Saders taking their foot off the gas here. Must be losing interest now….hehe.
Bonus point in the bag they don’t need to risk injury from here on I suppose.
@ Just For Kicks:…..Just trying to remain impartial!!!!
Blues Free Kick
@ The_Young_Turk:
Moenie so blaffie man!
Crusaders now practicing their defence… for next week
150@ grootblousmile:
When do the tickets for the first Bok/England test in Durbs go on sale, do you know?
Go Blues!!! You need to score 2 more converted tries and my bru is spot on!
155@ grootblousmile:
😆
Blues penalty…. 20m out
the blues’ struggles tonight reminded me of an article i read a week weeks ago on stuff.co.nz
..
“Henry opens up his laptop to show me how busy he is; every day has multiple engagements. He’s splitting his employment three ways: as a “mentor” to New Zealand’s rugby coaches (he’s been to the Blues, and says drily “YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE I’VE MADE THERE”), ………”
..
yes SIR henry, i can clearly see the difference you’ve made!!
@ The_Young_Turk:
Moenie noual so blaffie man, die Vleisfees op Calvinia is eers in Augustus!
156 @ Puma:
No idea…
And who thought the Blues were making a comeback!
Try to Zac Guildford, the Boozer, under the sticks
Saders go over 50…
@ Pietman:
Sorry, double post, lost the signal for a while…
Crusaders 52 / 5 Blues
@ Pietman:
Don’t worry, Peterman, bidibi and I are old mates. He likes to needle me but it’s just his way of showing how much he cares
162@ grootblousmile:
Think I will go to that game. Season ticket holders get in with their season ticket though. So probably all the best seats are taken. Still will go if there is some decent seats available. Will phone KP on Monday then and see when those tickets go on sale.
You think 2 more Saders tries is asking too much… I mean there’s 13 minutes left
This match will be great for the Saders points difference….
Blues penalty… kick to touch.
10 Minutes to go
168@ Puma:I reckon we should get an R-T posse together and join you!
Blues knock, near the saders line…. hacked far upfield
160@ ashley:
Bwaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…. Had a damn good laugh there…haha
@ grootblousmile:
Janee, hierdie game moet nou klaarkry.
172 @ Just For Kicks:
I’m in… hehehe
Last time I flew to Deben for rugby was the 2007 Super 14 Final….
MaKou drops a ball… almost another Saders try….
@ grootblousmile:
Hoor ek No’nu se naam vir die eerste keer, hy is seker spyt hy het die Saders verruil vir hierdie Auckland mob…
Maybe I should ask the Sharks Rugby Union for a Block of tickets for us…. reserve it for us
Try Tom Marshall
