Staat penalty… going to ground at the tackle
Saders steal Staat lineout
Daar gaan die lynstaan ook vir ‘n klomp bollie…
Ek wil nou nie te krities wees nie, maar ek dink die Saders as ‘n kampioenspan verdien ‘n beter/groter stadion. Daar is skole wat beter pawiljoene het en kyk na die doelgebied, is dit 5 meter lank. Die skare sit ook sommer op die veld.
Hulle was dalk te oorhaastig om ‘n nuwe stadion te kry.
Staat will kick themselves
Matt Todd must be a contender for a yellow card in this game.
Playing right on the edge.
Saders penalty, against Adriaanse.
Shot at goal
Missed the sitter left
64@ bdb:
Stem saam. Hierdie stadion is nie rarig op Super Rugby standaard nie.
Maar nou ja. Commentators just saying that the lights are from Carisbrook, grass from AMI and seats from all over.
Maybe a Union that would rather develop over time while keeping the bank balance in the black.
Staat kicking right down the Saders throats
69 @ Scrumdown:
Well, not to bad for a stadium built in a few months
Zimabawe 0 – 12 down to the PHILLIPINES in Hong Kong, after the Host Nation beat Tonga earlier.
Saders penalty, between halfway and the Staat 10m line.
Staat scrum kakking again
Bring Coenie on! Cheetahs are still well in it!
Scores still tied after 27 minutes, well done Staat.
Massive Saders scrum on Staat’s own ball.
Not looking flush for the Staat in the scrums, not at all
71 @ grootblousmile:
Better to have a Citi Golf that you don’t owe anything on, than a Ferrari that the bank owes?
Swak wedstryd tot dusver. Dit is asof die Cheetahs wag om pakslae te kry in plaas van iniasitief te neem.
Nee wat, kom ons wees nou maar eerlik, dis ‘n ou k@k stadium.
Daai staal pawiljoene sit mens in 2 weke op met ‘n groot span…
Cheetahs under the cosh! Luckily the ‘Saders still not too flash as yet
Good Saders maul.. ref’s arm is out for advantage.
Penalty given
77@ Scrumdown:
Should read “bank owns”, getting Puma fingers as I get closer to the half century mark!
Crusaders 6 / 3 Cheetahs
77: ook waar, wou seker nie die pad van Otago loop nie.
Saders playing self destructing ruggas in their own 22…
77 @ Scrumdown:
Anything fully paid for is better than a monster not paid for… always!
Saders pinch a dropped Matewis ball
85: gaan ons die Reds wen vanmiddag ?
Cheetahs in good attacking position now, if only they can get a clean line out…
Lourens Adriaanse injured… Coenie warming up
