Blues scrummie knocks at the scrum, turnover scrum.
Kings knock… and Ihaia West punishes them with a long line kick, out deep in the Kings 22.
Blues penalty, 5m out, right in front… pop-over easy!
They go for touch!
3 Replacements on for the Kings…
Ice cold subs.. who need to defent a crucial area… eish!
Great Kings defence, so far!
Turnover scrum for the Kings… that’s the spirit!
Chris Cloete down injured… stocky fella… with a very strong upper body… ideal build for an opensider.

OK, that was Round 11 of Super Rugby 2016…
Have a good one tonight, see you tomorrow… sometime!
Ag nooit this has been a wretched rugby weekend. First the Brumbies hammered the Bulls. Then Connacht beat Glasgow which means Glasgow slipped from 1st to 3rd on the table so now instead of hosting Ulster in a PRO12 semifinal now have to go back to Galway to play Connacht in two weeks time. Now have just read EP Kings beat Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup
Results: PRO12 – Connacht 14/7 Glasgow Warriors.
Currie Cup – EP Kings 19/14 Blue Bulls
