my apologies … the linesman was cobus wessels and
the decision went against the wallabies (nz vs aus) … think why i remembered something about this was that we (sa) in that same time complained about the nh refs officiating our games (Alain Rolland, George Clancy and Allan Lewis), but nothing was done about them!!
ok back to the rugby

Piri Weepu on
Kom Canes, laat daai Cane nou inskop en gaan druk ‘n drie.
Where all the nice running rugby and tries gone
Ten minste nie bonuspunt wen vir Landers op hierdie stadium nie. As Bulle 5 punt wen kan kry, dan is die Bulle 3 punte agter Landers: 39/36
Landers se oemf is ook uit, die seisoen gaan te lank raak vir hulle.
Loved this penalty, Cowan points to the Ref the front row and the penalty is given against his team, hahaha
Penalty to Cannes 5 meter from Landers line, scrum taken
Wat is die ooreenkoms tussen Weepu, Chabal en Strauss ?
super @ 46
wish i couldve seen that!! 😆
Another penalty under the posts and they opt for another scrum
bdb @ 48
moenie vir my sê weepu het ook nou ñ woeste baard nie!! is hy nie bietjie kort vir so iets nie? 😀
Dammit Huricannes wasted two chances like this , Highlanders defense too good.
@ Ashley:
was comical, as he walked back he bashed the ball against his head a few times,lekker embarrassed.
Highlanders discipline in defense won them this game.
Thanks Canes ! 🙁
Geluk aan die Highlanders wat vasgebyt het.
51: ja, Weepu lyk soos ‘Oompie’ van ‘Eendag was daar’ se dae.
super @ 53
😀 well, then i’m sure it will be shown again somewhere on the weekend!
Now for a great game , i hope, over to the Reds vs Blues thread. See you there.
bdb @ 55
lol, oompie was mos die een wat allerhande goed uit sy baard uit kon trek, nê?
…
hmmmm
miskien kan oompie weepu dan sommer ñ wc uit sy baard uit vir die all blacks trek? 😀
#58
ekt bedoel “ñ wc trophy”, maar julle weet mos nê? 😉
Must have been a really sh1t game.
Since when did Union start having scorelines like League?
Kiwi’s practicing shutting up shop for the WC? Win at all costs and F the spectators.
Bang gatte!
