WP 29 / 22 Cheetahs
@ Piet-Springbok-Jan:Scarra has had 2 very good games in 2 starts, has a pretty accurate throw as well (something so many of our hookers lack). Only a matter of time for this 20 year old
Staat knock… and then a WP knock, WP scrum
10 Minutes to go in the match
In this era of the ‘dom agterspeler’, WP might have uncovered an intelligent backline player in Brache…
106 @ Just For Kicks:
Sounds like there have been some good games in the Aviva Premiership but I don’t get to watch that but was flicking between the two Pro12 games last night Scarlets looked good – big physical side, and also saw parts of Edinburgh v Cardiff Blues – was nice to see Edinburgh just make it in the end with a drop kick by Greg Laidlaw. The Welsh teams are playing quite a good brand of running and passing rugby at the moment. Don’t know why though but the kicking to posts and at times out of hand in both those games was not good from all sides.
Looks like WP have got this one in the bag then, have a good night all.
So moet ‘n WP scrum kak.
Penalty Staat, halfway line
@ Just For Kicks:
Liebenberg’s first throw-in today went straight to the Ozzies!
127 @ JanMurrayBok:
Cheers Bully,
Gooooooi Mieliesssssss
@ JanMurrayBok:
G’nite Murraybok, go well.
Nico Scheepers misses a penalty left
Sjoe, Scheepers misses for once…
125 @ fender:Yup, he got some pretty average press earlier in the season, but I like the lad. We certainly see more enterprising play than when JdV is there, and his defence is no worse, so youre right, perhaps some nous, at last!
@ fender: Obelix, HM will quickly coach that out of him.
130 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:I rest my case!!!!!
How was that slight of hand by Scarra!
4 Minutes to go… the difference is 7
Four mins to go..
Good work by WP. Scarra down
@ Just For Kicks:
Bokke need to sort their pack out, from A to Z….start by sacking that useless Johan van Graan, international forward coach my arse!!!
WP scrum….. Scarra Ntubeni down injured
Hopefully just winded
2 Minutes to go…. WP will win
142 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:I like it. Time to start calling a spade a spade. No soft talk anymore – say it how it is. They’ve had their chance. This ‘ job offs must end now!buddy buddy’ job offers must end now.
@ grootblouBokJan:
Glad you had a nice birthday, Smiles. Sorry all your teams lost tho’. And now WP is winning too. I still feel down about the Boks. They don’t look like a happy bunch of players either. Really feel for JdV and even Morne. These guys are being made the scapegoats now for an incompetent, arrogant coach.
Like the idea of some decent scrummies coming through for WP. Schreuder has had a good run since coming on
WP 5m out…
2m
Last scrum…
