90 @ Pietman:
Flok ons Bru, ek wens die Bucketheads bliksem die Saders.
(Sal seker nie gebeur nie)
Eish! Saders will have to up their game, (only for my Bru’s sake), apart from that it could be a refreshing change to see the landers, and Brumbies topping the NZ log!
Saders were hard on attack again just now
Has Zack had a dop and / or a barfight yet?
Morning Everyone.
Come on Landers. I have Saders for a win on bru, but really would love Landers to win here.
Good rugby all round now though.
Penalty Saders, right in front on the 22
Crusaders 21 / 20 Highlanders
@ Loosehead,
I think he is waiting for Coenie to join him for dop, and a scrap in a few weeks time. Then they can also discuss the finer aspects of wing play. Coenie is somewhat of an expert on the matter, thtá when he isn’t scrumming the Bulls poefters into submission. Bwahahaaaa
96 @ Puma:
Hello Oerwoudkat, how are you this fine morning?
Held up.
Adam Thompson almost scores for the Landers… held up
@ grootblousmile:
Janee kyk, ek is glad nie Saders aanhanger nie, ondersteun hulle bloot akademies maar smaak hulle nokkol, te windgat.
Landers hard on attack, 4m out, Saders defence resolute… so far
100@ grootblousmile:Very well and you boeta?
A little nervous for my team later, but that is to be expected until we get Alberts and Deysel back.
@ Puma:
Hello bru, long time no speak, wassup your side, big rain on it’s way, I believe?
103@ Pietman:Howzit Piet, How you doing? Are you back in the Cape or still in Saudi?
103 @ Pietman:
Saders het ook maar kleivoete as jy hulle reg aanvat.
Handbags… Owen Franks with a punch… Andrew Hore on the Landers side.
Penalty Landers
Missed… eishhhhh
105 @ Puma:
How’s the website holding up for you today, old fella?
20 Minutes to go
@ Puma:
Still here, back again in CT 17 May, for 2 months. Should finish up here by December, ham-duh-lilah!
This is good quality rugby.
Offside by the Saders, relieving penalty to the Landers
Saders penalty, just in range for Blyendaal
113@ Pietman: You been there a long time now Piet. You will be looking forward to being back in the Cape for sure.
Crusaders 24 / 20 Highlanders
GBS, heeltemal reg, Landers is ‘n 60 minute span lyk dit my.
Better!
