Stick around. Your insights are always welcomed.
Penalty Tuks… to touch they go
Tuks look up for this game
Tryyyyyyyyy Jerome Pretorius!
heeeee haaaaaaaaaaa
237@ Bullscot:
I believe you have water shortages in some areas already, yet there was snow on the ground in a Sky insert yesterday.
TRYYYYYY TUKS.
Uh oh, perhaps that was just a lucky break by Tuks?
Tuks 5 / 0 Maties
Lekker rugby by Tuks!
Relieving Maties penalty
Right Maties, lets get up field
Another Maties penalty, side entry
247@ Just For Kicks:
And perhaps the Lions will win the Super Rugby competition!
….and they fluff it
Now Tuks get a relieving scrum
Tuks penalty, the Maties tighthead pulling the scrum down…. eish they don’t manage to kick out
253@ Scrumdown:Hmmmmm, when you look at it like that, maybe not!
Almost a Maties tighthead….
Draghoender left standing!
Oooh, bad luck Maties
Going to be a very hard game…
Tuks with a relieving penalty now… kick it out, dammit!
Maties looking good now, just need to convert it into points. Going to be a storming match, I predict
263@ Just For Kicks:
Both sides look like they’re not lacking in the motivation department.
Maties rumbling well
Strategy break….
Little to choose between the sides
264@ Scrumdown:Through my one eye, I can only see the Maties, hehehe. Yup, both sides looking good
Pink ball time.
Massive maul by Maties
Try by Andre Smith for Maties… under the sticks
Ball and chains made an awesome apple pie, which went straight onto my lap with that tryyyyyyyyyy!!!!
