Well it stands to reason doesn’t it ? Lay down like girls for the Stormers this week … fight like girls next week !
Time for Gits to start chirping the ref… 😆
That’s New Zealand rugby gbs. Havnt you played EA sports rugby.
1 Converted try by the Brumbies will make my SportsPool Club pick soooooooooo good!
Love the description on “Live Scoring” of Carters conversion :
“Carter with a freakish kick that swings in and out then sails over for an extra 2 points.”
@ 241
You just watch tomorrows game 👿
There will be no laying down…
TRTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SADERS!
241: did you see how the girls, Mexted and Nisbett, cried like babies on Reunion about SA refs. They are beginning to sound more like the aussies every day.
Is that fog, mist or smoke in the stadium? How can they see to play in that?
Try Saders??
No… lost
That’s very harsh. At least they get a consolation penalty.
So Saders should lead by 15…
Brumbies will have to score next if they want to stay in it…
Ok so no TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SADERS
Penalty Saders, almost in front
248 – Saffa ref for the final. 😀 Craig Joubert.
Saders 32 / 17
Damn fog,
254 – gbs, Think that is it. Saders are coming to Orlando.
Me semi final prediction at the start of the competition is going as planned. Now its just up To the waratahs.
What’s the odds on the Tahs losing by 7 or less and having scored 4 tries?
Why did’nt they give Bryce Lawrence a Saders jersey at halftime… He he he
😆
258: Saders moet wag tot more aand, want Stormers kan verloor sonder enige punte, dan gaan ons stormers vriende NZ toe.
Folks, you don’t understand how it has just rained in Cape Town.
Crusaders strong in defense…
Im still wet @ loosehead

Dit sal baie afhang van die weer. Mooi weer is voorspel vir Nuweland, maar soos dit nou lyk gaan dit nat en baie winderig wees, regte stormweer hier.
Weswp, hoe lyk die weer daar by Nuweland tans?
The Crusaders look tired and bruised. What a big task for them, now they can get that feeling the Bulls had when we had to travel over there for our semis. Tough.
Fog in Christchurch and rain in Cape Town.
#248 bdb Mex and Nisbo got it spot on in terms of Marius “Sunnyside” Jonker’s last minute performance at Loftus last week.
Bring back neutral refs.
15 points difference…. 13 min left
