SuperRugby: Cheetahs v Highlanders. 28/04/2012

[Sker]

He kicked a successful conversion to make it 30 - 9 (I think?) but obviously when the highlanders started scoring the pressure started mounting, and he missed two penalties, one right infront of the posts that might have won or equalized the game.

edit: and bullshit, Sias didn't cost them that game, the sloppy defense cost them.

Red for Haskell. Closed fist into the side of the head.
Nice win for the Highlanders, missed the second half though, I'll have to watch it later.

They'll have to stay in touch like they did against the Chiefs but unlike the Chiefs they mustn't allow two quick tries LOL.

Oh the irony...

Haha, as soon as I decide that I don't want to watch this game, turn off the television annd go back to bed at around 4:00am, the Highlanders score three tries and win the game. That's almost more annoying than them losing.

haha brilliant game. Good effort from both teams.

Was it the first punch or 2nd punch he threw?? They showed the replay's over and over... Why didn't the ref just listen to his assistant??

As for Sias's kick, 5 m in front of goal, even Oscar Pistorius would have kicked that one over! He has no BMT!

Goosen out for the rest of the tournament after dislocating his sholder - and that is the end for the Cheetahs, sadly

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

That sucks :/ I was looking forward to seeing him in the Springboks.

 

[Mary7]

Lovely Highlands!!! Hope to see you in Durban!!!! That should be a damn good game..Feeling it might go the Sharks way. :-(

 

[Sker]

He's still a young player Heineken, this is all part of the experience. I'm pretty sure if he sorts out his nerves and with a little more gametime he could become a great flyhalf...

 

[Larksea]

crazy game, Ben Smith was brilliant.

Going to be a tough pick betwnn Ben Smith And Andre Taylor for the All Blacks. Personally I'd have Ben Smith, Taylor is impressive but his workrate is nothing compared to Smith. Taylor seems to come into the game through set play and make a couple of massive plays each game but overall is pretty quiet in comparison to Smith is always in the game constantly

 

[Kiwiwomble]

dont ask me why but even though everyone touts smith a this great utility taylor looks like he would could cover the centre's etc very well and Smiths best postion is by far full back, he just loves the extra space it gives him. if true this might sugest smith to start and taylor on the bench?

doubt it will happen, dagg's rep will carry him into the team

I just want to see smith playing behind a AB's farward pack and popping up in a back line with guys like carter and conrad smith rather than sticking him out on the wing of an AB's light team
