Cruel finish...Stormers the better team defensively and missed the odd almost certain scoring opportunity...really should have won / closed out the game but Andy Ellis came on and somehow the Crusaders seemed to be getting ball to go forward with whereas they were being stopped before that...
I'd prefer a SA team to win any day and moreso as one of the clanners had a good bet on the Stormers in running...I had taken the Stormers +6,5 in running (into Blues on handicap...) so the penalty at the end had no bearing on my bets...

Possible high tackle on Grant at the end and not even a replay or check by the referee / linesman...SA teams need to join up with Eng / France in competition...just find it very hard to think that SA teams can beat 16 opponents (on the field) after the travel they do...

the cheetahs lost and with the Crusaders winning by 1 point and the Rebels DOWN 0-32 after 26 minutes I can see why you support the Bulls. It very obvious that you don't know much about rugby

No I wont match that ... cos I do not believe in sucker bets. Also, I do not think either of these sides will win it. But if they are poor they will both finish in the bottom half of the log... would you like the same challenge for R200 ??

Amazing - the Rebels look poor - I think the Stipes need to be called in to investigate the 'sudden improvement' of the Force

C'mon Mr H.... nail your colours to a mast !! Not 13 teams verse two ....

and don't forget about De Villiers try. His head touch the base of the posts so it should have been awarded because so long as you have the ball in control and your body makes contact with the padding its a try.
