  • 212

    Landers do it. Gosh. what a game.

  • 213

    Wow! Na 20 jaar….ongelooflik!

    Final Score: Highlanders (13) 21 / 14 (5) Hurricanes

    Stunning stuff!

  • 215

    The Miracle Landers!

  • 216

    Conrad Smith was stil…

  • 217

    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.

  • 218

    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.

  • 219

    Thats one happy team!

  • 220

    Landers 20 – 56 op 5 Junie.

    21 – 14 vandag.

    What a turn around?

    Congrats Landers.

    Stormers het ten minste vir Tony Brown daar. Wink

  • 221

    Congratulations to the Highlanders

    Cane, my thoughts are with you, mate.

  • 222

    I am gobsmacked!

    The Landers faerie tale for 2015 is complete.

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

  • 223

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

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

  • 224

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

  • 225

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

    Happy-Grin

  • 226

    224: 2009 ?

    😀

  • 227

    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.

  • 228

    @ 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

    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.

  • 230

    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?

  • 231

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

  • 232

    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

    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.

  • 234

    Who would’ve thought:

    Highlanders SR Champions
    &
    Ross Geldenhuys SR Champions’ Medal?

    Occasionally miracles do happen in sport 🙂

  • 235

    Plumtree again the bridesmaid.

    Hoekom wil ons hom dan Stormers toe bring? Wink

  • 236

    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.

  • 237

    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.

  • 238

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

    Definitief laaste in die NZ konferensie.

  • 239

    @ grootblousmile:
    Sharp.

    Wat van die Pacific Ocean Kampioenskappe?

    Samoa, Fiji, Japan ens.

  • 240

    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.
