Rebels have possession… Face gets it back…. they kick the ball away…
Gbs, Having problems this morning again trying to get my posts through boet.
Penalty to the Rebels, in their own half.
2 Minutes left
Okay now that post went through in flash……..hehehe
Force steal the Rebels lineout…. looong way to go
Tho’ for my bru this won’t be such a disaster. I’ll catch up to Smiles and Tapper will be another rare one back
Less than a minute to go
Hooter goes, Force still with possession
Well that is my bru totally messed up AGAIN this weekend..
Force still have it, but Rebels defence resolute….
Farce going backwards….
Penalty Rebels
They bang it into touch.
Rebels win by 1
YEEESSSSSSSSSS!
The great and mighty Tapper has failed! Oh woe is me!!
Damn the Rebels get the win by one point.
@ grootblousmile:
At least I catch up to you!
Final Score: Melbourne Rebels 30 / 29 Western Force
Superbru is of academic interest by now! Best I stick to watching the games, because predicting outcomes is just to stressful lol
Arghhhhhh…. Bru in it’s Mu!
@ Puma:
At least we get .5 of a point
47@ Cheetah4eva:hahaha. We in the same boat mate. Jeepers just can’t get my picks right this year. Teams you think will get a win lose and the ones you think will lose for sure win by a point or two. I am so behind now will never catch up. Should just go in a pick blind! ………hahaha.
Hehehehehe! Cheers Tappers, this one is on you!!!!
Freegin hell… it’s a lottery… and I have a habit of not betting well.
@ Pietman:
Congrats mate!
110@ The_Young_Turk:hahaha. The reason I picked teams to win no more than by 5 to probably pick up a half point. Though have Bulls by 7 and Stormers by 10. They better not let me down….lol.
I needed two wins here to make up for a bad fall last week. Same this week as last week, first two teams lost then and the same this weekend. Jeez just can’t pick them this year at all.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Salute Turk…too close for comfort though…..my hope rests on the Cheetahs and Sharks now.
@ Puma:
Yes, it’s a good strategy when you are not sure of the winner. How the hell do guys like tapper do it though?
Amazing game, 21-0 up and the Rebels nearly blew it….
113@ grootblousmile:
Lol nee wat it’s too frustrating to play Superbru! I get
