Goosen…..Springbok material
Wish supporters would shelve this stoopid booing, when opposition teams kick for posts! It achieves nokkol, and just leaves a bad taste!
Go Cheetahs, the Chiefs seem to be losing their mojo a tad!
Booing the kicker has become standard now. While we may long long for more genteel times, lets stop moaning about it and just move on FFS! We complain about the crowds but want to take away their way of participating. I can’t see how booing has ever put a kicker off.
Penalty time again for the Staat for any one of a number of offences!, Goosen slots it 25-20 after 62 min
This is a high quality game.
@ Cheetah4eva:

It is a tragedy that Spies is preferred above Johnson for the Boks.
