Try Dagg.
Try Israel Dagg for the Saders
Good game this…compared to the bs the Lions dished up last night, eishhh.
Seems Lions were dumfounded by the uncontested scrum, they didn’t know how to play off the fringes of those static scrumdowns, flippin tight five spread all over the park, loitering.
Crusaders 10 / 3 Highlanders
Tryyyyyyyyy Andrew Hore for the Landers!
Goooooo Bucketheads!
Poor defence from the Crusaders.
Crusaders 10 / 10 Highlanders
Goeie drie daar deur Hore.
NZ spanne moet die geleentheid gebruik om die Saders te klop wat sonder Carter en Makou is, as die twee eers terug is gaan hul nie geklop word in NZ nie.

Probleem is, ek dink nie die Highlanders is altyd ‘n 80 minute span nie.
Laasweek teen die Chiefs was hulle, so kom ons hoop maar so vandag ook.
Landers lyk goed. Kan iemand vir my die ‘seal off’ reël verduidelik, want hoe gaan jy jou bal beskerm as jy nie mag ‘seal of’ nie ?
Jeeeez, Landers amper weer deur.
Saders senters lek soos ‘n sif
Bliksem, just think how much windowlene and newspaper you would need to clean that glass roof.
41 @ ben_die_bul:
Ook nounet na daai ding gekyk… die ouens het gelyk of hulle op hulle voete was EN deur die hekke gekom het…
43 @ Loosehead:
Hehehehe
Now this is some awesome rugby! So far the best match of the 2012 S15,by some margin. Good day to all the RT folks, have a great rugby day.
Weer deur die Saders middeveld…
46 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hello Mielie4eva
Hierdie Landers is behoorlik omgesukkel… hulle moer die Saders voor, middel en wyd!
Penalty Landers, very kickable
Highlanders 13 / 10 Crusaders
The Crusades need to slow the game down and get some structure going.
Straight into touch from the kick-off by the Saders, scrum middle spot
43: as hul daar T20 gaan speel moet hul net hoop Chris Gayle en Albie Morkel is nie daar nie, anders gaan hul glasrekening baie hoog wees.
46: sterkte vir jou span vanmiddag, hoop hul kom tweede ….
Penalty from the resulting scrum to the Landers!
They are going for goal
Missed
How’s the website speed for you okes… very very fast my side.
