Cheetahs v Highlanders

Bones

So we can gather that Buckman is in line for an AB callup and Sopoaga is going to be preferred to Cruden?

When is this being played? On the Superrugby website is says 5th May @ 0500hrs

@Hooroo Tomorrow (Saturday) morning 5am NZ time.

Tordah

two minutes in, both teams throwing the ball around, both spectators in the stadium enjoying themselves

Stargazer

That was a great try. Unfortunately, scored by the wrong team.

Highlanders deserved that after their shit decision making at the maul. Thought Aaron Smith was a bit smarter

Stargazer

Uh oh, they're taping Squire's wrist. Someone, go tell him he's not allowed to get injured before the Lions tour.

Tordah

Judging by the first 15 minutes, the Highlanders should be relegated to the Aussie conference

Stargazer

That was the first good scrum from the Highlanders.

Stargazer

And now Squire is off. Geez.

Stargazer

Finally, a try for the Landers!

Tordah

everything looks like in slow motion compared to the Hurricanes game earlier

Stargazer

@Tordah Was just saying that to the missus. It's like they all have weights tied to their legs.

Stargazer

Looked forward to me.

Tordah

wow, , clear forward pass and the ref says it's fine

Stargazer

@Tordah This is one of SA's worst refs. Fortunately, he did see the obstruction.

Tordah

but then he rules obstruction against the Cheetahs, weird. Clear forward pass, not so clear obstruction

edit: i'll take that back, clear obtruction also

African Monkey

Harsh yellow on Faddes.

Tordah

what the hell was that YC for, that was perfectly fine

Stargazer

What the heck? The Cheethas' player just walks into Matt Faddes and Faddes gets yellow for a late tackle? Faddes' first YC. Bloody awful officiating.

And now Peterson scores for the Cheetahs.
