I still haven’t picked between the Bulls and Sharks. Most people are going for the Sharks, but I have a little feeling that the Bulls might just bore a win out of this game.
Goeie morning almal.
Go Chiefs, Leeus, Staat en Bulle !
Hierdie manne lyk maar moeg, lyk nie lus vir die wedstryd nie. Chiefs slaan te veel aan, vat al hul momentum weg.
En daar score die Saders se tiende beste slot.
Romano scores for the Saders
Saders 13 / 6
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOANING everybody!
Nooit Loosehead – I’ll never dis the mighty States. They’re my second favourite team after all and looking forward to them rubbing out the Rebels.
I need the Bulls to win in the Tank today…
Net die ref weet waarvoor daardie strafskop was.
