Chiefs en Landers baie beter hierdie jaar. Gaan ‘n stryd afgee in die NZ konferensie.
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYY CRUSADERS!
Chiefs steal the Saders ball on their own line…
… Ahhh but here’s a Saders try… Robbie Fruean
Chiefs 16 / 13 Crusaders
Need the Chiefs to win this one, had to go the other way on Bru, in the hope of redeeming my lowly position on the log!!!! I’m sick of looking up Young Turks skirt
59@ Pietman: That would be the Stormers if you go by last years stats.
@ Just For Kicks:
Yes, right. My wife just told me so (she is from that area). But the name of the new beer also escapes her now (should be on Google Napier SA though). I saw the little brewery there the other day on my way to Swellendam, on the left near the creek at the edge of town.
Penalty Saders, on Halfway… also a flag out against Tim Nanai-Williams
The game has turned into an interesting one, all of a sudden
67@ Pietman:Theres a great winery too, owned (and the wine is called) Jean Danieel. His wife, Renee, has a restaurant in town to (again name escapes me) that is top notch. I rate Jeans wines as the best I have ever tasted in South Africa
Penalty Chiefs… on about Halfway… does not look like the NZ kickers can kick for distance like the SA kickers..
.. Well, Cruden goes for goal, let’s see…. short, as I expected…
Sjoe, falls short.
@ Loosehead:
Right, Stormers 2011, great defense. This year however, they are without Sadie, JJ, Mossie, Pieter and Francois Louw and a kuk Habana, all of them great defenders last year.
@ Just For Kicks:Just remembered, the restaurant is called Renaissance.
Try Chiefs??
TMO
Taumalolo
Awarded…
@ Just For Kicks: Can you recommend a rose that is not sweet? I really like the Diemersdal. Crisp and refreshing.
Chiefs 21 / 13 Crusaders
Hier kak my superbru alweer.
Penalty Saders… this one is kickable.
Blyendaal going for goal.
@ Just For Kicks:
Cheers, will definately give it a shot when in the area next month.
@ Loosehead:
Must also really make an attempt this time round to get over to your place in the ‘Ville’ for a snort of red.
Ok, maybe we are still in the game.
Chiefs 21 / 16 Crusaders
Only 5 points in it, boys…
My Bru pick was Saders by 4.
81@ Pietman: We have been trying for years to get you over for a meal.
YES!YES! YES!
Eaaaasy penalty for the Saders, on the Chiefs 22, right in front.
21-19
Chiefs 21 / 19 Crusaders
2-Point game now
77@ Loosehead:Mine, Dry, fruity, made from Merlot and is only R30 retail!
