@ BrumbiesBoy:
P.S. Morning all,
And good on you GBS!
30 @ BrumbiesBoy:
Helllooooooooooooooooo perdjie, jou ou sponsparra!
How the hell have you been?
Landers kickable penalty, but they kick into the corner for a 5m lineout.
Landers 5m penalty again… collapsed maul
Landers opt for posts this time around
Sopoaga misses this one to the left
@ grootblousmile:
Sponsparra?
Something frog?
I’ve been OK thanks, waiting patiently for the season to start but it’s going to be a loooong one!
37 @ BrumbiesBoy:
Yeah, roughly translated it means “spunge frog”!
Hahaha
It is indeed going to be a long season… 9 Super Rugby games per weekend, mostly…. in stead of the 7 we were used to.
Easy Peasy Blues penalty… right in front… over!
Highlanders 24 / 23 Blues
Ref asks for a TMO call… looks like a neck-roll on a very long-haired Rene Ranger!
Looks like a Yellow to me… just a penalty given!
Another Blues penalty in front… outside the Landers 22.
Blues 26 / 24 Highlanders
Lion4ever… I see you are online… I have those answers for you on the Mass Mailer….
13 Minutes to go…
Blues have already looked better under the coaching of Tana Umaga!
Blues over the line… Should go to a TMO call!
Question is important… give a reason not to award a try…
Try is awarded, to No 4, Patrick Tuipulotu!
Blues 33 / 24 Highlanders
Landers penalty… shot at goal to get within 7 points
Lima Sopoaga misses the vital kick!
Time is running out for the Landers!
4 Minutes to go in the game!
last blues try should have been a penalty to the landers, player was definitely tackled ahead of the ruck
and Im a Blues fan
52 @ nga puhi:
I agree!
Try Ben Smith!
Landers creep back!
Blues 33 / 31 Highlanders
2 Minutes to play
