25: goed, nou dat jy dit noem, maak dit dalk sin, ek gee toe: vir oorlewing in die s15 reeks is elke punt belangrik. Is die 7 punte wat hul op toer gekry het nie reeds die beste wat hul nog gekry het nie?
Penalty Brumbies, deep in their half.
Landers doing all of the play, Brumbies counter-attacking was what gave them 2 tries
Penalty Brumbies, early tackle
30: ja, maar al die wedstryde se punte tel, ook teen oorsese spanne.
Brumbies 17 / 3 Highlanders
@ Cheetah4eva:
So verlede week moes hul dalk ook maar eerder uitgeskop het en darem die 2 punte gevat het ?
So SA is nou 0 uit 2 vir die naweek. Ons moet nou almal hoop die Bulle en Leeus wen die twee buitelandse spanne, die Reds en die Stormers.
Penalty Landers, very kickable
Brumbies 17 / 6 Highlanders
New Zealander Paddy O’Brien has been moved sideways at the International Rugby Board, after seven years as the elite referees’ manager.
O’Brien will move into a similar role for rugby sevens in a switch billed by the IRB as underlining its commitment to sevens ahead of rugby making its return to the Olympic Games at Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
New Zealander Bryce Lawrence has also been dumped from the elite referee panel, which only includes one New Zealander now in Chris Pollock, although Steve Walsh is in there now as the sole Australian representive.
The controversial Englishman Wayne Barnes is also gone – good news for All Blacks fans still harbouring a grudge after the 2007 World Cup exit to France – as are his compatriots Dave Pearson and Andrew Small.
They’re joined in getting the chop by Irishman Peter Fitzgibbon and Mark Lawrence of South Africa.
Only 8 people picked Brumbies, and superBul has it so far
Brumbies just so much more fluid in their backline attacking
40 @ Just For Kicks:
About time they cleaned up the referees….
Come on Brumbies! Skop die landers stukkend!!
@ Just For Kicks:
I am one of the wise 8!
Landers defensive scrum…. forward pass by the Brumbies on attack
Brumbies look all over Highlanders so far, but just got back from the cellar – again, am I wrong?
@ The_Young_Turk:
Of course I was also one of the dumbnuts that went for the Sharks…
Landers doing well off their line by Poki
43@ grootblousmile:Not sure about Mark Lawrence getting the chop though, I thought he had already retired from international rugby? Perhaps just the IRB getting the last laugh?
47 @ Just For Kicks:
Hey, you must stop suiping on the skelm there in your cellar!
48@ The_Young_Turk:Oh, but you are so wise, I would never call you a dumb nut, perhaps your finger just slipped onto the Sharks?
47@ grootblousmile:I wish I was, this time it was one of my lesser grey mattered clients who didn’t know how to work one of the pumps
Tryyyyyyyyyy Smith… for the Landers
Try Highlanders
@ Just For Kicks:
It was the farking mutt, I tell you. He knows f-all about super rugby. Great when it comes to the 6 nations, but a real dog about super rugby. I think I must shoot him and get another…
Great driving maul
….and ends in a penalty the other way. Just dumb
