Gooooooooooo Rugby… skryf mekaar AF!
Lets hope that the Reds win, although I can’t see it happening.
@ Loosehead:
why not, they(AUS) are smarting after the Lions loss so it will be a last throw of the dice. Either they will implode completely or the massive National Pride will make them play like men possessed. Sadly the last part can happen to the Cheetahs too. Wonder if Naka can dispel all the demons and make the Cheetahs like a proverbial Bull seeing a red flag.
cant believe that our Saffa friends are hoping for an Aussie win here today
guess the old rivalry is dead and any win against a NZ side, by whomever, is celebrated in the republic?
The Reds can make it a clean sweep of Kiwi sides if they win today, but I believe they havent won in CHCH since 1999 (though may be completely wrong), and CHCH is the hardest place to win a game of super rugby, much more so then fortress Loftus imho.
Should be a cracking game regardless, and as my own side were led a merry dance by the paid Peyper
I will have to cheer the Sadists (not a natural thing for an Aucklander thats for sure).
kia kaha Sadists, good luck reds.
Hellloooooooooo
May the best side win!
Players out on the pitch, Reds was led out by Jake Schatz today, milestone for him
Game ON!
Let the play-off’s begin!
More almal, hoop ons sien mooi rugby.
Crusaders will all the attacking endeavour early on… advantage played and it ends in a Saders kickable penalty

Hello BiDiBiDi
Crusaders 3 / 0 Reds
Dom Shipperley copped his chin on Dagg’s shoulder… man down
Shipperley up and running again
Moeilike situasie – as Brumbies more wen, is dit beter vir Bulle dat Saders hier wen. Maar aan die ander kant, hierdie Saders span lyk die beste van die 6 spanne, so as hul uitgeskakel word het al die ander spanne ‘n beter kans, hehe.
Almost a Saders try…
TMO
Does not look like a try.. twice.
Ruled inconclusive too
Try Ryan Crotty, Saders… under the sticks
Crusaders 10 / 0 Reds
As Reds nie volgende punte kry nie, kom hier ‘n slagting.
Morning everyone
Looking all too easy for Saders here.
Ciao a tutti!
14 @ ben-die-bul:
Hoekom dink jy dit sal makliker vir die Bulls wees om teen die Crusaders te speel in die semi as teen die Reds?
Quade Cooper slots a Reds penalty
Crusaders 10 / 3 Reds
4 @ nga puhi:
Howzit Nga,
Saders will be far too good for Reds.

21 @ The_Young_Turk:
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo
Another kickable Reds penalty… far but makable
Morning all
Crusaders look awesome so far
Can’t see the Reds, or anyone else for that matter, beating them at Christchurch
Will be very cool going to Loftus next week if it’s the Saders playing there
Ben Lucas taking the long ones for the Reds… just missed left
