Blues get the penalty and going for posts and converts.
More almal. Sounds like a great game – should’ve stayed home and watched instead of being at work.

@ Pietman:
Pietman lyk my jou pick het nie deur gegaan nie, sien jy het nie gepick nie
OK, my Pool people are here… hope they do not interfere with my rugby!
Blues defensive scrum, 5m from their own line
Blues penalty, quick tap and go…
@ superBul:

Wetie hoe Pietman daar gekom het nie, op my vrou se rekenaar ingelog, myne het ge-crash…
Crusaders penalty, easy one at goal if they want it… they go to touch
17 Minutes to go, Saders trail by 15.
Another Saders penalty… in on the side of the maul
@ grootblousmile:
I need 2 Saders tries…
Kicked into the corner… Saders take their lineout…
134 @ Pietman:
Vir SA spanne dink ek dis maar beter as Saders goed verloor hier
Pheeew! Close, or the game was over!
Blues intercept… but 11 was offside.
Saders penalty
Yellow for Steven Luatua, Blues
Saders again opt to scrum
Blues scrum penalty on their own 5….
… and the time is ticking… 13 minutes to go
Saders pass out to touch… hehehe
They look like the Bulls and Stormers… nothing working for them now.
Saders are falling apart here. Mistakes coming fast now.
off to a meeting, l8ters
Aijaijai, Saders continue like this they might end up rock bottom with the Bulls/Stormers….how the mighty has fallen!
144 @ Gena_ZA:
Tjorts… jammer om van jou kak te hoor!
Hehehe
Saders knock.
10 Minutes to go.
Well done to the Blues
Even last week, they were not too bad, the Landers just Blitzkrieged them with 3 quick tries, and although they came back, it was too much to catch up
They are looking like they can knock a couple of favorites back a peg or two
Saders won’t manage to comeback from this, with 10 min to go.
