This match puts into perspective just how good the Stormers defence was last week
149@ grootblousmile:sorry, just had to cook breakfast, back now
Turky, I need some points!!!!
152 @ Just For Kicks:
I see Beanie has been watching us, silently, every so often too, today….
@ Just For Kicks:
Just think that the Stormpoppies outscored the Saders 2 tries to one. If they hadn’t had those terrible lock injuries, who knows…
@ grootblousmile:
Must be nervous of you Pink Bulls. Afraid of what you folks could do…
10 Minutes to go in the match
Daggs had an outstanding game
156 @ The_Young_Turk:
I think she checks up on Kickers… sees to it that he behaves himself.
… but I do think she finds us intimidating…. hehehehe
Another Saders penalty for Eaton going off his feet again…
154@ grootblousmile:Hmmmmm, she probably checks my sms’s too!!!! – Nah, she’s passionate about the game too, but theres no telly in the restaurant.
gbs @ 149
sommige van ons moet werk vir ñ lewe nê?
162 @ Ashley:
As die lewe jou druk, druk hom terug!
159@ grootblousmile:she’ll be logged in, but doubt she’s on the computer, she had quite a few breakfasts this morning, and she had some wine-tasting too just now
This Canes team has been very lucky so far this season, have won matches they should never have but i think now the tide is turning and their true abilities are coming through. Didn’t deserve to be in contention, so should start dropping down the table from now on…
4 Minutes to go…
165 @ The_Young_Turk:
Still, a 28-point margin is very large
Canes just haven’t got it quite right today – bad day at the office, we all have them
@ grootblousmile:
Like they beat the Sharks by, remember. And the Sharks ought to have won that match just based on ability.
Less than a minute to go
Hooter goes…. last gasp attack by the Canes
Knock… game over
Final Score: Crusaders 42 / 14 Hurricanes
A thorough shafting that was….
Anyone think the next match will be exciting?
175 @ Just For Kicks:
Nah… but I’ll watch anyway… hehehe
@ Just For Kicks:
I think i’d prefer to cut my toenails…
turk @ 177
lol
gbs @ 163
thanks
177@ The_Young_Turk:Hehehe
