    @ grootblousmile:Sorry, GBS, had to put him back in the hold for a bit. He just has to learn the hard way.

    Hello Stormpoppieboykie!

    Easy penalty shot for the Reds…

    @ nortierd:All sorted now!!!!

    Crusaders 21 / 9 Reds

  • 98

    Good decision by Reds to take the 3. The gap is too big and has to be closed as much as possible first.

  • 99

    Kia Ora katou katoa ( hi to all)

    Sam Whitlock has become world class, really is a fine lock

    don’t think reds can come back, they are struggling to get over the advantage line

    enjoy. on the bus home so will miss the second half. 🙁

    Quick throw in. Are the Safers avoiding set peice? Esspecially line-out? Reds scored 70 percent of their tries this season off lineout ball.

    Try Saders… booom!

    Tom Marshall

    Listen guys, this is a bit off topic but I need some advice and there are enough “ou toppies” here that may actually be able to help.

    I have an MNet decoder. Yes, the old one, before DSTV. Yes, apparently they still make them. This one is maybe 2 years old. I brought it up from CT so at least I’d have a sports channel to watch on TV. The wife has the DSTV one.

    I have plugged it in, tuned the decoder (howzit decoder) and have good picture, but the sound is all static. On all the channels that I select through the decoder. So if I change the mnet channel to etv on the decoder then picture but static sound.

    I tool my decoder to Mnet but they all laughed at me. Some people didn’t even know what it was.

    They had to go find someone who knew what to do with it, but even he didn’t seem to know what to do.

    Does anyone have any ideas? No, junking it and getting DSTV isn’t an option.

    just in time to see a Briant try by Crusaders

  • 106

    Another brilliant try by Saders. They are awesome to watch. Playing some magnificent rugby here.

  • 107

    Saders speel goed, maar hul sal dit nie so maklik hê teen die Chiefs of Bulls weg van die huis nie. Reds sê verdediging is maar sleg.

  • 108

    Try. Notice how every second receiver in the backline is a big forward that suck the defenders in. They did it four times in a row; creating fast front foot ball for the outside backs eventually.

  • 109

    Another try for the Sadists! Unfortunately for their next opposition, the Sadists are cruising through this match and look like they will be quite fresh and without injuries for their next match.

    Crusaders 28 / 9 Reds

    103 @ Stormersboy:

    The only one that could help you here bro is gbs. Well think he can.

  • 114

    103 @ Stormersboy:
    I have no idea… no clue!

    Can one set the Audio channel on the Decoder… or the TV set to PAL I (we use PAL I in SA)?

    112 @ nga puhi:

    Again keeping the ball in the air. Avoiding wrestling constests.

  • 118

    @ Stormersboy:
    The only ole toppie that could help you would be Smiles… but it will come at a price. You will have to swear allegiance to the Prancing Pink Bovines and never say anything good about the Stormpoppies ever again!

    112 @ nga puhi:
    Baie Goed, dankie (very good, thanks)!
