2nd half on
does the ref have and old issue with the Os? is the Cheetah scrum that bad?
@ Looshead:
Have you considered the ref’s explanation for the penalty? Not taking the hit occurs before the hand hits the ground … in fact it causes it …
Staat need to get the ball wide. They’re struggling in the tight
Kaplan misses a Staat forward pass there.
Silly mistake by Rhule
Naand ouens..
Wonderful, that’s all we need! Kaplan’s praisesinger has arrived!
Awesome steal by Vermeulen
When both sides move the ball wide, they make the yards. Good to watch
Naka should just bring his whole bench on, and get ready for the promo matches! Kaplan has been instructed!
Staat attack making no headway against the Province defense so far.
123 @ kwaailight: the scrum before that.
Bob sounds almost orgasmic, when WP get possession off a turnover!
Good work by WP and some good tight defence sees them keep FS at bay.
Late tackle on Habana there
The Cat has certainly got stronger this year – a good buy by the Kings, I think.
Kwaaitjie moenie die mense kwaad makie asb. Die braaireels hie state anyway dat Kaplan sy worsie altyd laaste braai.
I am sure that Skinstad has a hard on.
WP haven’t gone to sleep yet after 10 mins in the second half. Maybe they have become a 50 minute team.
Oh yeah! Nogge drie … 🙂
Good try by WP.
Awesome try By Fourie – one of the best loosies in the country at the moment!
WP 29/3 FS
Stormers and WP are really going to miss Deon Fourie.
Staat het nie die voorspelers om te kompeteer nie, te veel beserings, kan nie die ref al die skuld gee nie.
Staat is nou onder op die log, behalwe as Leeus Bulle ‘n groot pak gee.
The script has been written! Pointless watching this match, and to add to my annoyance I have to endure Bob Stinkstert’s commentary! Fark this, There must be better things to do than watch the Kaplan’s roadshow!
Why have the WP not played like this all season?
Sorry Fender, but the rabid bias here is really kwaai mate … I am going to enjoy winning this match far more than I should … 🙂
Nee wat TATA Cheetahs, julle join die Lions in LAER ligas nadat die Kings julle opdonner , julle wil mos nie nice wees en saam speel nie.
