Jeeeez, Nonu’s been soooooooooo kak for the Landers… hiperkak!
Matt Todd almost through, clever kick by the loosie almost puts Guildford over the line…. just bundled out.
Saders dangerous with ball in hand
Saders force a 5m scrum
Morning all.
GBS – sien jy’t nog nie jou Bru pick vir Lions-Wallabies gedoen nie. Waarvoor wag jy?
Read over the line… looks held up.
TMO
… and we have handbags….
64 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Ek wag vir 1 hand om los te kom, 1 oog om te kan sien een kant terwyl die ander ene aangaan met ander dinge…. hehehe
Hellooooooooooo GBAI
Very close call whether this is a try…
Try awarded to Read!
Crusaders 19 / 8 Chiefs
Lemoenetyd
Try Read.
How I wish the Boks had a great number 8 like Read. Such a pity Arno picked up a injury. Will he be ready for the RC?
69 @ Puma:
No, Arno won’t be ready
@ grootblousmile:
Lol. Ok dan.
Sounds like this is a good game to be watching.
71 @ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Good game… but even more interesting due to the nature of the Logs
wish the Saders to play the Chiefs off the filed now, for our Bulls sake
70 @ grootblousmile:
Then Alberts has to play 8 as Spies is out as well.
You know I think Marcell Coetzee would be a great 8 and better than where he plays right now.
Who else for 8 then as Vermeulen is injured as well. I think Meyer will go with Alberts at 8 with Marcell or the Lappies at 7 with Flo at 6. Damn pity Kanko is not selected for the Sharks. Just not sure what he heck is going on that he is left out. He should have been starting there tomorrow night. Kolisi is injured for how long?
73 @ Gena_ZA:
A number of longer term injuries, both sides, could also be good…. hehehe
Vermeulen will be back for the RC @ Puma:
74 @ Puma:
Duane Vermeulen could be ready… but if he is not I would play Alberts at 8.
Marcell Coetzee is woeful this year, would not even pick him as a Super Rugby starter for The Sharks.
73 @ Gena_ZA:
Think they will. Chiefs just not as good as last year even if they are top of the log. If Sharks never fell asleep in the first half against them we would have beaten them on their home turf this season.
Tell you what even if Bulls have to travel to beat Chiefs in NZ I think Bulls could beat them there. If Saders win here doubt very much Chiefs will stay top of the log though. Unless Sharks beat Bulls and so do the Stormers. Could happen, just think Bulls are playing terrific rugby right now.
For me it is between Bulls or Brumbies that will take the cup. Unless of course Saders come from behind to take it. That is possible as well.
Chiefs to get no points from game, Cheetah’s to beat Blues and Sharks to arrive at Loftus with no hope of making final stages, Bulls to get bonus point win.
2nd Half ON!
79 @ Best:
Hello fella,
Good to see you here!
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Dagg!
Booom!
77 @ grootblousmile:
Marcell has not had a good year for sure. However, he is a class player and you just don’t go and lose it totally. He could come back to play some very good rugby. For me Marcell is a number 8. Anyhow wonder why Kanko is not selected AGAIN! He was brilliant for Sharks last year at the end. Now that he has had just about no SR time this year he will never get a look in at the Boks. What about the Kings number 8? Anyhow think Alberts will start at 8 for Boks for now it looks like it.
Great try
Sorry for making that snide comment earlier Dagg
🙂
Chief’s can’t catch a ball, going to be long day at the office for them.
Crusaders 26 / 8 Chiefs
Saders making a point here.
84 @ nortierd:
87 @ Puma:
NOOOOO, they did not make a point… they made 7 points… hahaha
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Saders again!
