  @Ashley – Shame Asbakkie, ons is soooooo bly vir jou, wanneer laas was daar ‘n semi finaal op nuweland gewees? dit moet moerse exciting wees

  I’m pleased, ’cause I thought your comment above, although very sarcastic, was right on the money…and quite witty actually!

  I think it depends on one’s priorities and these can change over time, bdb.

  I’ve found that the older I get, the less importance I attach to my team winning whatever game or trophy is up for grabs. After all, the same game or trophy will be played for again next year.

  On some Saturdays my beer is going to taste better ’cause my team has won and on other Saturdays it will just taste like a beer ’cause my team has lost.

  The word ‘fan’ stems from fanatic and somehow I never was fanatical about any team even when I was younger.

  I think that many fans’ self worth or self image is tied to the performance of their team and as such take the performance of their team very, very personally. For these fans objectivity is a swear word.

  What do you scheme?

  Thanks SAB.

  Having said all that, my heart lies with the Hoops even though my head says it will be “Oops!” instead of Hoops come Saturday eve!

  32@fender – stem saam, rugby is wonderlik maar dit is nie die enigste ding in die lewe nie. As iemand se ‘image’ afhang van ‘n rugbywedstryd, dan is jou lewe darem baie leeg. ‘n Mens moet wen en verloor kan vat. Die lewe is soet en suur, albei. En ‘n mens moet ook ‘n ander goeie span erken en respekteer. As ‘n ander span my span deur goeie rugby wen, dan geluk aan so span, en die lewe gaan aan.

  Maar, onthou ook, hierdie blog is hier om lekker rugby te gesels EN lekker met mekaar te ‘banter’, so moet nie al die grappies oor die WP te ernstig opvat nie, ontspan ! :clown:

  I’m not superstitious, so what could this stormy weather mean?

  Don’t worry about the grappies – I’m all for that. In fact, everything about WP over the last couple of seasons has been a bit of a grappie if you ask me!

  And like a good Sauvignon Blanc from my valley here, I’m well chilled.

  #37 & 38 SAB and Loosehead

  Hehe, nice one Loosehead!

  Ja, we left Witsand at the mouth of the Breede yesterday and it rained all the way home. I’m very happy about that ’cause places like Heidelberg and Robertson can really do with the rain.
  Of course, the dogs were really happy to see us when we got back home what with all the thunder and lightning around.

  But, you reckon its a sign that the Bulls :cow2: might be out of their…er, depth come Saturday, SAB? Gee, I dunno broer, ’cause those ous can really scrum….

  39@fender – nou ja, saterdag op Nuweland het die WP ‘n kans om te sê “alle grappies op ‘n stokkie” (as jy die afrikaanse gesegde ken?).
