    162 @Supa Die Bloubul – Nee, hulle het 15 gehad voor die game, ons het 14 gehad.

    Ons spannetjie sal vrydag aand moet werk aan hul punteverskil, want dit is 50 punte slegter as die 3 spanne wat bo ons lΓͺ.

    Good game to watch,

    Stiffies Lions. I’m still trying to work out where you went wrong! Methinks some of your forwards are a little out of wind.
    Not sure that the Sharks game plan is going to win. Best form of defense is attack but seems like feeding off other’s mistakes is the way they’re playing it. When they run the ball they seem to have the best handling in the competition. Almost, but not quite, the 1995 etc Sharks play.
    Kanako MOM. Deserved. Monty played well as did Deysel.
    For the Lions, yup, Alberts played very well as did Mentz. Minnie seems like a really good player too. Someone for Lions to invest in. Minnie and JF as centres could be the best combo in SA.

    164@carol – Fark, Karlientjie… I do not consider it a good proposition for these two people who are getting engaged to even be together (damn they are both immature fools who think they know a lot)…

    Nothing good can come from that unholy allience… trust me !

    @OCO – OCO Hiya old chap, how good to hear from you….Things OK in OCO land?

  • 170

    @bdb

    Jys reg. Ek dog ons was op 13.

    Ja, ons moet die Luiperds met minstens 50 klap.

    Maar 1 van die Sharks/GW gaan volgende week verloor so ons sal een inhaal. En WP kan dalk sukkel om 4 driee teen die Leeus te druk so ons gan gelyk met hulle ook trek. Ons moet net naby genoeg wees as die Bokke terugkom, want dan sal net die Sharks met ons kan kompeteer.

    167@carol – Hehehehe

    Two Thirds of our comments and we have not even gone public yet….

    GBS,

    Didn’t vanish. That other blog (Who shall no longer be mentioned) did a 10 minute update. Couldn’t live with that …

    Anyhow, great to be on a blogg with those who talk rugga – and actually has a good refresh rate πŸ™‚

    Hey Jonnie Wilkinson kicked 17 points for Toulon today. Hope he is not lame tomorrow!
    Good news for us ‘Englanders’!!

  • 174

    @OCO – Good summary on individuals there mate!

  • 175

    172@OCO – Osama the Sand Flea, what do you think of the layout here?

    … and believe me, we are not finished yet with gadgets, gizmos, adverts ect….

  • 176

    170 @Supa Die Bloubul – ons kopseer is die losskakel posisie. Brummer en Francis is soos ‘n flikkerlig, aan en af van wedstryd tot wedstryd, dit is nie goed vir die span nie. Iemand wat my al meer beindruk, is Burger op flank. Laasjaar net strafskoppe afgegee, maar nou speel hy elke wedstryd al beter. Stegmann is stil na sy besering, maar Dewald was weer tops. Vd Heever ryg die drieΓ« in, hul moet hom baie meer in die spel inbring.

    Baie belangrike wen, dit kon slegs 1 punt gewees het, maar die manne het weereens BMT gewys.

    Hiya Karol,

    Have been ‘watching over’ the blog. Seems you have found a good ‘nesting site’ πŸ™‚

    OCO land is OK. Sort of like some of the other cartoon lands – but that’s another story!
    Bought back my mountain bike form CT. Now all I need is a pomp.

    How are things with you? Recovered from your trip to Eden?

  • 179

    @grootblousmile – Well Voldys Bulls thread ran to 58!!

    Thats because all the Bulls fans are now here!! πŸ™‚

    I’m off, try to enjoy your evening out with the ‘Happy at the Moment’ couple!! Ons praat weer more lekker ding. xx

    179@carol – Cheers sistah !!

    Enjoy the shindig tonight !
