Tahs end torture
1 Mar 2013
The Waratahs won for the first time in 10 Super Rugby starts to kick start their 2013 campaign.
The home team beat the Rebels 31-26 but for the first 40 minutes it looked miserable for the Tahs, who trailed 16-6.
The Rebels enjoyed possession and field position advantage in the first 40 minutes as the Tahs battled to get into the game.
The second half proved a different story as the Tahs upped the tempo of the game, played with greater conviction and cohesion and scored two tries to Kurtely Beale’s injury time final score of the match.
Beale’s try earned the Rebels a bonus point but the four points deservedly went to the home team for whom flanker Michael Hooper was the outstanding player.
James O’Connor kicked well for the Rebels, but was powerless to influence the outcome because of a lack of ball in the second half.

The English still own Australia Gibraltar Malta Maldives their 3 Celtic colonies parts of West Indies and parts of colonial Canada. And they like to think they own much of their last bastion in Shakas old kingdom plus they sit here on the slopes of the southern western mountains overlooking the Indian ocean and think they’re at peace in their home they made from home where they sip gin and tonic and reminisce at how they once had grandiose desIgns at owning the entire African continent from Cape to Cairo.

I call for the Queen of England to be reinstated as the head of the Republic of Natal. She will put Jacob to shame.
Long live the Empire!
Long live the glorious Republic of Natal!

Skop should you not be running a political campaign within the ANC. Most of your issues are legit but they won’t be changed on a rugby forum.
Your issues are born from the lack of action from the ANC. You see the government are enjoying the fruits of what the whites have brought to rsa and the demise of the black population. Once the plight of whites and blacks come closer together the need for ANC to exist will cease. The ANC needs to ensure the whites remain rich and the majority poor so they can keep dividing and ruling. The ANC will bask in riches of both.
