2nd Half On
Yellow Card for a spear for the Reds…. No 7 Flanker
Very stupid there that tackle by the reds. Now in the sin bin for 10min. Canes will make the most of this.
Reds dicipline is shocking today
Canes just cannot maul as well as the SA Teams… over the line… but is it down… TMO
Thats better Canes…
116 – Old Griquas, Think that Rebels side going to be good next year. Think they can recruit about 10 foreign players in that side. Think there will be scouts looking here too.
Must be inconclusive and a 5m scrum…
Come on Canes… 5m scrum
Indeed, 5m scrum
Reds collapse the scrum… penalty… watch out for a penalty try…
This resets are wasting valuable time for them with a man off the park…
Very strong scrum by the Canes, te ball just came out too quickly…
Canes have got to score here…
Again bad handling costing them…
Nonu knocks…. oi
Canes should play with the forwards more, that’s where the Reds are suspect.
Yay….weer Ra’py tyd 🙂
Hoe gaanit met almal hier?
Reds under huge pressure in their scrum, coughs up the ball and Gear scores in the corner…
Game on!
Try Canes
Now can Weepu kick one ?
138 @ Os_Botter – hello
Hallo otter
Goed en jy ?
Reds so stupid there trying to run it from their line, that lead to that try by the Canes.
Reminds me of the Boks helter skelter stuff in 2008.
Reds 21 / 20
21 – 20 Reds
Nice kick Weepu
3 tries a piece….
Goed man….die Engelse is heel op hol oor die verkiesing hier. Is maar te bly om bietjie ander geselskap raak te loop.
Try Ellison !!!
Bonus point try Ellison for Canes
Thanks Weepu
27 – 21 Canes
