Saders vs Landers - Live Chat

 Fekitoa is looking good as is Ben Smith. Very even so far.

 Saders up by  as Slade lands a difficult kick.

 Try Landers, A. Smith.

 Jw cant watch right now but goodluck t o both teams!

Left your credit card somewhere? Lol
Slade misses a penalty shot off the posts. Saders on attack.

 ... hey JW, looks like a good southern derby...picked a couple of upsets tonight with the Force and the Highlanders paying $3.50 so worth a crack...

 Saders finally get it over, 5 points with and easy conversion to come.

 hey Brycy. One of these teams will lose, good for the Chiefs.
Landers score or was the last pass forward.

 ...the Barret family having a good weekend..  

 ...yeah mate , an epic win by the Mighty Chiefs...Legendary...

 13 - 7 to saders with 5 mins remaining in this half.

 Saders on attack again with good running and passing, plus forwards getting involved.

 Try Saders - McNicol. Easy conversion to come. Converted 20-7 Saders in front. Some good rugby to come as kiwi teams show how to play the game

 ...looked like McCaw scored to me..and Funnel as well and nothing to do with them being in my Fantasy team either honest...

 Dagg on sideline, injured after looking so good.

 Landers making mistakes & saders attacking well.

 Slade's k ick hits the post for the second time.

 A lot of players coming off at the 50 min mark with subs coming in. Earlier than usual.

 Slade kicks a penalty. saders ahead 23-7. Landers will have to show something now if they are to have any chance of winning. Game clock at 52 mins.

 Fekitoa scores a great try for the Landers after a decent series of plays. 23-14 saders in front.

...yeah go Fekitoa...everyone' s relying on you for their Fantasy teams so a few more like that would be appreciated..

 Jw I have been watching for the last 15 minutes but nothing is happening.Bye the way if I am not here to help always listen carefully to Justin Marshall - he usually gets it right nad mostly picks up on bent ref calls.Slade missing kicks. Saw Dagg on bench  - injury. Mcaaaw seems to have been subbed due to loitering around the field and ou kroc ked pinged for foul scrumming.
Landies pressing. Fekitoa scores - but dont getexcited they will stick to conrad.
Game on says the commentators. I had better check my pulse rate! 

 Take the goal kick landies!

 You see the depth in NZ rugby beeno - in all positions. And the kiwi fans don't suffer in anguish like many bok fans.

 Landers are playing like this is their first game of the season, the continuity is often not there and some decisions are not the best. They will do ok this season though. Certainly strong enough to cause problems for the SA teams.
Landers really pushing the attack & get a penalty.

 23-17 & Landers are still in this game. Did saders take Richie off too early?

 Depth!! hahahahhahahahahaha out of their depth as we saw when wee canes played the Lions! Still amazed at how the Lions threw that game away agai nst the hapless blowhards! Very annoying.

 Yes, canes showed the Lions how to win games but did  they learn anything?
Time is running out in this game as the scrum re-sets continue.

 Game sort of stumbling along now & saders get a penalty which could decide the game.
Slade makes the kick saders up 26-17 a minute and a half to go.

Landers on attack & get the penalty 4 seconds left. Landers will go for the kick to get the bonus point.
final score saders win 26-20. Congrats saders. Landers did well for a first game. Both teams showed SA teams how to play - bu t will they ever learn ?

Fading criusties win.

 See ya later boys.

 Jw are you okay mate.I see you started  three landers/crusties threads one of which was on the cricket section!!

I am fine beeno, got up too early to watch the game after a really tough session in the gym the night before. Admittedly many brain cells were not fully engaged  

 a worked win for the saders.
as  every start of season the saders slowly slowly getting their form,...... very slowly,....... the next match against the chiefs will very probably be to soon for them
