OK folks, who is joining me here… come on let’s have a lekker chat this afternoon!
Game ON!
Jeez almost an intercept try by SWD just after the kick-off
Will we see another close game like last night’s Promotion / Relegation game?
Scrappy start to the game, few knocks already.
Kickable penalty for Leopards
Leopards 3 / 0
Leopards forwards look the stronger pack… and a bit more organised.
Another kickable penalty for the Leopards… retaining ball well, driving up well with the forwards and causing SWD to be desperate enough to infringe.
Leopards 6 / 0
Try Raubenheimer for SWD
Leopards 7 / 5
Penalty Leopards, almost right in front… easy 3 pointer
Leopards 9 / 5
Tryyyyyyyyy Sarel Marais for the Leopards
Leopards 16 / 5
Tryyyyyyyyy Danie Dames for the Leopards.
…by now far the stronger team…
Leopards 23 / 5
Flok, maar ek gesels lekker met myself… hehehe
Kickable penalty for SWD… bit far, so they go for touch
Lemoenetyd
Back just now… tine to replace the jeans with some shorts, windy but hot and humid here in Gauteng.
2nd Half the Leopards will be playing WITH the wind, in addition to their healthy lead.
2nd Half ON!
Correction: SWD now playing WITH the wind…
Penalty for the Leopards, on the SWD 22m line, 15m from the side.
Kick goes right over the top of the one upright… so it’s a miss
Yellow for Walter Karrevaan Venter of the Leopards.
Try SWD??
TMO
No try… short
Ref goes back for the penalty, they set up the lineout again.
This time it’s a try, Dougie Hellmuth
Leopards 23 / 12
