What a win GO THE FORCE

What a spanking...

Well done boys... and if we win big next week and things go our way, we might be playing finals football in our second year.

Now that will be a turn up for the books :D

A lesson in cricket followed by a lesson in Rugby, all in 1 week...poor Saffers

Fantasic win...Plus the much needed bonus point. FINALS are in the air. :D

nice little win I made on Cross getting the first try also :)

Welcome aboard photog :approve:
A great win on its own merits but the defence will have a few teams left in the comp taking notes.
Well done though :cheers:

stanner broke his try drought finally

Bulls get a bonus point? If so we can't make it if they win can we?

Bugger!
The line was always - we need to win with a bonus point AND

Other results need to go our way -

Well we won with a bonus point BUT we're currently 0 from 3 for other results going our way! The Chiefs, the Bulls and the Brumbies all won! (How'd the Brumbies beat the Crusaders? - nice effort!)

Looking more and more impossible.
