Nice man, now that is how you watch rugby at a game.
All the Bulls Team can get a naartjie…….. bwaaahahahaha….. Hope you have a bag full with you……
Wow what a see-saw battle!
serious question/discussion:
Hosea Gear. Would he be a first choice winger for the Boks? I would venture yes, at 14 at the moment anyway.
What about Julian Savea? yes
What about Zack Guilford? yes (binges aside)
What about Rene Ranger? yes
What about Tom Marshall? yes (at 14)
How about Ben Smith? yes
Lots of talent out wide for the Blacks.
What do you guys think??
Try Broadhurst, Canes
Highlanders 49 / 41 Hurricanes
One more quick Canes try and the game will be in the balance again… 6 minutes to go.
Canes penalty, tap….
Landers cop another Yellow
They go for posts….
Highlanders 49 / 44 Hurricanes
Deficit is 5, minutes remaining is 5
Landers defensive lineout, just outside their 22.
A converted try will do it for the Canes now
Come on the Canes!
Heck of a game this.
This must be the basketball rugby everyone was talking about
Jeez, maybe the Canes still make me smile today
🙂
Landers slowing everything down now, to a crawl….
104 @ nortierd:
Yip, no sense of defence either side….
This is not rugby, this is helter skelter hell!
Last chance Canes
Go for it
Just more than a minute to go… Canes scrum
Landers penalty… it’s all over
Final Score: Highlanders 49 / 44 Hurricanes
Damn
What a weird game
Pity the Canes couldn’t snatch it at the end, but if I had to get one game wrong this weekend, rather this one than the next
😀
Pity Canes could not secure the ball there, cost them. If they had think they might have scored again. Landers win. Jeepers have got this bru thing wrong this weekend.
6 % reg op Superbru. Behalwe vir die Kings hoop ek hierdie was die laaste verassing van die naweek.

Nortie bud,
You must play in our bru pool for the RC. So must our kiwi friend here.
113 @ Owen Meany:
Hellooooooooooo Meanie… nice of you to grace us here with your presence!
Strange game, thought the Landers at one stage was too far ahead for the Canes to even think of coming back. Canes sure came back and almost sneaked a win in the end. Pity as I had them on bru to win here…. 🙁
Dankie GBS. Ek kom se maar hullo terwyl ek nog onder die top tien is.
Whilst high-scoring rugby like this might be sexy to some, I think it was a woeful display of no structure and sloppy defence!
