Saders are an awesome team with the best pedigree by far in Super history. Think the saffas backing them to win are very mistaken if they believe the Bulls are going to beat them easily. I’m rather hoping for the Brumbies to win as i think they’ll be far easier to beat!!
GBS
I am just hoping the have found their mojo 🙂 If they win today, they have to fly straight back to Bokland then win 2 in a row … I dont think anyone has ever sone that – so a big ask 😯
Come on Brumbies…One try before halftime will put you right back in the game…
Turk,lets hope the Crusaders come third then 🙂
The Stormers are lurking in the background.
Lyk my die aussies en ab’s het ‘n kompetisie wie kan die meeste moan oor die ref. Op Reunion kan ou Mexted nie ophou kerm oor Jonker nie. Nog altyd baie van hom gehou, maar lyk my hy gooi ook nou al sy speelgoed uit die kot.
155@ Wezwp – Stormers have to reach the semi’s first…
Saders must score here
Another try Owen Franks??
TMO
Must be out… lineout
Sitting in my office reading this tensione is killing me 😯
No try.
So you Stormpies are already talking about your chances in the finals…Interesting…
But keep it up boys…
You just got to love john Robbie when he say’s the derbies are unpredictable. Crusaders should get the bonus point. You guys got To remember the Crusaders won away semi finals and finals before. Who says they can’t do it again.
Penalty Saders right infront
Penalty Saders on 22 in front…
160 – RP, good morning to you. Saders looking the better side at the moment.
So should be 22 – 10 at halftime
Saders 22 / 10
12 points in it at the moment…
Looks Like the Crusaders eventually woke up after getting that pak from the Stormers.
165 – gbs looks like it will be a Bulls/Saders semi. Phew!! Now thinking maybe Saders not worried about being tired. Mind taking over there. They want to come back here for revenge I think. Going to be massive semi if Saders make it.
Blouste- Niemand kan sê die stormers supporters glo nie in hul span nie……lol..
Saders are ALL OVER the Brumbies…
Who said they were too tired??
Halftime
Lemoenetyd
Brumbies not yet out of it, 40 to go…
170 – Wezwp, don’t worry looks like Saders in a mission here to come back and make amends. They take out the Bulls they could take out the Stormers. Revenge is a mental thing….hahahaha. They want it bad I think. Thought it would be Brumbies winning here.
But in all fairness Crusaders are in charge at the moment…
173 – gbs, Me I am in 😯
Wedstryd nog lank nie verby nie.
