This game could be so tight even a draw might not be out of the question.
Think the home team will sneak it though

Highlanders 3 / 0 Crusaders

Immediate hit back!
TMO
Try stands…
Israel Dagg slots the conversion from the touchline.
Crusaders 7 / 3 Highlanders
Lima Sapoaga also cops a Yellow Card for a shoulder charge… harsh one
Landers penalty… and it will be Aaron Smith for goal
Badddd kick… missed the sitter
Saders penalty smack bang in front, 12m out… they opt to take the scrum!!
Try Jordan Taufua, Saders
Crusaders 14 / 3 Highlanders
Lima Sapoaga draws back 3 points with a good penalty kick.

OK, all interruptions here in my office a thing of the past now… hopefully!!
Landers inside the 10m radius of a kick… Saders penalty
@ grootblousmile:
More!
One manne kan darem nie soos hierdie ouens speel nie, kyk net na die intensiteit en balvernuf van hul voorspelers. Naaste spanne wat daaraan kom is die Stormers en die Bulle, IMO….maar noggie naasteby genoeg nie.
Tryyyyyyyyyy Landers… Ben Smith.. after a massive Sapoaga break!
15 @ Pietman:
Helllooooooooooo
Ja, die NZ spanne se aanvallende spel is darem uit die boonste rakke!
Crusaders 14 / 13 Highlanders

Morning all. Trust everyone is well. Good match so far.
Wat n vertoonstuk vir Rugby!
Ek skyt in my broek as ek dink waar selfs onse Bokke staan in vergelyking met hierdie spanne.

Hello Mud Island dweller,
I trust you and yours are all fine and well too?
@ Just For Kicks:
Howzit! Went down your old valley yesterday, hot as hell at the Elgin side of the mountain, 34C would you believe?
20 @ dwarslat:
Hello,
Hulle speel van kleins af anders… hulle oefenmetodes is anders.
Hulle is myle voor die res.. sommer ‘n hele generasie voor die res.

Skyt sommer in Heyneke se broek ook asb…die man het probleme, as jy kyk na ouens soos JannieDoep se slapgatgeit teen die Saders in Durban laasweek.
2nd Half ON!
@ grootblousmile:Well, thanks you, Beanie on the road again – up in the islands. Beautiful place to be in spring!
@ Pietman:Hope you managed to find some cool wine to quench the thirst!!!
Hi all, looks like a close game here. I know the focus is on the game here (pity missed the half time break) but does anyone know where I can find the squad NWU have sent for the Melrose 7s? Not been very succesful in my hunt earlier, the info didn’t jump out at me from NWU’s website or the Melrose 7s one.
Intercept by Naholo… tryyyyyyy Landers!
@ Just For Kicks:
Sure did! Had two long, cold draughts at Oppidek Pub
Yes, this is just a different game and league of rugby compared to the stuff we play. I just wonder for how long we will be playing catch up rugby for. We have been spouting on about this for a few years now, yet we don’t seem to have changed much at all. Just take the offload in the tackle for example.
Nice intercept
