@ Just For Kicks:
Flok, now I’ve got to go even higher. How about 23?
75@ Cheetah4eva:Agree with you. Goosen done the right thing, whether some here or the commentators thought he never. He made sure Cheetahs got their bonus point.
To be honest what would Cheetahs have gotten out of it had they gone and got the try? A draw which would have given them 2 bonus points instead of one. If they allowed Saders back in then Saders could have gotten a bonus point try and Cheetahs would have walked away from that game with no points.
Take the points this early in the season. One point was a cert, two may have been or just may have not been. No need here to risk the one certain point. Goosen done the right thing. If it was a semi or final and a team had to win we no doubt would have seen Cheetahs keep ball in hand and go for the try.
And another…
Clin Slade slots it

Try time Highlanders
Nou watter reël moet jy volg: as jy die ou duik moet ju ‘release’, maar dan staan die ou weer op en druk ‘n drie ? So jy moet kies tussen ‘n strafskop en drie afstaan ?
Farkit Bumblies! Don’t let this match slip, please.
Highlanders have come out strong after half time
104@ The_Young_Turk:Hahaha, I like your dog, especially if he got it wrong again!!!!
Colin Slade crocked… possibly a broken bone??
@ Just For Kicks:
I’m telling you, if he’s lost me this pick, he’s gonna be one dead dog!
Brumbies could take the lead again now
