85 @ Sharks_forever:
Hello Tjarkie_Fornever!
Soon as Slade was subbed by Lima Sapoaga, the backline fired….
87 @ Pietman:
Piet you know I was thinking that this very minute. Have no idea but hell they miss him huge. Think they never signed him for this year, why I never know. Not sure if he is even playing for any other NZ side either. He was brilliant for Landers last year. Sometimes it is just one player that sparks the team. Just look at Genia? Without him the Reds looked terrible, he comes back and they playing some really good rugby now. Well not last week as had Bulls had their first side I have no doubt that Bulls would have won that game. Reds are hitting form now. Just when my Sharks have to tour there….. 🙁 Also hope that Lander don’t all of a sudden start to play well when Sharks have to play them on their turf next month.
16 Minutes to go in the match… difference is 8
@ Puma:
Back 15 May, maybe sooner, depending on my dad’s health. Old boy had a stroke three days ago, still in hospital, so we’ll see bru…
Come on Landers there is still time…… 😡
Not straight into the lineout by the Reds, attacking Landers scrum on the Reds 22
96 @ Pietman:
Very sorry to hear that Piet. I hope he is okay boet.
You know my mother-in-law had a stroke in 2011 and she was 90 then and still going strong. We thought she would not make it and still around now. So hoping your Pa pulls through this boet.
96 @ Pietman:
Eish, jammer om te hoor oor jou pa man.
Handbriekie se pa is ook weer in die hospitaal, hele week al. Sy longe is nou behoorlik gedaan.
Tryyyyyyy Nonu!
Reds 31 / 30 Highlanders
11 Minutes to play… come on Landers!
Reds penalty, kickable… Surfer Dude will go for goal
@ Puma:
Thx bru, hope so.
Spoke to him on the phone yesterday, he recognized my voice instantly and mumbled a few words….but didn’t recognize my sister right next to his bed! Probably because she was dressed in white….
Come on, miss it, Mackkie vannie plekkie!
Slotted.
Reds 34 / 30 Highlanders
Landers penalty on Halfway
It will be a shot at goal… strange decision… would have gone for touch
@ grootblousmile:
Dankie bru.
Oukerel wil nie hoor nie man….het laasweek my ma weskus toe gevat vir haar verjaardag, nogal bestuur ook, gelukkig nie stroke agter die wiel gehad nie.
Reds 34 / 33 Highlanders
COME ON LANDERS. Only one point in it again.
Lander lineout, just inside the Reds 22
Close….can the Landers pull this off miraculously?
Yes!!! Cooper directly into touch, NOW!!!!!
Fark, Peyper misses a Reds knock in the lineout and then awards a Reds penalty to boot… flokker!
105 @ Pietman:
Hope it all goes well boet. You should go home earlier if you can.
Peyper messes up ther dammit!
3 Minutes to go
@ Puma:
ther = there
Landers turnover scrum called… but they are far away, because of Peyper.
