Jis GBS,
Buddy van my maak binnekort ‘n nuwe music venue innie Hillcrest Quarry oop en ek gan help ommie Vrydagaand shows te vestig.
Disse lekker challenge, man.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Yup, for sure, they are lucky, Saders botched 2 tries.
Can’t understand the Sharks’ poor defence though, compared to the Kings this morning for instance.
Amper vgeet ek – congrats annie Kings vi ‘n amazing performance vnoggend!!!
2nd Half ON!
@ fender:
Waar is HillcrestQ? Durbanville se kant?
Crusaders is winning the match with lene speed (on defence and attack), and with superior numbers and aggression at the collisions/tackles. They are (like last week) slowing the Sharks down at the rucks with numbers and aggressive competing for the ball. Sharks are running behind the advantage line with ball and is going nowhere. Crusaders are making sure they hit them on the sharks side of the d-line. This agressive defence is preventing the Sharks to get momentum.
It is the exact same recipe the All Blacks started to use in 2009 against the Springboks. They have players charging past the people on the ground and then place themselves between the tackled attacker and his support. These blockers then also infringe by pulling, pushing and shoving incoming support attackers out of the way. I the am waiting for the SA side that’s going to claim the d-line and absolutely smash the infringers at the tackle ball out of the way.
Next 10 minutes will show witch coach had his teams attention
Kom nou Tjarks! Tekel hulle stukkend manne.
92 @ fender:
Klink great!
Not lene but line speed. The f spell correcter on the iPad is a nuisance.
Puma must be at the tank…..
Crusaders are so dominant, yet they are only 2 points up.
Better speed of the line by the Sharks.
Sharks forwards just not physical enough…
Ag jinne daar verloor Fransie Steyn weer die bal in die tackle op die grond… hoekom so regop in die man ingaan Fransie man.
Hel, hy speel kakas deesdae!
Saders again stopped the Sharks from getting momentum by turning the ball over with numbers infringing with aggression at the tackle.
@ grootblousmile:
Yip, Frans Steyn, the new Stain on the block!
Penalty against Fransie Steyn now for a high tackle… pop-over in front
Aag flok! Weet darem nie van daai high tekkel nie…..maar Frans is uiters swak vanaand.
Crusaders 14 / 9 Sharks
Who is this ref. I don’t complain about refs but this guy is missing a lot at the tackle ball.
Saders relieving scrum, 5m from their own line.
Good sustained attack by the Sharks till the infringement
FFS, Tjarks, how can you lose the ball so close to the line, dammit.
Saders have more numbers at almost very tackle.
Looks like Marcell Coetzee was a one-season wonder…
Franco van der Merwe almost over… just did not have the legs… bundled out
Jy’s reg Piet,
Hillcrest le innie mik van daai skerp kinkel oppie Contermankloofpad net buite D’ville.
Just butchers a f try. Van der Merwe had support on his inside.
Jinne flok, I thought that was goint o be a try.
