Another penalty for the Saders and Dan aims at posts again
Ludeke, maak aantekeninge van daardie Ellis trick.
Crusaders 9 / 3 Chiefs
Chiefs pressure on the half back and flat defensive line with rush- upside the game plan.
@ The_Young_Turk:
@41 Ok thanx Turk, just the sudden change from 50C plus to a freezing Cape that caught up with me, but shall overcome with Old Brown Sherry
Anscombe kicks directly into touch….
Off to work, cheers manne and GO BULLS!
66 @ Pietman:
Yip, alcohol sterilizes everything!
Hehehe
@ grootblousmile:
Waar is BlommieBul vanoggend? Seker nog steeds de moer in vir ons twee….
Chiefs making more mistakes…Sadists absorbing pressure effortlessly.
68 @ Loosehead:
Tjorts Loskoppie, and thanks for the Bulls support!
Chiefs doen al die hardloop werk, Saders speel finaal rugby.
70 @ Pietman:
Neeeeeeeeee, hy maggie de moer in wees vir ons nie, dis mos ons demokratiese reg om nie van Cheeky en Co te hou nie, nes dit BlommieBul se reg is om wel van hulle te hou.
Dink nie hy is vir ons kwaad nie…
70: geluk met die Leeus se goeie oorwinning ! 🙂
Prediction: Crusaders will score between now and half time.
73 @ ben-die-bul:
Crusaders always build an innings, before seriously striking and nailing the game well shut!
Yet another Crusaders penalty and Carter will punish them again
And Sadists make every appearance in the opposition half count. They will take another 3 points and the Chiefs will be in a desperate position.
Baddddddd miss by Dan Carter…. phweeew
Carter f-up.
And just to mess with all of us, Carter misses.
Crusaders just look more complete, more well organised, more effective
@ Pietman:
Hello oom Pietman en GBS en al die ander hier. Nou net gou weggebreek en bietjie kom kyk hoe donne r die twee spanne mekaar op
Kwaad nee wat, my punt is reg bewys, die Kings het heel goed gedoen in die lig van hul vinnige toetrede tot die Superugby toernooi. En hulle kan nou maar die mantel gee vir die Leeus om weer verneder te word.
Se my nou eeerlik dink julle die Leeus gaan beter vaar?
Chiefs breath a sigh of relief but can they make it count?
@ grootblousmile:
Both doing very well thanks boet, thanks
Tighthead by the Crusaders… this is the start of taking full control, or at least an attempt at it
Drop attempt by Carter… would have been a good soccer goal… hehehe
Missed of course.
Lemoenetyd!
So, as die Bulle vanmiddag wen, wat sou hul verkies:
Chiefs weg
Saders by die huis.
As daar een span is wat kan wen op Loftus is dit die Saders, maar Bulle se kanse om te wen is natuurlik beter by die huis, gee nie om teen watter span nie.
Beste sal wees die finaal op Loftus teen die beste super15 span ooit teen die span wat die laaste klompie jare die beste was, en, 50 000 kaartjies verkoop sal bietjie opmaak as jy wel verloor, hehe.
Carter keeping the Chiefs hope alive at the break.
