Cooper missed the penalty. He is getting better game by game but is still only a shadow of what he was before his injury.
Rene Ranger bleeding from the forehead…. now bandaged up
Blues penalty, against Holmes at the scrum
Reds relieving penalty, about 8m from their own line
I’m glad that neither these 2 sides will get bonus points for tries in this match…
The game is a bit of a “getjommel” at times, but it is certainly played at a frantic pace
9 Minutes remain in the match
With the Reds hard on attack Ioane loses the ball in the tackle… ball is kicked far ahead and the Reds have to re-build their attack
Reds penalty on Halfway, about 7m from touch…. a good kicker dould have slotted it, but Surfer Dude certainly does not have that type of range.
Another Reds penalty… this one closer… and Surfer Dude slots it.
Reds 12 / 11 Blues
I can’t believe that I wanted Cooper to succeed with that kick.
Swak.
1 Point in the match, 5 minutes to go
40 @ Loosehead:
DIK Swak!
Blues 5m out… they try to rumble it up
Keven Mealamu knocks it… Reds kick it out to touch
Blues lineout, inside the Reds 22
Ali Williams knocks it…. they really are error-prone!
two very lucky let off’s for the Reds.
Just more than a minute to go, Reds scrum…
42 @ grootblousmile:I know.
I think I picked the Reds by 5 on Bru…. think so
OK, last gasp chance for the Blues, with a lineout throw…
Hooter goes
2 from 2 so far today.
What a game.
Blues can’t find their jumpers in the lineout…. Ben Lucas hacks it over the dead-ball line, game over.
Final Score: Reds 12 / 11 Blues, as the Reds win the battle between the 2 COLOURS.
Habana se afstorm van die vervyfskop maak toe al die verskil vir die Stormers!
Wys jou net, rugby op hierdie vlak kan afhang van een sekonde van briljantheid….
