Nadolo? Is this man for real! Phew…Heyneke start reading the late Kitch’s manual on how to contain this beast….of hy gaan ons opflok!
20 Minutes to go… the Canes are now 12 points behind
Looks like the Saders might win this one.
Canes penalty, not kicked out… eish
Come on Canes man, SA do not want the Saders back in the race!
Canes penalty on the Saders 10m line, kicked for touch
Canes need to cut loose now…need two big scores…they can do it!
Canes lineout maul…
Knock by Julian Savea…. argh!
Now Nonu knocks…
12 Min to go, 12 points deficit.
Getting seriously uphill now for the Canes
Try Nadolo… and the fat lady is up!
TMO?
How doff was Nonu there!!
Try Stands
Proctor off for the Canes, stretchered off!
Crusaders 35 / 18 Hurricanes
Stap hy vir Nonu soos n lappop weg!
Vreesaajaende sterk Fijiaan hierdie, half mens half dier….ek val liewer in sy kuk as in sy hande, dis verseker!
Nadolo het pas die Saders terug in kontensie gesit met daai bonuspunt drie
That was the Saders bonus point too… and they will move up on the Log quite substantially!
74 @ Pietman:
Janee, sy mensvreter gene is baie, baie sterk!
Nonu having a shocker in the 2nd half…
Canes 5m penalty… even if they score it’s not nearly enough!
Another player seriously down…
O eina… knee!
Canes have another 5m penalty… tap and go
Canes over… held up short… 5m scrum
2 Minutes to go
Yet another 5m penalty…
… and another 5m scrum, Canes ball.
Should be the last scrum…
Final Score: Crusaders (16) 35 / 18 (8) Hurricanes
Gou Kamele gaan kry… sien oor paar minute
🙁
Phew. Only took the ‘Saders by 5, but I guess a win is a win.
While the performance of the Saders worked out well for my bru, it certainly is not good news afa the Stormers is concerned. If they win their next two matches wit BP’s, they may very well replace either the Brumbies (who they face in their last match) or the Highlanders (who has a couple of tough matches against the Chiefs and the Canes coming up) in 6th position. That would probably mean that they’ll face the Stormers in the play off at Newlands.
We know how poor the Stormers’ record against the Saders is. I’d rather we face the Brumbies or the Highlanders.
Here’s hoping that the Brumbies will beat the Force next week to ensure their play off spot and that the Highlanders will win at least one of the 3 games they have left to ensure theirs.
