Parody of errors by Fourie du Preez
How the FUKC can Barnes allow the Welsh to play the ball when he’s lying on the ground?
Priestland misses a drop from right in front
Escape for us , i hope
Phweew…
Penalty against Hougie, kickable
Hierdie ref raak besimpeld
He misses…. breathe, in, out!
NH Refs just don’t blow the tackle situation the same as SH refs. Taffy never let go of the ball carrier.

Fok, dis close mense
Less than 5 min left
Speel nou daar in hul 22
Penalty Bokke… too far out
heeltemal te close vir my

This match has been, without doubt, THE best match of the weekend.
