i saw re deysel,
and i said long ago the best loose trio in sa right now would have been
alberts , dysel and brussow
pottie on bench whilst spies is injured
and witgh alberts not their both supa and i thonght the loose trio should be deysel,pottie and brussow
28@ Tjarky – “When on form”…. that is the criteria… Ruan is NOT on form, Kanko is NOT on form, Adi is NOT on form!
….and NOOOOOOOOO they should not be afforded passenger status… nobody should!
rudi byt jou later kak broer werk roep lol
ciao for now
Well it was as expected. I don’t like Kankowski and Jacobs in the team. Would have preferred Potgieter and Meisiekind.
Mistake starting Danie at blindside I think. I would have had Deysel starting.
Danie better at 8 and 4.
Very pleased to see Deysel made the bench though and really, really hoping he gets a chance to play. Deserves it. Being playing superb for a very long time.
Good luck Deysel. With Deysel at 7 and Brussow at 6 what a combination. Would be awesome.
35 – Loosehead. I like Potties too but maybe just not tall enough for a 8? Not sure just my thoughts.
Would have started with WO as well.
The wrong Hougaard was selected. Pienaar should be scrumhalf and nothing else.
23: sharky, ek het gesê Dewald se spoed en vaardighede is vir my beter as Deysel s’n, ek het nie van Danie gepraat nie. Ek hou van Deysel hy is ‘n goeie speler (bly hy is op die bank), maar hy is baie soos Danie, ‘n tipe ‘enforcer’ speler. Daarom dat as Snorre vir Danie kies (of ek en jy nou saamstem of nie), dan kort jy ‘n vinniger speler, en Dewald is daar die regte ou.
Jy kort nuwe brille, verkieslik een met groen en goud strepe, nie die ou swart en wit strepe een wat nie telborde, hoeveel tyd daar oor is, ens., kan lees nie … 😉
So terloops, oom Daniesourus gaan julle almal stil speel saterdag. As hy dit nie doen nie, en my drop, vat ek sy oomskap weg !

40 – GBS, apparently Keo is more ‘relaxed’ since you left!! 😐 Relaxed!! Strange term!
nou ja wian is nou gekies ek hoop net dat daar met oefeninge genoeg aandag aan die skrums gegee is anders gaan ons beste loskop ook sleg lyk.l die ding is dat ‘n skrum SLEGS met oefening regkom,einde van die storie
Which night is ‘Party Night’ this week, don’t say tomorrow…I am out tomorrow night!
41@ Carol – Oh damn… who’s more relaxed than me?
Bwahahaha
“Party Night”?????
Tonight is Boots and All night… remember!
aan al die deysel dissipels hy is seker ‘n goeie halfsterkte weergawe van meneer juan smith so al julle gebabbel is net om die tyd om te kry tot die BESTE 7flank in die wereld van sy besering herstel het.mark my words as mnr SMITH volgende jaar terug is gaan hierdie poofters maar vaal langs hom lyk
Evening GBS, Carol and Smallies.
GBS, ek het vir jou ‘mail’ gestuur.
42@ smallies72 – Dinge gaan lol in die skrums Saterdag, verseker! Mens gooi nie net 3 vreemdes vir mekaar, al is hulle hoe sterk, by nog 2 vreemde slotte, en 3 vreemde loosies en verwag wondere nie…
Hoor bietjie wat sê Tight Head en die ouens wat skrumspel ken…… dit vat baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaie saam oefen en saam game time voor jy instinktief saam “hit”, saam gelyk skrum ensovoorts…
Ons mag dalk selfs ‘n strafdrie afstaan.
Ten minste is Wian en Adriaan welbekend met mekaar….
45 – Smallies, hehehe What poofters 😆
BDB never saw you there evening to you too boet.
50: hallo Puma, jy tevrede met die bokspan vir saterdag ?
47@ BiDiBiDi – Mail gekry… ek sal bietjie kyk, maar ek moet jou waarsku, ek het nog nooit die ONLINE services gebruik om sport te kyk nie… was nog nooit nodig nie.
Gee my ‘n rukkie….
45@puma Jeanerie deysel en dewaldlina potgieter
44 – GBS Just thought we should have a gathering one evening!! You could practice being even more ‘relaxed’……Boots and all again, somehow it always seems to be Thursday!!
45: Smallies, dink jy nie dit is omdat daar deesdae so baie vrystaters in die bokgroep is, dat die bokke so begin verloor nie … ?
51 – Well a bit. Thought that Potties would have made the bench at least. I would have started with Deysel and WO. Think Potties is a bit short for 8 not sure though just my feeling otherwise would have had him start at 8 instead of Kanko. Kanko not playing well at the moment. Then he needs plenty game time at this level.
Pleased BJ is back too.
52: dankie. Sal ook volgende keer as Pietman aanlyn is hom weer vra vir hulp.
Hi Puma, Smallies and BDB – Puma I have checked your SuperBru choices….They seem OK to me!! 🙂
I am aiming to remain above GBS again this week!! Some tricky choices to make though!
@bdl nee ou die staters in die span het nie een al swak op die toer gespeel nie in teendeel hulle is die ouens wat lyk of hulle daar hoort,endalk net moet dit so wees
54 – Carol, What do you think of Spain?
