90 @ Pietman:
Sy span maak hom verlore lyk, man
Carter off.
Dan Carter off subbed… Saders taking the foot off the pedal, giving the fringe players their run now
Fluid running game by the Saders…. when’s the next try?
Pieterson is all class.
Came a bit stagnant at the moment.
95 @ Loosehead:
Janee, jong Sersant Petersen is goed, hehehe
Would have loved to have seen Petersen run away for a try there. Just not to be.
Try Luke Whitelock
TMO
Whitelock try. Too easy.
Forward pass to Luke Whitelock?
Nah, that’s a good try
Try awarded
Nog eenetjie.
Crusaders 48 / 13 Southern Kings
Here’s my 35-point Bru marging, sorry to say but there’s 22 minutes left though… eish
Crusaders were much better last week.
105 @ grootblousmile:
Did anyone back the Kings?
Kings doing well keeping the Crusaders in check.
loosehead @ 107
dont think so
Saders penalty, quick tap… they want more
106 @ Loosehead:
Well they don’t have to go full out Loosie, they have the 4 try bonus point and they travel tomorrow. Think they will keep some reserves for that. Next week is a massive game for them at Newlands. Hope Stormers beat them.
111 @ Puma:
Stormers have to get past the freegin Brumbies first
Kings defensive penalty, on their own 22
16 minutes to go. Saders just ping through he motions now. Reckon they’ll score 2 more tries. Will give them points.
12 Minutes to go… my 35-point Bru margin still holding…
Game has really deteriorated now with all the subs on
Saders turnover scrum on the Kings 10m line
Kings scrum doing better.
Wave after wave, phase after phase by the Saders, making yards with every wave
Saders try… hat trick for George Whitelock.
Bit of a dubious try
