Try Nonu
Canes 40 / 15
Fark, there goes my margin on Bru
Tialata, the prop scores again… TMO… but should be given….
Fark, the TMO robs Tialata…. no try
Try Keats for Canes
Canes 47 / 15
This game make more sense, look how near the Force came to scoring, but the Cannes is not so generous as the 2 teams last night
96@ SuperBul – I can accept a 1-way-rout…. but last night was a 2-way-farce.
Proper hard defence is awesome to watch… when one is a rugby-knowledgeable person. No way that free-for-all rugby tickles my fancy!
Try Farce… O’Young
Final score Canes 47 / 22…. 25 point margin

2 Game Threads have been scheduled for this afternoon / tonight’s matches between the Bulls / Brumbies and the Stormers / Waratahs.
The game thread for the Bulls will be up at 13:50 and the game will be handled by me and I will attend the after-match Press conference.
The game thread for the Stormers will be up at 18:20 and the game will be updated and handled by SuperBul from R-T Central 2 in Hoedspruit and Isigidi, who will be in attendance at Newlands on R-T’s behalf and also attend the Press conference afterwards.
VRYSTAAAAAT!
Well got the win for this one with my picks, margin was way, way out.
109 – GBS, Enjoy the game later at Loftus. Should be full house. Atmosphere going to be huge.
Go Bulls. Bulls I think will be our best bet from the saffa sides to get to the finals. So hoping they whip the Brumbies and not allow Brumbies to get a bonus point either.
112@ Puma -Leaving for Loftus at about 1:45pm…. should be a cracker…
