6 min left, Crusaders with the put in in the middle of the field
Another Saders Free Kick.. scrum again
I sense a Saders penalty coming….
Don’t agree with you guys that Carter has been that bad. Not his best game true, but not at a Stain level!
Saders wil ‘n strafskop melk
Massive Chiefs defence… and there’s the Saders penalty… eish
Carter to goal….
Short… well short too
Carter needs to miss this one
3 Minutes to go… Saders lineout
This seems like quite a tense ending, come on Crusaders!
Can the Chiefs hold out?
Carter misses with just a few minute to go, has he just lost it for the Saders?
Did Carter choke?
Skrums is tot die voordeel van die Saders.
@ The_Young_Turk:In Carter terms, probably lower than stain level
The way these two teams have played, I think it would be easier for our saffer team to face the Saders in the final.
2 Minutes, Chiefs scrum just outside their own 22
Saders on attack, but Chiefs defending well
Hooter goes….
Saders still have the ball
Chiefs must’nt give away a penalty now….
Saders knock… game over!
Chiefs win it
WELL DONE CHIEFS!
Final Score: Chiefs 20 / 17 Crusaders
The Ciefs have done it! The better team won and the old stars were shown up. Unfortunately for the saffer team that has to face them in the final.
Well played, Chiefs!
Wow, great Semi-Final, officiated well!
Wetie of ons hierdie manne kan wen nie, nie in Hamilton nie….
One can tell that this loss has been really painful for Makou!
Congrats Chiefs, may feel like a looong day waiting to see if they stay at home or have to get on a jet plane for the final, sure if they are watching tomorrow they will be cheering for the Sharks
Well done Chiefs, now to see who plays them. Good luck both SA teams tomorrow, do us proud, whoever wins.
See you all later
