White card for a possible tackle… did not look bad
Crusaders 18 / 11 Cheetahs
Skielik lyk die Staat lus vir speel.
Slegs 7 punte in dit, unbelievable…
Okay not a true tip tackle that, but he lifted the Cheetah play up and just dropped him from a hight. A ban of a week coming up I feel.
Niks fout met daardie duikslag van Maitland nie.
155@ Puma:hight = height
Cheetahs give away a penalty, but good defence by them
156@ bdb:Though you can’t just drop a player from a height. Should be lifted down. He will cop a ban for that I feel. He just dropped him from a height.
Penalty saders, right in front
Crusaders 21 / 11 Cheetahs
159 @ Puma:
Commisserations with the Sharks loss, Oubaas Rickety Knees
Hoe laat speel SA in die 7’s ?
Dankie Marshall !
De Bruyn has a new dance named after him, its called the “5 Step Tewango”
Not straight into the lineout by the saders, after a dubious penalty to them
130@ Cheetah4eva:Thanks buddy. One my team let slip there.
Rooting for your Cheetahs here now. Only team to have beaten the Saders from our franchise last year.
Uncontested scrums… Cheetahs should be relieved
Ohhhh that was close! Good play Goosen!
163: 13h08 en 11 sekondes
Ah no, uncontested scrums – how long before they bring in uncontested tries. Highly dislike this part of the game
162@ grootblousmile:Thanks gbs, jeez felt disappointed in our loss. Sharks should have won that one for sure. Instead we get the consolation bonus point.
Anyhow just hope Cheetahs can pull this one back.
Here we go! Soos sees our forward passes, but misses the opposition forward passes!
@ bdb:
He he he, dankie man.
172 @ Puma:
Don’t think the Cheetahs can… but then again stranger things have happened
Dink julle nie Ashley sal ‘n goeie stut uitmaak nie ? Het reeds die gewig en ingeboude skrumpet, sal die vinnigste stut ooit wees .. na Richard Bands natuurlik !
Wonder vir watter franchise gaan Goosen volgende speel ? 🙂
Dan Carter not very active, just a link man
Saders penalty, against Brussow for not staying on his feet
