Crusaders (26) 33 / Waratahs (13) 18 (Final Score)
The Crusaders hosted the Waratahs at Travalgar Park, Nelson (not in Christchurch due to the massive earthquake) at 08:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 and CSN on TV in SA.
The Crusaders won comfortably in the end but the nail in the Waratahs coffin were the 2 fast scores before halftime and the fast try just after halftime to give the Saders the buffer they needed.
Scorers:
Crusaders: 4 Penalties & 3 Conversions Dan Carter, 2 Tries Robbie Fruean, 1 Try Sonny Bill Williams

Morning All….Struggling with the ‘Local Lingo’ this morning!! 😉
Sonny Bill Williams has such good hands, through the tackle.
61@ Blue Bird:
Hello
Well, now that we have you on we might just switch to English.
20 points is a huge deficit to get with 27 min left
Would also be good if the Saders cannot get their 4th bonus point try….
@ Pietman:51 – Morning Piet, when you getting round to that quick champers I told you to make?..hehe.
Lyk of dit die rooi span naweek gaan wees, Saders gaan hier wen en hopelik die Leeus vanaand.
Morning everyone.
Only turned on tv 5min back. Saders looking really good here. Turned on the tv just in time to see SBW try.
@ Blue Bird:61 – Morning BB, when you headed to our beautiful shores? You ready for the Argus?
You must be in the best shape of your life right now…hehe. All that training, you must be super fit.. 🙂
68@ Puma:
Hello Oerwoudkat
Saders back on attack, looking for their bonus point now
@ grootblousmile:70 – More klein boeta,
Missed all of the first half of this game and a bit of the 2nd. Saders are gonna be hard to beat for both our teams. We play em over there.
Good morning guys.
Good on the Crusaders, they must pulverise the Waratahs.
@ Puma:
Howdy Puma, no, I have saved it thx, and I also gave it to a Saffa friend from Brits in Jedda (hy is n ou mampoerstoker uit die Marico-distrik!), I believe he is on it at the moment and the corks should be popping by this Sunday…!
Kom Tahs, keer ten minste die bonuspunt.
72@ Puma:
Well, Saders have not had the best start to the Comp…. a loss to the Blues.. and then that unfortunate quake draw
12 min left in the game… only 1 try so far in the 2nd half
Dit is maar die 3de rondte, en nog net 4 spanne wat nie verloor het nie: Landers, Stormers, Sharks en Bulle.
Gaan ‘n taai super reeks wees hierdie jaar.
78@ bdb:
Hopelik is dit na die naweek net SA Spanne wat nog nie verloor het nie…
Try Pakalani for the Tahs
Saders 33 / 18
5 min left…. keep the score as is, please
Dagga speel nie so goed vir die Saders as wat hy vir die Landers gespeel het nie.
82: telling is perfek vir ons SA spanne, solank daar nie bonuspunte is nie.
Less than 2 min left
pietman @ 53

gbs @ 52

@ Pietman:74 – LOL. Piet, I gave you that recipe cause it only takes a week to make. That is the quickest alcohol beverage to make over there, the others take time. Remember only ONE grain of yeast otherwise the bottle will blow up…..HAHAHAHA.
Saders win… no bonus points either way!!
Heeee haaaaaaaaaaaaa
As Sharks, Stormers en Bulle wen, dan lê ons 1,2,3 op die log na more.
