7m out…
Cruden has had a strong start…
Saders clear the ball… and the ball was touched by a Chiefs player, Saders lineout
Saders verwerk al die druk, en Chiefs kry nie punte nie.
While NZ have found an able replacement for Carter in Cruden, the Boks are still struggling to find a decent replacement for Naas Botha
Chiefs attacking well… and getting accross the gain line at will
Chiefs just can’t finish it, but hell, they are looking the part
MaKou miles and miles offside… penalty Chiefs.
Shot at goal
Saders have survived the Chiefs assault on their line, but Chiefs making most of the play now.
Slotte van Chiefs behoort AB se slotte te wees hierdie jaar.
34 @ The_Young_Turk:Hahaha, but I thought Derek Hougaard took over that mantle!
Missed to the right
C’mon Chiefs
Chiefs very, very close…

Hi, Neef-At
Looks short… or is it on the line?
Could be a try
Yeehaa, try awarded
Try awarded!
Whoop, whoop!
Chiefs 10 / 3 Crusaders
Chiefs on fire… they steal a Saders breakdown ball.
… arghhh, knock by the Chiefs
Saders have to hit back soon if they want to remain in this fight in this half.
SBW gaan die Saders senters besig hou, het al ‘n paar keer daar deurgekom.
Saders knock on attack… defensive Chiefs scrum on their 22, middle of the field
10 Minutes to play in the 1st half left
Saders penalty… against the Chiefs tighthead, folding in
Ek weet nie van daardie een nie, Joubert ?
Chiefs 10 / 6 Crusaders
