I feel cheated when I invest time in wstching rugby and officials insist on influencing a match dishonestly. In this case he had repeated slo-mo’s to help him make a good decision … but he still chose to benefit the team ‘that needs to win’ … BS!
Penalty Force on halfway, quick tap
MaKou steals one, then knocks
pietman @ 25
lol lol lol
Penalty Farce, Owen Franks kicks the ball from an offside position
Penalty against Matt Todd… Force goes for touch
@ grootblousmile:
I have 0/2 so far this weekend from my ‘picking effort’, but I have Saders by 40 for this one….first time I back Saders, I had no choice.
I resent backing these mofos from Chrischurch, really.
I’d rather crawl naked through an HIV infected cell block in Diepsloot Prison than to be seen as a Saders’ supporter, I tell you…
Offside call against Saders hooker…. shot at goal
37 @ Pietman:
It’s not known as “Diepsloot” for nothing…. hehehe
Crusaders 12 / 3 Force
Penalty Saders, deep in the Force 22… shot at goal is the option taken
Dis so bleek dag buite, hier innie Panne… en die hele familie slaap hulle roes af….
Crusaders 15 / 3 Force
Crusaders close and playing penalty advantage… penalty given
Scrum taken… huge Saders scrum
TMO
just looking at the number of people attending matches in aus/nz, it would be so bloody easy for us to hold them hostage as we are actually the one bringing in all the money (both by attendance and viewer numbers). jeez!! why are we the ones then that always get the short end of the stick?
Looks short… but the ref’s question was any reason NOT to award the try…
Try given to Ellis… travesty again
Crusaders 22 / 3 Force
Try Matt Todd, bonus point Saders, before halftime
Crusaders 29 / 3 Force
My Bru margin already surpassed…. with 2 of the 4 tries dodgy ones
@ ashley:
SARU se slapgatgeit…..hulle is maar gedurig te ‘ja baas Ozzie, reg so reg baas Kiwi’, lyk my.
Penalty Saders, in front on the 22
Crusaders 32 / 3 Force

OK, so if the Stormers win, they will end in No 1 spot, Chiefs No 2, it’s Brumbies OR Reds for No 3 spot, Saders WILL have 4th spot sowed up…. all for the Sharks & Bulls to do
Brumbies could fall out of the top 6 if Reds win well….
pietman @ 52
dink d nz/aus vorm ook gewoonlik ñ partnership oor baie kwessies. ja, dis dan seker moeilik om jou point of view op hulle af te dwing, maar wat is makliker as om om te draai en hulle in hulle moer te stuur? laat hulle probeer om ñ kompetisie op hul eie op die been te bring. hulle is in elk geval aan die gatkant vd wereld en ver van almal af.
gbs @ 55
yep, so is dit by sanzar
6de is 3de
wonder wat hulle gaan maak as 1 vd conference winners 7de of laer lê, wat sal beteken dat hulle 1 vd top 6 ñ uitspeelplek moet deny!!
56 @ ashley:
Mens het ouens nodig wat ghoenne dra, van SARU, om die ding te draai… en ek dink hulle het net klein albastertjies… die lot van hulle
Saders make subs.. Carter off, Taylor on…
2 Nd Half ON!
