WP hard on attack… 1 m short
Held up. Back to the advantage.
WP over the line, held up…. they go back for a penalty right in front
17-6, Fleck does not look happy.
Staat 17 / 6
Lionel Cronje looks like a good buy for the Bulls. Will he get any game time though?
Hennie Danniller, runs a bit like a girraffe, but he is very elusive and strong
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT TRY TO LAPPIES!
Staat…. tryyyyyyyy Labuschagne!
And the conversion is good.
36 @ Loosehead:
He should… it’s between him and Louis Fouche as Morne’s deputy.
Staat 24 / 6
Staat by far the most industrious side in this match, so far… and their finishing is lethal
Province youngsters just too charitable these days. Gave the Bulls the same kinda lead at Loftus last week….
My word, this Goosen is going to be a great player.
WP lose the lineout.
Tell you what, the young crop of flyhalves in SA is looking bloody good.
Johan Goosen
Louis Fouche
Lionel Cronje
Elton Jantjies
Sias Ebersohn
… and of course Lambie, Morne Steyn….
ALL of them better than Colin Slade, for instance….
Koster is getting through a huge amount of work.
JJ Engelbrecht make a hash of things.
47@ grootblousmile:
Indeed.
Daar kak Brok
Staat back on attack again, 3m out…
Penalty WP, relieving one….. lucky, lucky!
51 @ Loosehead:
Hy kak ALTYD
There is a blikoor in trouble on the other side of the field.
Os is a big piece of meat.
Dirty WP players have injured Izak Van Der Westhuizen
55 @ Loosehead:
Janee, groot seun… but he’s gotten lekker vet jong!
What a steal by Coenie.
Lemoenetyd
Almost a bit of a shambles by the Staat prop… tried to kick the ball out…. hehehe
@ grootblousmile:
Ek het ook lekker vet geword.
