@ grootblousmile:
I was thinking the Highlanders might have been a little complacent, after a break and a win over the Lions.
It would appear I was wrong.

This is as good a 1st 10 minutes as you could possibly see.

Seems almost a foregone conclusion that the Toyota Cheetahs and Southern Kings will be taking part in the UK Pro Rugby series (what was the Pro 12 before)… and already this year during the same time as when the SA Currie Cup is underway…

Basically an open secret if one reads between the lines!

I’ve always felt an afinity towards the Highlanders…. more so than the other 4 New Zealand Franchises.

Don’t rightly know why, just feel for them more than for the rest of your lot there in the Land Of The Long White Cloud!

Landers get a relieving penalty on their own 5m line…

Oh… the bain of clients arriving at inopportune times, unannounced… luckily it was a quick in and out… fixed PC delivered… invoice in hand!

grootblousmile on 14 July 2017 at 10:07 am

Almost a Reds try… final pass not going to hand, line begging!
20

grootblousmile on 14 July 2017 at 10:10 am

Reds applying the pressure big time now… but little errors prevent them from converting into points… this time a forward pass.

Landers scrum, deeeep in Landers territory.

grootblousmile on 14 July 2017 at 10:11 am

Looking forward to a good cuppa coffee at halftime… throat a bit croaky!
