@ Loosehead:Soooo close!!!
@ Loosehead:
Try Poppies or Stompies instead
58 @ Loosehead:
Try harder-you know you can
@ Just For Kicks:
But so far.
Rebels looking better now
Langbek has stolen a Rebels breakdown ball… wow
STOR :poop:
Rabbles trying to attack but look so ineffectual.
@ Loosehead:Fukken smilies.
Injury looks bad. Aplon
Aplon down… looks serious
Man down
Night night Aplon
Aplon down big time.
Aplon was in La-la Land….
FFs, Aplon dropped out cold!
He’s hard!
Tough as nails – good man
He needs to go off, he was out cold
@ Loosehead:Try saying sremrots. It may help to start with. Slow and steady.
Rebels hanging around the Stormers 22 for a while now, can they come away with some points?
Stompies scrum has sunk to what must be one of the worst in the comp. Malherbe just is not up to it and without the muscle of Etsebet their is not enough power.
Gio moet gaan rus. Hierdie kan nie goed wees vir hom nie!
82 @ kwaailight:
Agree….
Good defence from the Stormers and a penalty awarded
Stormers get a relieving penalty under their own posts
Rubbles have been camped on the Stormers line the last few mins. Dangerous tactics by the Stompies to give so much possession to the Rabbles.
….and thats why you shouldn’t take soooooo long to throw in!
I have to say, it’s nice to have 2 Authors assisting me this afternoon… Kickers and Loskoppie.
Thanks buds!
Rubbles making all the play now…
28 Minutes has flown by…
