Canterbury 12 / 10 Wellington
Wellington penalty… should be a kick for goal to re-take the lead
Difficult kick into the wind attempted…. misses to the right
Canterbury on attack… Patrick Osborne is a strong bloody winger!
Over the line… TMO
Recon it’s inconclusive
5m Scrum is ruled too
Try Luke Whitelock?
TMO
Jeeez, just looks short… and then inconclusive
No clear grounding ruled
Try this time?
TMO
Blyendaal the scorer… awarded
Canterbury 19 / 10 Wellington

Tim Bornman se suentjie verjaar vandag… of dis sy verjaarsdagpartytjie, so ek vermoed die familie moet gaan en ek ook… so sal tien teen een die game daarvanaan af check en hanteer
Tom Taylor slots a Canterbury penalty.
Canterbury 22 / 13 Wellington
10 Minutes to go in the match, the difference is 9
Wellington penalty…. they would have to score bloody soon if they want a say in the game
Ngatai kicks too deep… goes dead, scrum all the way back inside Wellington half
Canterbury hold the Wellington maul up…. scrum
That should be about it to secure the result for Canterbury
3 Minutes to go….
@ grootblousmile:
O ok.Geniet die paartie
Canterbury over the line…
TMO
Any reason NOT to award the try?
That is a try… to George Whitelock
Canterbury 29 / 13 Wellington
Final Score: Canterbury 29 / 13 Wellington Lions
Ja, well, no, fine.
This match shows why New Zealand are just so way ahead of the other countries when it comes to rugby. They have better skilled players, better coaches and way better tactics. Wait for the CC final, kick and pray etc.
It is so sad. South Africa deserves so much better.
59 @ Loosehead:
Yip, the handling skills are definately better…. but on the other hand it’s also some helter-skelter shit sometimes… “mogge troffe” stuff.
The end result is if the South Africans can concentrate and learn better skills early, through school, into age group rugby, and right through… and coaches get given the tools to coach better, the sleeping giant (SA) could achieve so much more.
