Would be criminal if the Bumblies lose this in the last minute.
3 minutes to go.. Brumbies scrum
3 mins to go. Come on Bumblies! You can do it for South Africa!
Brumbies get a penalty and kick out… their lineout
Giteau misses a drop attempt…. hooter goes
Beauty! Take the 3!
Penalty Brumbies… they should go for goal… and do
Game Over
Final Score: Brumbies 22 / 14 Reds
Can’t believe the Bumblies player suggested doing the Reds a favour and not taking the 3!
No points for the Reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now there’s only 1 more result which could make another weekend almost perfect for the Bulls….
@ grootblousmile:
No, I can’t support the Cheatahs anymore. Now the possibility of having 3 saffa teams in good position is too important! Go Sharkies!
72@ The_Young_Turk:
Hehehehe
Gooooooooooooooo Staat!
72@ The_Young_Turk:
Think about it this way… the Sharks could still steal SA Conference winner over the Stormers, once the Stormpoppies go down to the Bulls and the Cheetahs…..
@ grootblousmile:
But then we’ll end up with a saffa team at 3rd spot. A tough ask to win the comp from there! I prefer a saffa team at 1!
