The Leopards met Griquas in Potchefstroom tonight, where Griquas won a tight encounter, 34 / 33.
Griquas secured 5 Log points and kept their fight for a Currie Cup semi-final alive by scoring 4 tries and hanging on to defend a 1 point lead from a game Leopards team, who seems to be improving as the season unfolds.
The four-tries-to-two, bonus-point win cemented Griquas’ place in the top four and they could even find themselves in third place by the end of the weekend – depending on the Saturday matches.
For the Leopards it was scant consolation to get only a losing bonus point.
The scorers:
For the Leopards:
Tries: Dames, Samaai
Con: Dumond
Pens: Dumond 7

@Supa Die Bloubul – I’m hoping Justin TV will oblige, too busy to get to mates house and no pub round here would show the match!
So what is a brannewyn, when it’s at home?
@JimT – Hi Jim, you mean you don’t know!! Didn’t you look at your Superbru? How you doing today?
I will not spill the beans!
@grootblousmile –
Lekker Luiperds!!!
28@carol – I said Bokke by 10
I’m relaxed now…. sletsap in hand… Big Screen on and also TV on one PC Screen…. Blog open on the second PC screen… life is a song !
@carol – w
Justintv will show the test. But probably not the CC tomorrow afternoon. Brannewyn is brandy. My wife brought me local brandy back from SA, very good!
Nasty Olivier puts a penalty over…
Leopards 16 / 13
@carol –
Why arent you watching the Pom/Aus cricket game?
@carol – I’m not clever enough to handle Superbru for the CC so I don’t compete. Looking at my standings for the 3N seems I’m not clever enough for that either. 🙁
@grootblousmile – sing hom uit volle bors – Life will be a song when I can stop tonight….will have to get up in a mo and do things!!
Friday means a glass of wine later tho!! 😉
40@carol – Shopping Night AGAIN ??
@grootblousmile – I have Boks by 7 but they will win comfortably. Suspect they will ease off in the 2nd half as usual when PDV makes his subs.
@JimT – Opps, looks like I am ahead of you on the Tri Nations Jim!! Heheheheh.
I am doing the Guinness Premiership version with 4man too. Just did the picks, really tricky at the start of the season!
Would you like to join that one?
42@JimT – I hate those silly subs Jimmy…. fark !
@grootblousmile – Walk dogs, do horses, get the groceries, cook , HAVE A GLASS OF WINE!!!! Sleep….
I feel tired just reading that!!
@Supa Die Bloubul – No Sky, listening on the radio though!!
Do you put coke with that brandy in true Saffa style?
@carol – Go on smarty pants, rub it in. Wait until next year 🙂
Lemoenetyd
Leopards 19 / Kwas 13
@grootblousmile –
Mooi Luidonkies! Hou so aan!
@JimT – Jim, I am not evenin the top 30, so I am not exactly flying!!
@grootblousmile – THat’s right, it’s an annoying part of the modern game. IRB needs to change the rules & curb the abuse. Why can’t people play the full 80 minutes?
45@carol – Walk the horses, do the dogs… get the cook, groceries…. bump uglies…. jeeeeeeez… busy girl !!
Hehehe
@carol – I won’t mention my lowly position. That’s what comes from having too much faith in the ABs 🙁
I Skyped with Ed the Lion last night, cool 🙂
@grootblousmile – ‘Bump Uglies’ – what is that? 😐
Not sure I have factored that in!!
54@carol – Use your imagination…
@JimT – YOu must not follow the heart on these matters, that is where I fouled up this time!
Fancy saying Lions by 10, just because Ed and K9 had bigged them up and I believed them! I have made SUCH a mistake. Lol
How is Ed’s accent? Could you understand him ok?
@grootblousmile – You have met WRS, I wouldn’t call him ugly!! 😯 Is that what you mean?
I must go and do my list, 7pm here so I had better get cracking…..
I need the Griquas to pull their fingers out!!!
Have fun boys, till later xxx
57@carol – No…. eishhhh your imagination is limited….
@grootblousmile – Put the dogs on top of the horses & save a task 🙂
