Canes penalty, just before the hooter… and Barrett will go for goal
Canes 14 / 13 Landers
Lemoenetyd
Again, this is not the best quality rugby.
Nouja, so gaan dit hier… hoe gaan dit nie in die Kaap nie…
I suppose I better phone my one client quick, tell him I’ve managed to retrieve all his DATA for the last 10 years, from a broken hard drive….
Keith Brown takes over as referee for the 2nd Half… someone must have moerred Brycie…..
2Nd Half ON!
New ref, Hahaha I see that they whisk away Lawrence before the end of the match now for his own safety!
Landers immediately hard on attack
66 @ Just For Kicks:
Apparently Brycie injured a knee… hope it’s a career-ending injury!
Landers obviously got a severe blocking at HT whilst the walking sticks had their tea and cake!
Penalty Landers and they have a chance to re-take the lead
Landers 16 / 14 Canes
Jamie Mackintosh slaps a Cane IN the face… would not be surprised if he is cited for that little slappie
Between Hoare and Mealamu they must have the worst record of throwing in at the lineout.
Tryyyyyyyy Landers…. noooo forward pass, the last one…. arghhhh
Bliksem, now that was a try butchered.
Tighthead by the Landers
Fark, anothe try gone a begging.
Landers buther another golden opportunity.
Canes exposed out wide, this time on the left hand wing
It’s almost as if the Canes are that confident, they don’t actually need to move to win this game. They’ve played some of the worst rugby of the season so far!
Penalty Landers, on the Canes 22
Slade mises the sitter
19 Minutes to go in the match.
I need 1 more Landers penalty….
82@ grootblousmile:I need a miracle!
Canes almost through, Savea is such a strong runner, good balance, strong in the hips
83 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehehe
Dan Coles to be suspended for that punch.
Dane Coles of the Canes with a clear punch to a Lander’s face, on the ground
Dane Coles subbed
Only 15 000 spectators at the match
That throw was so skeef it would not be out of place at the Bronx.
