    Good show by chiefs to keep the Saders from scoring before half time.

    84: super, ek dink altwee spanne gaan maar sukkel, so behandel altwee gelyk: die een wat die uitspeelwedstryde wen kry die voorreg om die houtlepel te verdedig ! 😉 Niks stories van by die agterdeur inglip deur SARU tjommies nie.

    Saders vat dit bietjie te rustig, een drie deur die Chiefs dan is dit jakkals in die hoenderhok.

    84 @ superBul:
    Hello BlommieBeneukteBul,

    Man, dit gaan nie juis oor wie doen beter nie… dit gaan oor die manier wat die Lions uit die Super Rugby kompetisie gewerk is.

    Lions het 1 meer Log punt gehad verlede seisoen, het minder drieë afgestaan in verhouding met wat hulle self gedruk het, het ‘n kleiner negatiewe punteverskil gehad….
    Terwyl die Kings weer aan die anderkant baie, baie beter tuisskares gelok het….

    So, dis maar 6 van die een en ‘n halfdosyn van die ander.

    Wat die seisoen wel reggekry het wat my betref is om sekere nuwe spelers se talente na vore te bring en te bevestig hulle is Super Rugby gehalte… en hier verwys ek na klompie spelers van die Kings. Dis spelers soos Vleis Engelbrecht, Wimpie van der Walt, Shaun Venter, Demetri Catrakilis, George Whitehead, Sergeal Petersen en tot ‘n mate SP Marais.

    @ superBul:
    More Superbees, jammer ek antwoord laat, erge storm hier innie ‘GooseBay’, heelnag al, internet aan en af.
    Nee man, ek is al die pad vir ontwikkeling in die OP, groot talent daar. Maar die manne moet onder begin, nie met huursoldate nie. Cheeky het gese dis ons ‘first black rugby franchise’….hy het dadels gepraat, soos gewoonlik, Kings is SA se eie ‘Rebels’ span, niks anders nie, maak nie saak hoe Cheeky dit spin nie.

    Maar ons sal later gesels daaroor….nou eers vir die Bulle en die finaal my bru!!!!!

    Those Chiefs pom-pom girls all carry some extra winter blubber…..

    net een ding maak my gatvol vir hul gekerm dis die feit dat hulle nog altyd roem op daai super 10 titel , dis al donkiejare terug toe Oom Louis nog alles kon koop wat hy wou he.

    Too he’ll with lions or Kings. Too he’ll with EP or TVl rugby. My view is identift the 110 best rugby players in the country and place them in the Stormers, bulls, cheetahs, sharks and central franchises with the 5 best coaches. The national coach work in close aliance with the franchise coaches in terms of players to be selected for the various franchises and game plans

    That the only way SA rugby will grow.

    Eish die dag se gewag gaan lank wees

    Cusaders strong start to the 2nd Half….

    Crusaders penalty, easy one

  • 103

    Stem saam met superBees. Die Loins was dubbel K senter A for more than 10 years in a row.

  • 104

    Chiefs lucky to escape without conceding a try there. Nevertheless, Carter once again has the chance to stretch the gap to 9

  • 105

    Morning everyone.

    Missed the whole of the first half, had to go to the airport. Followed everything here on my phone, so thanks gbs.

  • 106

    Carter misses again as it hits the righthand upright…

  • 107

    Carter f-up again!!!

  • 108

    Can you believe it! Carter misses again!

  • 109

    105 @ Puma:
    Hello Oompie!

    You have your Bulls shirt on already?

    You know, they sell them there at the Deben Airport in the duty free shops… hehehe

  • 110

    Carter’s misses keeping the Chiefs in the game.

  • 111

    Chiefs penalty, Aaron “Bakore” Cruden for goal…

  • 112

    109 @ grootblousmile:
    No actually I have a black t-shirt on… 😛

  • 113

    Crusaders 9 / 6 Chiefs

  • 114

    98: ag wat, dit is daardie twee spanne se probleme. Ons jongspan het almal verras, is in die semi op Loftus en het ‘n goeie kans om die finaal aan te bied, hoera !

    Ek kry die gevoel die Saders is besig om te fade, as die punteverskil minder as 7 is met 10 minute oor, gaan die skare die Chiefs deurtrek.

    Wakker word Saders !

  • 115

    Chiefs on path to ruin the bulls party.

  • 116

    Wat dink julle van die feit dat al 3 Refs in die 2de semi van SA is?
    Ek hoop nou nie hulle probeer te ver oorleun na die Aussies nie

  • 117

    112 @ Puma:
    Careful, one cannot hide a boepie in a T-Shirt, specially a black one….

    Delighted

  • 118

    Gap now down to 3 and Sadists will have to win this one the hard way:

  • 119

    108: as hy in die bokspan was, het ou Puma hom nou gedrop uit die span, of wat sê ek Puma ? 😉

  • 120

    Chiefs penalty 5m out…. Saders team warning!
