Fark, Dagg does not kick a penalty out…. unforgivable
Penalties, penalties, penalties
Scrums are a lottery
Landers in the Tahs 22m area… their forwards have the ball…. come on grind out a try, fellas

Sounds like a scrappy match.

95@ Snoek – Well, it is played in a gale…
Fark, Landers squander a golden opportunity
Come On Landers !! 😀

R_P – The weather seems bad in the South Island…. damn who goes and lives there??
Wind is heavily against the Tahs.

20/10 Landers. Think Landers going to win this one.

Yes, it is a cold, wet & windy – essentially an inhospitable place … Imagine percy in a hard core Bulls Bar – like that ! 😆
Time left?
107@ R_P – It is warm and cosy in a Bulls Bar… very hospitable, except if you’re a Sader

Very sloppy by the Tahs!

I did not give the Landers a chance before this game…
Tahs don’t want a semi badly enough, and for once I’m happy my call is wrong.
Kickable penalty Landers….
Landers 23 / 10
115@ Superstormer – beide
Now the landers must keep the Tahs away from bonus points…..
