ooooooooooh!! 😯 shit!! i forgot!! now i’ll have to go drink a glass of acid to make up for it!!
29@ Puma:
Yip, SuperBees said that they will be doing some Tiger fishing… and so on
Almost a try for the Landers again, the luck not going their way
Easy penalty for the Landers, they take a quick tap
5m scrum for the Landers
Landers had quite a few good breaks but just lose it in the final movement due to Tahs committed defense. Looks like the rugby gods mean the Tahs to have this one…
This TMO certainly doesn’t waste any time. Finally Landers are rewarded. Hope this marks the start of their come back.
Waratahs 12 / 7 as Rutledge scores, converted by Brown
Come on Landers… close again, 5m out
Tahs get a relieving penalty
@ grootblousmile:15 – Gbs, Thanks boeta. Only saw your post now.
Agree, normally would support Tahs for OldG, but for the saffa sides would like Landers to win. However, looks like Tahs will win this one.
Have to go out for a bit now. Will catch up during the Reds and the rest of the other rugby games later today.
Cheers everyone. Catch up later.
Is the Boeing over yet, I feel like a good Jerretjie-pik-my or an Old Brown Sherry
@ grootblousmile:
Where did you disappear to gbs, gone to kill another goat?
Landers are still in it though. So Go Landers.
Ok now out of here. Catch up later.
43@ The_Young_Turk:
Had the power trip in my Office, twice… must be the fact that the swimming pool filter motor, the Aircon and a heater here in the office was all going at the same time… had to go flip the switch twice, wait for the DSTV signal to come back on line…
Try Tom Carter again… eishhhhhhh
Another try where Beale plays a prominent role.
Waratahs 19 / 7

Fark, it looks like Tahs are going to get a bonus point her. Oh well, i suppose things can’t go the way of saffa supporters every weekend. Sorry gbs, looks like your team is out of the comp.
49@ The_Young_Turk:
It’ll make the Bulls just more determined.
I’m always dismayed at how empty these stands are. These teams are still in the comp and yet they can’t draw spectators. The only stand that is always full is Newlands. What is it with the other teams’ supporters?
51@ The_Young_Turk:
The Stormpoppies are like a Wonderbra… all support & no cups
2nd half on!
@ grootblousmile:
Good snappy one liner but doesn’t address the question.
jeez, bloody highlanders are pathetic!!
wonder whether one can AT LEAST hope that they’ll prevent the tahs from gaining an extra bonuspoint?
This game has now turned drab, so drab that I’m busy scheduling the 2 SA derbies for this afternoon
Landers need to score soon to add some life to this match…
Let’s give the Waratahs credit, however hard it might be, they’re defending like Trojans
One can see why the Tahs are considered to have the second best defense in the comp after the Stompies. Really hard for the landers to break through.
Fark, the margin here is a bit too big for my Bru man!
