Gooooooo Rugby!
Want a dour draw here… 2 Log points each… something like that
Could be a toughie… Got the Landers by 5
Can Jake the snake’s team pull it off ?
Met die bonuspunt het die Staat van 15 na 13 gespring, nou nie ‘n te groot verbetering nie, maar dalk is dit waarmee hul tevrede is ? Blues lê laast op die log, sies Bulle !
2 @ Blouste:
I have the Landers by 6
Perdjies teen die Lemmetjies
Players out on the pitch
Come on the Landers for my bru.
Game ON!
@ grootblousmile:
Jou omonwonde kennis van die spel s duidelik te sien. 😉
Just can’t satisfy these pienk ballas supporters. They always criticising the Cheetahs for not securing points when they can. Not like the Bulls went for the win, in the final in Bloem, when they opted to kick for posts, and get the draw, now was it. Fact is, they had a bonus point. If the Crusaders turned over the ball, and scored the Crusaders wuld have 5 points, for a bonus point, and the Cheetahs would have none!
The Blou Ballas are always saying we gift the overseas teams 5 points, but when we secure a point, which can be crucial in the final tally, in the Cheetahs scenario, they get criticised, by the same one-eyed Bulls. Remember, every point for the Cheetahs is a bonus in terms of their future!
Ek het net so funny gevoel ek moes dalk die Brumbies geback het… kom ons sien.
Intercept try Timane
@ Cheetah4eva:
There is no way you can compare that game to a final, come now boy even you can see that if you try hard…
Brumbies 7 / 0 Highlanders
What future ?
Thats exactly the point, that point meant nothing for them in terms of the local conference…
Even if they only had “pienk ballas” at least they would ‘ve had some balls at the end of that game… 🙂
Drop Goal by Colin Slade
Brumbies 7 / 3 Highlanders
Lol Blouste the point is, people are always saying the Cheetahs don’t play smart rugby! Then when they do, then it’s also wrong! That’s bullshit, now be honest, how many sides would have had a crack from there vs the Crusaders?
Cheetahs played very well to be in with a shout towards the end. And you owe them an apology as well!! Jy was flokken mislik met ons span, en nou moet jy jou pasteithie eet, met Worscter sous!
See Bryce Lawrence has been axed from the IRB referees panel, while Paddy O’Brien will step down as IRB referee manager and focus on sevens.
11: Toe nou, toe nou, ons voel die pyn saam met julle, maar jy gaan nie vir bonuspunte as jy onder op die log is nie. Jou span het baie goed gespeel en baie goed gedoen tot en met daardie laaste skop. Dalk het Goosen van Naka die opdrag gekry om uit te skop? En, as dit die super 15 finaal was, sou jy tevrede gewees het dat die Staat SO verloor het, nee man, moenie wit en pienk ballatjies vergelyk nie.
21: wou nog byvoeg: Naas sou gehardloop het ….
20 @ Blouste:
Oh goodie… oh double goodie!
@ Cheetah4eva:
Punt is, ek weet nie of dit so slim opsie was nie, ek dink hulle het meer gehad om te wen as om te verloor deur te probeer, verlede week het hul so gewen en in die game het hul reeds ‘n 80 meter plus drie gedruk. Ek dink hul moes probeer het. Glo my, ek dink daar was baie verligte Crusaders toe Goosen daai bal uitskop…
Having said that… Die Cheaters het my verbaas en met tye BAIE goeie rugby gespeel en eintlik hou ek van julle “dom” vrystaatertjies… 😉
Disagree Blouste, a single log point this year can be the difference between ending 10th or 14th!! And the Cheetahs in the context of the SA farked system, needs to get as many points as possible.
Joe Tomane scores again… genade
O ja, en ek stem…Naas sou gehardloop het…
Brumbies lyk goed afgerig, vir ‘n span wat niemand ‘rate’ nie.
Brumbies 14 / 3 Highlanders
@ Cheetah4eva:
Die probleem is dit maak nie saak of jy 10de of 14de is nie, maar waar jy op die SA conference eindig…
