Like father, like daughter

Bojanala hosts 21.1km and 5km race

Crusaders vs WaratahsDie Saders hardloop die besoekers stukkend in Christchurch ondanks die feit dat die game in gietende reën gespeel was. Die eindtelling was 29-10 en coach Blackadder was heel in sy skik met die puik balhantering in uiters moeilike omstandighede. Die Waratahs speel volgende tuis in Sydney teen die Chiefs met die Crusaders wat Auckland toe reis om teen die Blues uit te draf.

Reds vs SunwolvesIn Brisbane moes die Reds diep delf vir hul oorwinning van 35-25 oor die Japanners. Die wedstryd het baie gelykop verloop maar die Reds se vories was net té sterk op die dag. Die Sunwolves speel volgende op hul toer dóér onder teen die Brumbies in Canberra met die Reds wat ‘n loslootjie geniet.

Chiefs vs RebelsDie manne van Waikato verdien ‘n bonuspunt in Hamilton vir hul dag op kantoor en klop die Rebelle gemaklik met 36-15. Met hierdie oorwinning en bonuspunt is die Chiefs weer die voorlopers in die NZ Konferensie. Die Rebels draf volgende in ‘n Aussie derby teen die Force uit in Melbourne met die Chiefs wat Sydney toe reis om met die Waratahs kragte te gaan meet.

Force vs BluesIn Perth behaal die Blues ‘n naelskraapse oorwinning en wen 17-13 in ‘n modderbad. Hoog skop en hoop om raak te vang was aan die orde van die dag. Gagga game ou grote, gagga! Die Force speel volgende teen die Rebels in Melbourne met die Blues wat teen die Crusaders in Auckland gaan uitdraf.

Leeus vs JaguaresIn Jo’burg wen die Leeus hul katgeveg verspotmaklik met 52-24 en kuier agt keer agter die doellyn van die Jaguares. Met hierdie spogvertoning moes daar ook ‘n hele paar spelers regmerkies verdien het vir die wedloop om ‘n plek in die Bokspan – wat teen Ierland in Junie gaan uitdraf – te beklee. Die Jaguares was weereens uiters teleurstellend en cope nie met die pas van Superruggas nie ou grote. Die Argentyne draf volgende teen die hulpelose Kings in PE uit met die Leeus wat Fort Loftus toe reis om teen die Bulle uit te draf. Hierdie game gaan beslis nie wees vir manne en maninne met swak harte nie maat.

Haaie vs KingsKuikenmoord in Durban. Die Haaie was honger vir ‘n bonuspunt en skiet toe vraat en druk agt puik drieë. Pat Lambie en Paul Jordaan was Bok gehalte ou grote. Die Haaie het volgende ‘n welverdiende loslootjie met die Kings wat gasheer gaan speel vir die Jaguares in PE.

Bulle vs StormersIn ‘n straatgeveg sonder enige reëls, klop die Bulle die Stormers 17-13. Die spiertiere van die Kaap word voos geduik deur ‘n Blou Bul agttal wat op hulle stukke was. Tem Eben en kie en jy klop die Kapenaars ou grote. Pieter-Steph Du Toit en Frans Malherbe het hard probeer, maar dit was nie genoeg nie. Die Bulle speel volgende op Loftus teen die Leeus en die Stormers draf op Nuweland uit teen die Cheetahs.

Nag ou grote…
