Ja jong, ek is op my pos, soos gewoonlik!
Rebels 26 / 21 Crusaders
If they loose this one (Saders) then the coaching staff will get some serious flak.
Dan Carter is finally on, after his injury stint
Woodward misses a loooong penalty for the Rebels
Crusaders seem to be heavily out of sorts… losing to the Force and now under the kosh by the Rebels…
Crusaders penalty, after some advantage… called back for the penalty after they ran some obstruction
Rebels 26 / 24 Crusaders
2 points game now. Saders ringing the changes.
Crusaders are certainly missing McCaw and Carter this year. Carter on now we’ll see if it makes a difference.
48 @ McLook:
Seems like it’s not too bad a winter afternoon in Christchurch
Wow primary school kick.
Too many Whitelock brothers… if mom cooks a bad plate of food, the whole Saders team suffers…. hehehe
Crusaders kickable penalty, Tom Taylor goes for posts
Crusaders 27 / 26 Rebels
GBS@50. Bit windy and wet. Soft drizzle rain overnight. Lots of miosture in the air. Stariting to get a bit fresh as well. Nice rugby weather though.
Great scrum by the Crusaders.
55 @ McLook:
We’re still having great sunny days here in Gauteng…. but there are extra blankets on the beds at night… so winter is upon us
Intense at the collisions at the moment.
Crusaders penalty on the Rebels 10m line, Paul Alo-Emile offside
Crusaders now seem to have woken up…. almost through for a try on a few occasions.
They get a penalty and will take the shot at goal… pop-over ball
