AB sal ongelooflike selfvertoue he as die eindstryd tussen die Chiefs en Crusaders is vir die Championship reeks. Maar imagine as SA twee spanne in finaal kry.
High tackle by Freuan… penalty, quick tap
The Saders are now breaking the Landers at will. They play the game at such pace that if the referee doesn’t keep an extremely close eye on them, they get away with a lot of penalisable mistakes.
Arghhhh, forward pass by the Landers on attack
Nie naby so groot forward as Aplon se bonuspunt drie teen die Sharks nie.
Jeeeez, what pace by the Saders…. speeding the game up to light speed!
Saders damn close again….
Penalty Saders, against No 8 Blue
89 @ grootblousmile:
True, they exemplify the AB killer instinct. It’s something the saffer teams and especially the Boks really lack.
Try Wyatt Crockett
Crusaders 44 / 13 Highlanders
99 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, why we always seem to be defending a lead is beyond me!
Intercept try by Hosea Gear….
Crusaders 44 / 18 Highlanders
