Go The Kings!
Can the Kings do it? Rebels are surely not going to underestimate them. This will be a great test to see whether the draw against Brumbies was due to Brumbies taking them lightly.
Game ON!
Rebels starting hot… Kings forced to defend..like they usually do
Try Ronnie Cooke!
Southern Kings 7 / 0 Rebels
Two great passes to produce this try.
I really like the king’s loose trio.
Tell you what the Greek will not let a Springbok team down.
Another try for the Kings!, Venter!
Great individualistic try by No9.
Southern Kings 14 / 0 Rebels
If I didn’t know better I would have put a bet on this refs is an Aussie :).
Try Rebels, No 2
Southern Kings 14 / 7 Rebels
Wow the ref penalised the Rebels. Never thought I’ll see the day.
Ref is blowing the match to tatters.
Middag, you bunch of Bulls supporting cnuts!
How is it hanging?
Try Rebels!
Sorry… was disrupted here for a while
Try Angus Roberts, Rebels
Kings 17 / 17 Rebels

Come on Kings. Such a good start to let it slip like that come on the PE boys.
It never rains but it pours… more business came in, in the business of planting people, this morning… and there’s another on it’s way just now…
It’s a crazy new bloody business!
Let me see if I can concentrate on rugby now… hopefully
2nd half ON!
I picked the Rebels on Bru… by 5
Rebels penalty.. and the kick to touch takes them well inside the Kings half
Another Rebels penalty, this is an easy shot at goal
