Tahs scrum, but they are under immense pressure now from the Rebels

grootblousmile on 20 February 2015 at 11:24 am

Try Lopeti Timani, Rebels.

Burgess stole the Tahs scrum ball and they follow up!

Been on the Phone with the Bulls now… still have to pick up my and BonzaiGBS’s Permanent Accreditation as well as our VIP Parking tickets for 2015 at Loftus.

Will have to leave here at 15:30 to pick it up, before the going gets rough around Loftus today.

Good counterrucking by the Tahs and they earn the penalty.

grootblousmile on 20 February 2015 at 11:50 am

Inman over, held up
