@K9-MonsterLeeu – 113 – I should have listened to you oh wise one, you said Lions to win and I just laughed!! 🙁
@bdb – 117
Watse hemp het jy aan vandag? 🙂
@SA Barbarians – 114 Can he get the match in Boston?
120@carol – OMG, Ed is showing them Die Leeuloop! 😯
@carol – 😆 yeah…Im not as green as Im cabbage looking 🙂
Willem Alberts has been good under the high balls, nothing else
According to Piet Snor, Jano Vermaak isn’t fat enough to play scrum half for the Boks.
@carol – 123
Yep he can
@grootblousmile – Like Sharks Bulls will struggle until their Boks are back. Just watch both our sides once we get our Boks back.
Lions my 2nd team so its all good 😆
What happened to our sharks friend Trupi? 🙄
126@grootblousmile – He catches the ball on his boep.
@Loosehead – 124 Dare I ask what is Die Leeuloop?
@grootblousmile – Oh you have come back, I saw you rocking in the corner!! 😆
@carol – 132 remind me to show u the next time i see u 😉
132@carol – Look on youtube. You will love it.
@Boerboel –
Hi Boerboel, I did mention on the ‘otherside’ that Bulls and Sharks are without plenty of their Boks. Not only Sharks boet.
Well done to your team they played well.
Bulls on the board
Lions 17 / 3
@SA Barbarians – 128 In that case call the FBI, he should be here!!
Van Den Heever is a class player.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – 130
Prozacs, ice pack on his forehead, and in bed 🙄 🙂
Is losing to the Lions more embarrasing than losing to the WP?
@Puma – Bad luck Puma at least your Boks won.
Irish Devil has just popped in to say Hi to you, he is sorry he has missed you today!
He is pleased JDV is going to his side in Munster!
@SA Barbarians – 😆
@Loosehead – 141
Not as embarrassing as losing to the Cheetahs 🙄 🙂
@carol – 142 Hi Carol, Where did Irish blog? Here or the ‘otherside’ Sound like a double agent here…hahaha.
Pity I missed him. Nice oke Irish. I bet he is pleased that JdV is going to Munster. Well Munster is my team I support over there so maybe I should be pleased about that. Just hope that PdV still selects JdV though.
Yeah, Boks done us very proud today. Top of the log there. Still need to get a bonus point next week or a win to take the 3N. Otherwise will have to win it in Hamilton which will be very tough.
Okay thats me out. Just a quick hello tonight. Still have my Scot visitors here.
Cheers all.
144@SA Barbarians – OUCH! That is so rude. I am going to report you for anti-Cheetah behavior.
@carol – 142 Yeah it was bad luck for my Sharks today. Well we not out of it yet. Tourney still a long way to go. Too many of our players are out playing for the Boks. Same with the Bulls.
We will catch up later. Hoping.
Okay now out of here. Cheers Carol and everyone else. Chat again tomorrow.
Vetgat Alberts is too slow to run.
@Loosehead – 146
🙂
Doppies and Clever on.
