Think Caplan saw it grounded….just needed to confirm the player wasn’t playing the ball of his feet imo
This was the worst game ever by Kaplan.
Daniel Bloody Carter!
Kaplan MUST have seen the ball grounded… he asked for a reason NOT TO AWARD THE TRY… and he was in a bloody good position to see.
Wel, well, well…
121 – Bos, I thought that could be it. Though looking where Kaplan was don’t think he could have seen. Well my feeling. That was the only reason I also said in my post 115. Still think he should not have said it that way to the tmo. We will never know.
120: dink Kaplan het gesien dat dit ‘n drie was, wou net seker maak of die man nie gekruip het nie.
26-26 elk
Saders op 25.
Bulle nog steeds bo.
Bulle sukkel om af te skuif, al speel hul sleg ! 😉
Ok, time for the Stormers to shine.
Jammer vir die Canes, het gedink daar in die begin hul gaan groot pak kry.
Vir Sharks is dit weer beter dat die Canes nie gewen het nie, want as die Sharks dit nog wil maak, moet die 3 topspanne al die ander ‘contenders’ wen, sodat hul kan speel vir 4de plek.
For the Bulls and Stormers it is better if the other top teams lose whilst they continue to win, if possible.
It will put more daylight between them and those following….
good morning all you dung beatles 😆
129 – BdB,
Don’t think Sharks will make a semi. Just too difficult. Will have to win all our games and win some with bonus points. Nah, too tough a road to climb there. Just hope we win some games and especially against the Reds and Blues to help out the Bulls and Stormers. Those two teams could still make a semi.
this was a good result for sharks bulls and stormers
bdb
die twee spanne wat nog niks gewen het nie maak die middel van die log te “besig” hulle moet punte begin vat van die nommers 10,9,8,7, spanne. Hulle briek. Maar ek twyfel dat die Lions dit gaan doen. Miskien hul harte teen die Bulle uitspeel en ons onnodig beseer.
if the sharks beat the reds with a bonus point tomorrow they will be 6th or 7th
The Cheetahs can do the Bulls and Stormers a huge favour if they beat the Waratahs tomorrow, I just can’t see it happening though!
131: more Sharky
132: ja, dit sal die comeback van die eeu wees as hul dit regkry. Jou span moet nie eers dink aan die semi’s nie, net elke wedstryd op ‘n slag vat, en wen. Wie weet, dalk met so bietjie geluk gaan daar ‘n moontlikheid oop vir ‘n moontlike semi. Julle moet nou alles wen … behalwe die een op Loftus wat jul maar kan gooi ! 😉
131 – Sharky howzit, now we have to look how brilliant Ruan’s kick was last week on 80min. That was pure pressure. Agree with Naas, Carter is just not kicking or playing like he was.
more biddibiddie glo my die sharks dink nie aan n semi nie, dis wedstryd vir wedstryd
maar die sharks kan ding vir die bulls en stormes baie vergemaklik
136 – GBS, Sharks should have won that game against the Tahs, pity about the bad calls we got that day. Also Blues should have won last week. That intercept right at the end there cost them.
hiays brudda , yeah carter is not the player he was
ruan is on his way back to the top
watch out morne hier kom ruan 😆
137 – BdB .. 😆 The last two lines there…….hehehehe
more rudi outop ^5 lol
141 – Sharky, He is too much of a class player. You never lose class but yes, form can be lost for awhile. He will get it back. Just hope not in the Tri-Nations…hehehehe.
I like the frank way Kaplan handled the Interview… if only all Referees can be that tranparent!
143@ Tjarky – Hello Oubaas se honne!
Mens sal nooit die Saders span afskryf nie, veral met Richie en Carter nog daar nie, maar, hul is definitief nie meer die span van die verlede nie.
Behalwe Richie en Carter, is daar nie baie ander spelers wat ‘n mens opgewonde maak nie. Die twee oupas op slot is ook nie meer wat hul was nie (Jack en Thorne). Guilford is ook goed en Ellis so-so, maar verder is dit ‘n gemiddelde span. As Blues die Bulle more klop, lyk hul vir my na ‘n gevaarliker span as die Saders.
Time for the Cheetahs and Sharks to stand strong and win their games this week….
Sharky if Canes win all the rest of their games, they could still make the semi. That is if they pick up some bonus points. Will be tough I think, maybe too much pressure on them now.
I was getting a really fuzzy picture during that game on Supersport 201. Was everyone else? See my other channels are fine just that one.
Hope not the decoder going.
