Afternoon everyone.
Jeez so busy today missed the first game and only watched this game with 10min to go. Had the Rebs gone for corners when they got the penalty with 10min to go who knows they may have won this if they picked up a try there, instead they went for the 3 points.
Eish my bru looks terrible, thought Rebs may surprise today, got that one wrong for sure and the Saders looks like they were totally beaten as well.
March 1st, 2013 at 12:20 SAST
mornings Puma – i reckon everyones Bru got stuffed on the first game today lol.
March 1st, 2013 at 12:21 SAST
Tahs gave me support in my bru !
But now another test, Reds vs canes.
