EP with dirty tackling technique, not good
Sixers klapping Titans at the moment.
Go Titans!!
@ Cheetah4eva:
Thats 2 players out of the SR for you it seems
those seem bad injuries
En hier het ek gehoop dat die cheetahs ‘n groot pakslae gaan uitdeel vanaand. .
Staat penalty… Robert Ebersohn bleeding profusely
Another injury, fark, lets just box then!

I have not even looked there since I left. Truly can’t be bothered with any thing that goes on there now that I don’t blog there any longer. Don’t worry what they have to say bro, if we don’t blog there don’t worry what they have to say. We can build this blog into a really good one next year. Far more pleasant knowing when you log in here you will meet up with friends and true rugby bloggers. Much prefer it. More will leave there as normally happens. The decent folk there all leave eventually.
Only rugby site I look first thing in the morning is SuperSport or Sports24 as they have all the rugby news first. Then go to SharksRugby official site, then this site. Also always look at Rugby365 as sometimes they have some news that SuperSport don’t. During Super Rugby I read Roar a lot as well. A Aussie site, but a really good one.
Good wickets for Titans , are they back in it or is the damage too much
It seems to be a punch from Oelschig
Looked lije punch coming in from the joining player! Farking dirty thugs!
4 down now
THAT was a punch by Oelchig
Dirty EP team this
Red card is correct
Red Card for Oelchig

9.6
van der Merwe to Maddinson, OUT
NJ Maddinson run out 20 (15b 2×4 1×6) SR: 133.33
9.5
van der Merwe to Haddin, OUT, Titans are back. What a match. Swinging this way and that like a drunkard. Haddin, a stylish hitter down the ground, tries a slog sweep here, with three men back on the on side, and top-edges this to deep midwicket. Boy, are the Titans pumped? And boy, has the crowd refound its voice?
BJ Haddin c Links b van der Merwe 3 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60.00
9.4
van der Merwe to Haddin, no run, slower through the air, turns away after pitching middle and leg, off the thick edge it goes to short third
9.3
van der Merwe to Maddinson, 1 run, runs this to short third man
9.2
van der Merwe to Maddinson, no run, close lbw shout as he sweeps all over it. That pitches on a length, on middle and leg, and holds its line a little. Only the bounce could have saved him there. But I feel Maddinson is lucky here. It’s hit him under the roll, but he is not all the way down on his knee
9.1
van der Merwe to Haddin, 1 run, driven to sweeper-cover
Dink die doos die Kamera lieg>?\
Vokken vuilgat
Titans have taken 3 quick wickets….back in the game.
Cheetahs need to concentrate and finish off these dirty dicks
Ag nee, rooi kaart. Contest over.
Penalty Kings… defensive one
Knock by the Kings prop… scum Staat on the Staat 10m line
Lineout, 10m out from the Kings line, Kings throw-in
Rhule knocks, close to the Kings line
Rhule stupidly knocks on
Cheetahs missing the momentum, that Strauss normaly delivers.
75 @ Sharks_forever:
Yip great song that. Think we would have to speand a few days putting down our favourites and would still miss a lot. Jeez what would life be without music?
117 @ Puma:
speand = spend
Rhule knOCKS again
Lemoenetyd
