Canes gaan vir ‘n drie, jaag nog ‘n bonuspunt wen. 😆

I think we are deliberately trying NOT TO BE CLEVER…. hehehehe

Highlanders scrum penalty… wow!

At the start of the season I made two predictions.

One was that the Stormers would win the SA conference. I also explained HOW they would do it. It all panned out exactly the way I predicted except for the draw against the Lions at Newlands.

My 2nd prediction was that the Highlanders would be the dark horses in SR this year.

Because of that, I’m sticking my head out and am going with the Highlanders in the final.

Not because I care who the hell win but here it is… GO LANDERS!

Good morning all.

Great touchfinder by Sopoaga!

Sublime

Skrum te veel risikos, moet eerder vir lynstaan gaan, as jy wil gaan score.

Canes mis vir Ardie.

The support running is something to behold

Good calls, both. Before you take your clairvoyance to the business world, could you quickly give me the winning lotto numbers for tonight – I could really use some help!

Ruck ball is so quick!!

Canes pilfer a ball on their own line!

I wish…

Sopoaga tries a drop goal, from right in front… missed
45

Just For Kicks on 4 July 2015 at 9:56 am

Fast and furious. Does cause for a little bit of loose play every now and then, but it takes nothing away from the game. Thrilling stuff.

grootblousmile on 4 July 2015 at 9:56 am

Flok, this is non-stop action!

Nostradamus Nama

That ball never crossed the 22,

Jaco, open your eyes.

Canes penalty well in their own half… a desperate little rest for the players
50

Tassies on 4 July 2015 at 9:58 am

wow! What a game. Can hardly take my eyes off the screen. This is rugby as it should be played and notice how prominent the ref isn’t.
51

Tassies on 4 July 2015 at 9:59 am

here comes 3-all
52

grootblousmile on 4 July 2015 at 9:59 am

Canes kickable penalty, playing the jumper in the air at the lineout… should be a kick for goal, and is…

Hello Tasse

Another miss by Barrett…
55

Just For Kicks on 4 July 2015 at 10:00 am

Eish Barrett needs to find some form soon. Its WC year!
56

Ben-die-Bul on 4 July 2015 at 10:00 am

3 kanse vir punte gemis deur Canes.
57

grootblousmile on 4 July 2015 at 10:02 am

Landers penalty right on halfway, against Barrett for holding on, on the ground.

Sopoaga for goal

How to win friends and influence people….If you ever wanted to put rugby on the world stage, here’s your perfect advert.

Landers wen die afbreekpunte, en skop beter.

Tassies on 4 July 2015 at 10:03 am

and sorry guys. Very rude. A good morning to you all. Enjoy the game. I am.
