    Kyk daai foto van Habana na die prys uitdeling.
    Die gesig spreek boekdele en die manier hoe hy die bal nog vasklou. Great memories.
    Kyk ook hoe geniet hy sy dop uit die Currie Beker, hy wou graag die ene he, great way wat hy sy loopbaan afsluit…. by die Bulle.

    First Steve, then Naas and now Joost…..is it a Pretoria thing?

    Al wat ek kan sê…..its a maaaaan thing!!!!!!

    Ashley on 2 November 2009 at 9:17 am

    off the topic a bit,
    but
    it seems like the latest excuse out of the wallabie camp is that their opponents are doing everything to win the game,
    when they (according to deans and the aus media) should be trying to promote the game 😆
    this excuse was first used on the boks
    and now again after their loss against the all blacks

    said deans ”That (the alleged illegal play at the breakdown) was frustrating, particularly when you’re playing a fixture in Tokyo …… where you’re trying to promote the game. I don’t think it contributed well to the game.”

    lmfao, deansie i agree with you (NOT) … that bloody morné steyn in the fixture against province, shouldve rather promoted the game
    but instead he converted that last penalty!! 😀

    Hello tripples @7.
    Lees net gou vinnig hier bietjie, maar al wat ek kan se Joost maak nou groot droog.
    Pleks hou sy bek, die stof het al lankal gaan le oor die storie, nou krap hy dit weer oop en gaan skryf hy wragtag nog n boek ook daaroor boonop!
    Wonder of hy daaraan gedink het dat sy laaities dit dalk oor n paar jaar mag lees?
    Dom, dom, dom Joost, jy het nou n groot lat vir jou eie gat gepluk…..nou karring ‘Moegoe Mike’ Bolhuis nog dat hy verdere onthullings moet maak…….eishhh!

    Pietman on 2 November 2009 at 9:30 am

    Hello Puma.
    Very few regional/provincial teams in the world that cab beat this Bulls team, if any.

    But I can’t help feeling for the Cheetahs, there were a few crucial moments in the match where Le Goete and Kaplan slipped up badly, and it went against the Cheetahs mostly.
    But, on the day and also on past performances during the year the Bulls probably deserved the cup more.

    Well done to the Cheetahs and Griquas though, they really excelled against all odds in 2009.

    SAB/Puma
    Yip, thx boys, really good to be here!
    Going up north along the skeleton coast for the rest of the week, and then down to Ai-Ais with my niece’s husband (he runs the air charter services over here, so it is just a quick hop across the desert).
    Namibia is one beautiful world, I tell you, really nice and laid-back folks over here, no stress.
    Cheers, talk laters.

    Yes Piet agree it was good to see Cheetahs and Griquas doing well this year.

    Cheetahs did play well on Saturday and they do play a very attractive rugby to watch. Thought at once stage they were making a comeback like the done against Sharks.

    Bulls just too strong in the end. Good final to watch though enjoyed it.

    Puma on 2 November 2009 at 9:37 am

    20 – Piet enjoy it boet. I have never been to Namibia. One day will make a plan to go. Enjoy your time at home and the weather most of all.

    Tripples / Puma

    I there good folks!! And Tripples baie geluk aan jou ook met jou lekker gevoel vanoggend hehehehe Dit was wel verdien!!

    I have been away on business and generally been working my as off lately.

    Pums, the test team selected is the best we can field I guess, but the least said about about certain backup selections the beter IMO!!

    fender on 2 November 2009 at 9:43 am

    Thanks GBS and goeie more almal.

    I missed the second half – had a reunion with and old Gauteng buddy I hadn’t seen since the eighties – and hadn’t really had time to catch any highlights on Supersport, so GBS the phodies came in very handy. Dankie.

    Congrats to all the Bulls fans here especially my good friend Supa, on not only the CC win but also on the magnificent season you had. Enjoy it, guys – your team deserves every accolade it gets.

    To Loosehead and the Staters, sorry ouens. Hard probeer, but in the end the Bulls were probably just a little to street wise. Ma more is nogge season. Please keep your players….please?

    Agree, our test team is the best going over to play. It is just the youngsters that have been selected that does not seem fair on some that should have made selection. Crazy.

    Where is Mapoe? Think he is a Habs in the making. Vermeulen, Alberts, Deysel, Vermaak, J. Pietersen from WP.

    Thought they were all certs for the squad.
