Almost forgot to put my bru picks in again this week. Just put them in now in quite a hurry so not sure if I picked right. Think I should have gone with Saders. Went with Chiefs.
So for my bru. Come on the Chiefs!
Big game in the context of the Kiwi conference,
@ Puma:
Hiyas Pooms bro
Hellloooooooooooooooo
Thanks for reminding me quickly Puma, to put my Bru picks in…. did them in less than 30 seconds, I think…. hehehe
Crusaders running out.
Chiefs also out in a special strip for tonight.
Game ON!
3 @ Sharks_forever:
Howzit bro,
How you doing? Hope well.
Yeah big game this. See Walsh is the ref, jeez just don’t rate him. Makes way too many mistakes.
4 @ grootblousmile:
hahahaha. I put mine in at 9:15am this morning. Never gave it much thought just rushed through them. Think I should have gone with Saders. Just looked at home teams mostly.
Crusaders penalty from the scrum, kick at goal by Tom Taylor
Crusaders 3 / 0 Chiefs
Middag!
Bliksem, donner but I am / have been busy.
Restaurant is hectic!
9 @ Puma:
Hello my ENEMY for this weekend!
Another Saders penalty, not rolling away, Carter goes to touch from an accute angle, but finds a great touch
Aaron Cruden charges a kick down…. and scores
Chiefs 7 / 3 Crusaders
Dan Carter mistake, his kick-off does not go 10 m
Crusaders penalty, side entry by Retallick…. Welsh just being bloody pedantic… eish
13 @ grootblousmile:
Try Matt Todd, Saders
Crusaders 10 / 7 Chiefs
Chiefs scrum penalty… very handy almost in front of the sticks on the 22
Crusaders 10 / 10 Chiefs
Very little to pick between these 2 sides at present
Another charge down kick and a try by Clarke of the Chiefs
Chiefs 15 / 10 Crusaders
Crusaders making mistakes and it is costing them. Two tries by charge downs.
Will suit my bru though if Chiefs win.
Means nothing if a team have been leading at halftime and have gone on to win all of them. There is always a first time to lose a game after leading until the break.
Howzit RTs!
Kruip ek nou eers onner die pisvelle uit….verslaap.
Maar nog n groot naweek voor vir ons Saffas rugby.
Penalty advantage being played for the Crusaders, who are on attack
