@Pietman –
Lions did better than I expected. If they had Cobus, Heinke, Ludik, Walter and Alberts today, it couldve been different
Lions put up a good fight – hats off for that.
@bluepete –
Baie! Ons moet nou die Leeuwens in die Cokeblik gaan wen.

@Supa Die Bloubul – Don’t be greedy. another site is on 14 🙂
Too bad the Bulls are playing the Lions, WP and Sharks the next three weeks without there Boks. If they can be still be in semi final contention then, we have big chance. Only concern is Sharks in Durbs. The rest we can beat anywhere.
