Crusaders 17 / 0 Highlanders
Lemoenetyd
2nd Half ON!
Will be difficult against the wind and in the wet for the Landers to come back from a 17-point deficit!
Saders again piling on the pressure… relentless stuff!
Saders over, held up… and we have some handbags!!
36 @ grootblousmile:
Good stuff!
Good Landers pressure, until an eventual knock, 7m out!
19 Minutes to go in the match
Landers penalty… kickable, but they kick for the corner.
Crusaders steal the vital Landers lineout ball.
Crusaders simply better in the wet conditions…. and the Landers seemingly without plans.
High tackle by the Landers… No 4… advantage is played and eventually the penalty is given.
Missed to the left.
9 Minutes to go in the match
Landers defensive penalty, Saders man holding on, on the ground.
Time is simply ticking away and taking any comeback away from the Highlanders.
Landers knock the little cake of soap….
Only 5 minutes to go… and the Highlanders still trailing by 3 scores…. so I guess the fat lady is up…. and she is wearing red today!
3 Minutes
Saders scrum, 5m inside the Landers half…
Can the Landers get some consolation?
Not a single point scored by either side in the whole of the 2nd half!
Time up on the clock….
Game over!
Crusaders (17) 17 / 0 (0) Highlanders (Final Score)
…. and suddenly there are only 6 contenders left for the title!
3 New Zeland sides and 3 SA sides!
Not a single side from Australia, Argentina or Japan.
Our next game here on Rugby-Talk.com will be the Quarter-Final between the Emirates Lions vs Cell C Sharks at 14:30 SA Time!
