Reds scrum with less than a minute left, game over for Stormers
Any joy blue bird?.. that link working?
Oh dear
Reds win…. by 3
They have now taken care of the 3 top teams and go top of the Log…. for now!
152 – It may be me, can’t get it to go!
Hope I can get it back for tomorrow!! 🙁
hmmmmmmmmm very close game, Reds win, congatulations.
Looked like only half the Stormer team was fireing today.
Have go do some work now, Byeeeeeeeeeeee everyone.
Oooohh Sorry Stormers fans….Not what you wanted….
However my Bru will like that!! 😆
Cheerio All…enjoy your day, thanks for your company this morning.
Can you believe it??
Baie belangrike bonuspunt wat Habana daar beskerm het met sy goeie duikslag.
Reds het nou Saders, Bulle en Stormers geklop. Die feit dat hul aldrie klaar gespeel het, en daardie drie spanne mekaar nou moet speel, maak van die Reds die gunstelinge.
Wie moet hulle nog speel ?
Old Griquas…Well done, we have one smile here anyway!! 🙂
Hard, hard game…. congrats Reds
3 Teams now on 34 Log Points…. no 4
Reds, Bulls, Stormers and Crusaders on 34 points… jeeeeez!
Good game; well played Stormers, congrats Reds.
WILL GENIA: A leader arrives!!!
Excellent captaincy and a well-deserved win. I always thought it was going to be tough for the Stotmers at Brisbane. I like the mutual respect shown to one another after the final whistle, good to see.
160@ BiDiBiDi – Reds het nou makliker games wat voorlê…. hulle gaan ‘n Tuis-semi kry en dalk No 1 eindig…. donner, wie sou dit voorspel het?
Log:
Stormers
Saders
Reds
Bulle
Almal op 34, punteverskil begin nou groot rol speel.
Blue Bird @ 16 – certainly a rugged match I thought? What about you?
It’s always enjoyable to see a new, young bunch come through . . .
164; kyk, as Bulle en Saders staan en verloor, dan is alles deurmekaar ! Voel so aan my benoude boude hierdie gaan die naweek van ‘upsets’ wees !
Sorry Blue Bird, that’s 161 – too much of the fab oz red you spoke of earlier?????
165@ Nou is dit belangrik dat die Bulls die Lions goed donner!
Tot op hede, is Genia die speler van die toernooi. Baie baie goed, FDP moet nou sy allie in rat kry en vir hom wys wie is die beste.
This, of course is good for the Sharks, possibly…. makes the points total for semi’s a tad lower…. or does it?
169: ons moet van minuut 1 af oorheers, anders gaan dit ‘n lang middag word.
Van die top 4 spanne, het die Saders die moeilikste taak, dan Stormers, dan Bulle, dan Reds.
Die swak punteverskil van die Bulle, kan nog by hul spook na 15 Mei.
Well done Reds….who would have thought.
Against the mighty pack of stormers you were not CRUSHED!!
The “Stormers WILL crush the Reds” Saint…eat your heart out mate!!
The Reds can do it with their dancing shoes and today they had their rugger boots.
Waar’s Wez####, die man was mos die ene windgatgeit dat die Stormers onoorwinbaar is…. terug aarde toe vir jou, tjoppie!
Bygesê ek is nie bly oor die Stormers verloor nie.. dammit!
Punteverskil
Stormers 144
Saders 116
Reds 99
Bulle 66
Bulle se doelwitte vir more:
1. wen
2. bonuspunt
3. punteverskil verbeter
Ek het regtig gedink die reds se wiele sou afkom, maar hul droom duur voort. Stormers, soos die Bulle het in hul laaste wedstryd nie meer gefokus gelyk nie. Hopelik gaan dit beter in SA.
Reds moet nog speel:
Brumbies (weg)
Canes (weg)
Landers (tuis)
Eerste 2 is nie maklik nie, laaste een is 5 punte.
173 – Walla, Well done to the Reds. I owe you a beer. I wont forget I keep my promise.
Stormers I felt kicked way, way too much today.
Still that try saving tackle by Habs at the end giving the Stormers a bonus point might still come in to help the Stormers. All the points collected from here help.
Bad luck to my Stormer mates here.
Was great though watching in the square at MonteCasino. NO sound on the big screen just music playing but a great, great vibe and FOOD was awesome. Also had 2 glasses of red wine…… LOL. Hardly ever have wine during the day. But hey why not!!! hehe.
Well done and congrats to the Reds’ fans. Wez, time for some introspection my man. Lat ons nie te gou die bek rekkie, ne? Really tuff run-in for Stormers now, but then stranger things have happened.
Puma
I look forward to the beer..not because of the result but a chance to meet you.
Wish it were my Brumbies team winning like the Reds.
The bonus point is very precious for this stage of the tournament.
