@ grootblousmile:
Who would you prefer won through, seems like SWD done really well to get this far with all their money problems and Leopards didn’t set the world alight at the top level, but nor sure it would be good to have a team with such an unstable admin/finance set up in the main Currie Cup.
Penalty by Clayton Durand for the Leopards
SWD 20 / 16
31@ Bullscot:
Man, I’m a neutral in this case… would’nt mind it either way…
Kickable penalty for SWD
They go for touch
@ grootblousmile:
11 point cushion then for Leopards
Tryyyyyyyyy SWD
Bonus point… 1 Goal achieved….
SWD 25 / 16
Now SWD needs to close the 6-point margin….. very doable
Gee can’t keep up here, did they miss the conversion?
Commentators saying that the SWD will go through if the game ended this way…. their 5 Log points here PLUS 1 Log Point from game 1 = 6 Log Points, against the 5 Log Points PLUS 0 from this one for the Leopards = 5 Log Points….
Interesting….
40@ Bullscot:
Yes
@ grootblousmile:
Of course, forgot about SWD bonus point for tries in the first leg, well then you have to think they are favourites now
SWD 5m out, their lineout, they maul it….
Scrum Leopards….
43@ Bullscot:
They sure are… and playing well now.
But if Leopards can lose by 7 or less then they get a bonus point and its even stevens what then???
47@ Bullscot:
Then Points difference clinches it for the Leopards.
Try SWD!!!!!! Jaco terblanche.
TMO
Try awarded and converted
SWD 32 / 16
48 @ grootblousmile:
Of course man, sorry am really dopey here tonight 🙂
… even the points deficit has now been erased….
Oh well that has clinch it for SWD, how much time is left GBS, time on top has been on 52min for a bit?

Thats Murphy’s law see now the clock updated.
Penalty Leopards, 20m out, middle of the field… they take the scrum
Good defence SWD
@ superBul:
Dagse superBul seems like SWD have this one wrapped up and will be promoted. By the way SA bolwed Pakistan out for 201, 4 wickets for Tsotsobe, latest I saw SA 94/1 in the 18th, Amla out.
