    The Miracle Landers!

    Conrad Smith was stil…

    Brilliant. Got a little scrappy towards the end, but that was to be expected. It certainly didn’t take away from the amazing spectacle here. Just one real winner today. RUGBY. Well done Landers, hugely deserved, and a great game to boot.

    Skitterend Landers, beste span in die finaal gewees.

    As hierdie game een ding gewys het, dan is dit die volgende,

    Jy moet ‘n running EN kicking game hê, en dan die regte spelers om die balans tussen die twee te handhaaf.

    Jy kan nie NET hardloop nie.

    Thats one happy team!

    Landers 20 – 56 op 5 Junie.

    21 – 14 vandag.

    What a turn around?

    Congrats Landers.

    Stormers het ten minste vir Tony Brown daar. Wink

    Congratulations to the Highlanders

    Cane, my thoughts are with you, mate.

    I am gobsmacked!

    The Landers faerie tale for 2015 is complete.

    Spare a thought for a very game Hurricanes side, who impressed all season!

    @ Pietman:
    Behalwe vir sy drie, was Nonu ook maar stillerig.

    Dink ek het ook net een keer Fekitoa se naam gehoor.

    grootblousmile on 4 July 2015 at 11:24 am

    I will look back at this game as probably the best Super Rugby Final in history, as far as quality play is concerned!

  • 225

    grootblousmile on 4 July 2015 at 11:25 am

    Flok, nou is die groot rugby klaar vir die dag… wat gaan ons die res van die dag doen??

    Well, if that isn’t a good advert for Kiwi rugby then I don’t know what is. I would like to think that we’d take some solid lessons from that example of how to play winning rugby.

    Pietman on 4 July 2015 at 11:28 am

    @ Nama:
    Ja, ek wil die replay kyk, en probeer ontleed waar die Canes agterlangs platgeval het, die sgn “million dollar backline” was lamgele iewers…

  • 229

    Ben-die-Bul on 4 July 2015 at 11:29 am

    2 dinge wat die game gekos het vir die Canes

    1. Barret se mis skoppe in die begin

    2. nie kanse gebruik nie, veral Saveia se knock op die doellyn.

    Wys jou net, in finals rugby kan enige iets gebeur.

    Geluk aan Ashley met sy wen op bru.

    En daar spring die Nama toe ook sommer ver onder die top 20.

    Wanneer kry ons die WB bru, GBS?

    Pietman on 4 July 2015 at 11:30 am

    @ Just For Kicks:
    There you go….Elliot Dixon!

  • 232

    Ben-die-Bul on 4 July 2015 at 11:31 am

    So hoe nou, die span met die minste AB in die span, wen die superbeker ?

    Dink daar is nie een Landers voorspeler in die AB groep nie ?

  • 233

    Nama on 4 July 2015 at 11:32 am

    Jaco Peyper het ook goed vertoon. Ek hou daarvan as die skeidsregter “onsigbaar” is en die spelers die wedstryd speel.

    Dixon MoM soos Pietman al in die 45ste minuut voorspel/gese het.

    Angostura on 4 July 2015 at 11:32 am

    Who would’ve thought:

    Highlanders SR Champions
    &
    Ross Geldenhuys SR Champions’ Medal?

    Occasionally miracles do happen in sport 🙂

    Nama on 4 July 2015 at 11:34 am

    Plumtree again the bridesmaid.

    Hoekom wil ons hom dan Stormers toe bring? Wink

  • 236

    Tassies on 4 July 2015 at 11:35 am

    and Jaco you distinguished yourself by your absence from the limelight and supurb control of one of the best rugby games I can remember. Well bloody done mate.

    230 @ Nama:
    Ek sal VANDAG 2 SuperBru Pools skep, ene vir die Rugby Championship en ene vir die Rugby World Cup… en hulle omskep na Super Pools ook.

    Mens betaal so R 150.00 per Pool om hulle te omskep in Super Pools, en ek doen dit met AL ons Pools.

    Twee jaar gelede het die ouens laaste/amper laaste geeindig as ek reg onthou.

    Definitief laaste in die NZ konferensie.

    @ grootblousmile:
    Sharp.

    Wat van die Pacific Ocean Kampioenskappe?

    Samoa, Fiji, Japan ens.

    grootblousmile on 4 July 2015 at 11:40 am

    238 @ Nama:
    Miskien stoot die Emirates Lions ook na heel bo op die SA Konferensie volgende jaar… hulle is die SA span wat die meeste innovasie en progressie toon… en ook die interressantste rugby speel.

    Wys jou net, die margins is sooo piepklein tussen al die spanne.
