@ 61 😆
Brumbies pushing hard now !!!
Penalty Brumbies…kickable
Penalty Brumbies… fark they kick it out… don’t they ant points??
Carter needs to find those kicking boots. Though would be nice to see Brumbies come over for the semi.
Scrum Saders 5m from their goal line…

Ek sallie aan my laat “push” nie…veral nie deur ‘n convict nie, netnou steek hulle mens met ‘n koekie skerp gemaakte seep of iets.
Saders have the upper hand in the scrums for sure…
LOTS of mistakes… actually not pretty rugby at all
Daardie laaste 15 minute gaan moeilik wees vir die Saders. Brumbies lyk baie meer vars.
#43 Puma, thank goodness it not Marius “Sunnyside” Jonker! Joubert anyday….
I thought it was the Stormers’ fault for not beating the Sharks last Saturday that has given rise to the Running of the Bulls at Newlands tomorrow but after watching Reunion last night, I now know that nothing could be further from the truth.
Sunnyside stitched those Saders up with 4 highly controversial calls all in the last minute. Two of those were clear forward passes and two ruck decisions that were from another rule book!
Bring back the neutral refs, I say!
#69 – PUMA
Screw the Brumbies, Waratahs, Reds and the Force…
Hello all RT’s, from a wet and blistery S-Cape, howzit?
So who do we Saffas want to win here, who would the Bulls?Stormers rather play in the semi’s? I think the Saders…….
Try Maitland….. excellent try for Saders
Marvelous try Saders !!!
Saders try.

Good morning all 🙂 I would like to see the Crusaders win so they can have a re match with the Bulls next week.
Saders 7 / 0

Now you are the pits, even have excuses for the other teams that lose… 😯
76 – Saint it is for the difference. Saders have been there plenty.
@ 71 LMFAO !!!
82 – Morning Winston,
Did the great Carter lose his kicking boots 🙂
I think it’s fair to say the momentum are with the Saders at the moment…
@ 88
He bought the great Morne’s boots when he left for SA…
