’ fans. Wez, time for some introspection my man. Lat ons nie te gou die bek rekkie, ne? Really tuff run-in for Stormers now, but then stranger things have happened.

  • 180

    Puma

    I look forward to the beer..not because of the result but a chance to meet you.

    Wish it were my Brumbies team winning like the Reds.

    The bonus point is very precious for this stage of the tournament.
