Force duffs the kick-off, scrum back on halfway
23 Minutes to go in the match
Another Rebels penalty… and again Huxley will go for goal.
Flok, this is not good for my Bru
Missed to the right
Come on Tapper! Don’t let the Farce slip now, man.
20 Minutes to go
Ideal would be for the Farce to win by 4… not 5 like I’ve picked… because it’ll peg Tapper back a little notch.
Picked Rebels by 4…just keep it as it is….will be happy to be one out on my picks 🙂
Hie ko n flokken ding nou……c’mon Rebels!!!!!
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Nick Cummins, for the Farce!
And the Farce take the lead!!
Farce 29 / 27 Rebels
One more penalty for the Farce and I’m dead-on
I got the Farce by 3 so I need them to score 1 point somehow….

Rebels hard on attack, but Pocock wins his side a penalty.
Relief for the Farce… and me
12 Minutes to go
Ping-pong, ding-dong kicking now.
Directly out by the Farce… arghhhh
Farce steals the Rebels lineout
Rebels kickable penalty… and they will go for goal, Mark Gerrard
Rebels 30 / 29 Force
More wine please…..this is crucial, Tapper looming….okaaaayyyyyy.
Hold on Rebels!!!!
OK, an unconverted Farce try…. that’ll do it
Come on Farce! Tapper, please do your thing and stop farking around, man!
Good work Gerrard, stay in the corner…..Jonker you Plonker!!!!!
Farce having to run it up from their own line…. 5 minutes left
Rebels lineout on halfway
Another game going down to the wire
