3 Minutes to go

Crusaders 55 / 20 Southern Kings
Final Score: Crusaders 55 / 20 Southern Kings
OK, the Kings honeymoon is over…
7 tries to 2 also says that their defences are now being found out and read better. Saders just played a multi-pronged attack against the Kings, varying between down the middle, down midfield and out wide… letting the ball doing the work with simple and effective passing.
Also just far too much almost casual possession for the Saders.
Kings will have to play with more possession going forward in this competition, they actually sometimes looked good with ball in hand.
Could really have been a high-scoring game had all the subs not come on and disrupted the Crusaders momentum.
Well done Saders. Also well done Kings you got two tries against the Saders and never stopped trying.
Thought the score would have been bigger at the end and it never was, well done to the Kings.
Good luck for next week to our PE Boys. Go Kings.
128 @ Puma:
I fail to see how one congratulates a side who loses by 35 ??????
112 @ grootblousmile:
I know and hope Stormers beat the Brumbies today as well.
If none of our teams are gonna beat the top of the log teams one of our teams will head overseas for a semi if we make it that far. We all need to be helping each other out here by beating the top teams to make sure one of us hold a semi here. Well hoping one of us can make the semi.
129 @ grootblousmile:
Because they crossed their line twice. Also thought they were gonna get at least 50 or even more past them. They never.
How many times did Bulls cross the Saders line last week?
129 @ grootblousmile:
Bulls only got one try against the Saders last week, where as the Kings got two. That deserves, a well done to them… 😛
