Skew throw into the lineout…

See, that is what I mean that they are making critical errors and costing themselves!

They had that advert on TV during halftime in this match!

Another penalty, this time against the Rebels, Timani… continuing to play after being tackled
70

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 9:48 am

Saders pass out to touch.

Not quality rugby in this 1st game, that is for sure!
71

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 9:49 am

Dan Carter penalised at the breakdown… just on Rebels side of halfway, 55m or so out
72

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 9:49 am

Mike Harris goes for posts from all that distance
73

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 9:50 am

Way short and to the right…
74

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 9:51 am

Daai string squeezas maak die ou se kop al blinker …seker van al die kussingstoot…maar verder is die kop binnetoe maar dof, kannie waag om op te kyk van die papier nie dan haak hy vas…
Ek weet nie hoekom ou Mac Maharaj nie maar self die ding lees nie, hy het waarskynlik die geskrif ge-copy en paste in elk geval. Nou mors hulle miljoene op so n kuk voorlesing.

Hoop maar ons wen die twee wereldbekers, SA politiek raak nou afgesaag, regtig.

Big tackle… penalty to the saders.

Almost a tip tackle… should not even have been a penalty
83

Pietman on 13 February 2015 at 9:59 am

Saders dobbel met my picks…hulle moet begin vinger trek.
84

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 10:00 am

TMO says it is a TIP-TACLE.

Yellow it is for the Rebels!

No 6…. McMahon
85

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 10:01 am

Colin Slade for goal… Carter must be off subbed.

Slade misses left
86

Loosehead on 13 February 2015 at 10:02 am

Is Carter injured again?
87

Scrumdown on 13 February 2015 at 10:02 am

Geez this is a k@k game.
88

grootblousmile on 13 February 2015 at 10:02 am

I picked the crusaders by 7 on Bru… they are 10 points adrift of it at present….
89

86 @ Loosehead:
Yip, looks like it… again.

He’s become a serious liability in any team he plays for.

87 @ Scrumdown:
Yip, a very, very kak game.

Saders looking seriously off-beat!
