    Ja…maar teruggeroep. Strafskop Leeus, illegal scrumming.
    Boshoff pale toe vanaf halflyn.

    Captain Francois Louw scored a try for Baths against Harlequins in a narrow win for Bath. Final score: Harlequins 26/27 Bath after it has 15/10 in Harlequins favour at half time.
    Almost a fairytale ending for Quins Ugo Monye who scored 2 tries in his final home game for Quins, a shame for him that a late penalty kick by Bath’s George Ford meant he couldn’t end off at home with a win. Ugo Monye will retire at the end of the season with today being his 241st game for Harlequins the only pro club he has played for, certainly quite rare these days.

    I read a couple of comments earlier….the usual, the ref is the biggest blame.

    Will have a look again.

    Onthou net, jy praat van jou “mede Shark supporters”

    You can’t give the Landers turnover ball like that, even on their own tryline they will have a go
