Try to Robbie Fruean again
THIS man is on great form
84 @ JFK,
Shit happens bud, I have learnt, that in this wonderful game, nothing is a given. It was a cracking game though, and even though the Cheetahs, or more pertinently, Sias choked, the Cheetahs played very well for 60 minutes. Now they need to do it for 90!
1st time I get half a point on Bru for a loss lol.
Crusaders 34 / 23 Waratahs
The Parrot on as a sub
Saders slowly but surely creeping into serious contention in this year’s competition
Come on Waratahs…. freegin hell
@ GBS & JFK,
Yeah, saw on FB, big blow for the Cheetahs, and for Goosen, but the kid has a good head on his shoulders, ok 1 shoulder lol. Sias was good last year, so hopefully he can clear his head, and make amends.
But yeah, there is only one Goosen, the lad oozes class, and the Boks will need to get him involved sooner rather than later. No 10 imo gets even close to this boy, in all over skills, vision, and the willingness to have a crack.
He will put big boys like Fransie Steyn, Francois Venter, etc in to huge gaps to wreak havoc.
So, with the Parrot’s return from injury, the Saders are back to their full compliment of players in the squad, injury bogey gone, a thing of the past
97 @ Cheetah4eva:
Very untimely injury, with an eye on the Junior World Cup too… pity
17 Minutes to go… Saders leading by 11
Need a Tahs penalty or an unconverted try for Bru.
Hardly looking likely the way the Saders are playing now
98@ grootblousmile:…and they’re hitting form at just the right time too!
102 @ Just For Kicks:
Yes… amazing that they ALWAYS start their season slow and cumbersome
So…… the parrot hasn’t changed his spots!!!!
Parrot pinged for offside… shot at goal…. heeee haaaaa
Crusaders 34 / 26 Waratahs
Ref… blow the final whistle!
Phweeew, Saders knock, but they get an easy penalty
Hard decision on the Tahs
Crusaders 37 / 26 Waratahs
I don’t think the Tahs have been told what to do at kick off
Penalty Tahs… on middle spot
I need the Sader with 1 more unconverted try. C’mon the Parrot
9 Minutes of play left
Tahs now inside the Saders 22
Saders get the scrum
I just do not want the Saders to score more points….
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Sareltjie!
Great try Pretorius
Crusaders 37 / 33 Waratahs
