Good side , I see the Argie Prop is on the bench. Close to the real deal excepot maybe for halfbacks , our back 3 is potently fast !!
This game is televised…
broadcast starts at 18:00
The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport 1 and will be preceded by a one-hour highlights package of the Stormers-Western Force and Sharks-Western Force Neo Africa Series matches played earlier in the week. Stormers Team .
Now all you Sharks can watch it again and weep !!!
2 – Blouste, Why? who going to weep for a game that means nothing buddy? No points for a friendly. 😉
Don’t count us Sharkies out yet. Everyone counted your Bulls out last year and it was a huge, huge mistake they won the tourney and won it by the biggest margin. Don’t think Sharks will win it but we could make a semi still.
Teams to watch out for I feel. Bulls,Stormers, Sharks, Saders, Brumbies, Tahs, Blues and Chiefs. The top 4 should come from one of those teams.
GBS, ek voel persoonlik ek was heel in die kol met my stormers, al hoekom ek nie so kon afgaan op hulle soos met die eerste 3 spanne nie, is omdat hulle nie soveel strooi het nie. Jy sal sien, die Bulls kry ook nie soveel pak nie, behalwe op stut en senter.
puma @ 3
no ‘canes in there, puma?
anyway, as you’ve said …. the warm-up games doesnt account for much when the real deal starts. just amazed that your team couldnt score any points. unfortunately they’ll be broadcasting the “highlights” 😉 of that game in my “pub” time, so unfortunately i won’t be able to see for myself what the heck happened yesterday!
o flok, en net bulle waar jy kyk (users online)
wat de f*k is dit?
julle f*kken wei sessie?
nou waar de flok is hulle nou weer heen?
is hier
i is not a bull
Middag almal
Dink net daaraan, as die Stormers vrydagaand wen, dan is hul beker droogte uiteindelik gebreek. Sien al die ondersteuners is baie opgewonde.
Ashley gaan dan eendag, as hy op sy aftreestoep sit, en sy klein-kleinseun vra hom: “Ou Oupa, het die WP of Stormers ooit ‘n beker gewen in die jare 2002 tot 2090?”
Dan antwoord ou Ash: “Nee, ou seun, maar ons het darem die “Neo Africa Tri-Series” trofee, gewen !” 😉
ñ eggo
in die plek
4@ The Saint – Nee dis reg vrind….. toe jy nie so hard hap na die Stormpoppies nie, toe hap ek maar…. net om die balans te hou… hehehe
Ek dink darem ook nie die Stormers het soveel kakkas as die Cheetahs en die Lions nie, ek dink die Tjarks is ‘n sterbelaaide span maar met ‘n power agterlyn (kak fly halfs en beide senters is ‘n probleem) en uitstekende voorspelers… freegin dik diepte in die voorspelers.
Die Bulls…. hulle het daai 2 probleme soos jy sê maar ek dink ook daar is nie genoeg “ABSOLUTE QUALITY” diepte na die begin 22-tal nie en die Bulle was geseën laasjaar met min kritieke beserings in die Super 14….
Sal maar sien…. sal maar sien…
bdb @ 10
nee, ek gaan antwoord:
“nie totdat jou pa sy debuut gemaak het nie, boeta. vanaf jou pa se debuut tot hy op gryse ouderdom bulle toe is, het province ñ goue era beleef”
btw
die uitverkorene van wie ek praat, is nou in graad 1 in klein gim (paarl) 😆
gbs @ 13
darem jou valstande ingehad toe jy gehap het?
… en dan gaan hy vra: “Oupa, het die Bulls deelgeneem aan die reeks?” …
14:Ash, geluk met die gr.1 een parabeen !
15: LOL ! dalk kan jy die volgene rondte joune vir hom leen ?
bdb @ 16
en ek sal antwoord: “as jy weet wat goed vir jou is, sal jy met jou robot speel en jou b*k hou!!” 😀
bdb @ 17
ek het nie, maar ek kan vir hom snoekkoppe stuur as hy swaar eet!
… en dan antwoord Oupa Ash: “Nee, ou seun, dit was soos die jare 1880 tot 1938 in die CB, toe ons 90% van ons CB’s gewen het … sug … tot daai span op die toneel verskyn het … burp …”
bdb – we will rather just think back to the total Currie Cups won, all those amazing finals and realise, the wheel turns… 🙂
bdb @ 20
lol
Daar is op hierdie stadium so vier spelers in bogenoemde span wat ek in my Bokspan van 2010 sal insluit, en as dit nie vir die aankope was nie …
21: hallo gogga, nog nie hier ontmoet nie, welkom. Jy is reg, die wiele moet seker draai, dit is die wet van gemiddeldes, en daarom moet ons bevoorregtes maar dit geniet terwyl die wiel lekker hoog daarbo is ! 😉
habanna, fourie, burger and the 4th, vermeulen, bekker, de jongh?
25: Joe, Habana, JF en Schalk.
gogga @ 25
ag ignoreer maar jong
daai comment (#23) kom van ouens af wat sing “makie bulle almal bokke” 😀
De Jongh, Bekker en Duane sal my vergrote bokgroep moontlik haal.
Maar, Bekker se senterspel gaan so bietjie agteruit, so ek sal eers moet kyk hoe hy vaar hy in die S14.
Hoor nou net Ludeke sê dat hul grootste uitdaging vir saterdag se wedstryd teen die Leeus, is nie die Leeus self nie, maar om vir Pedri van al die witlyne af te hou.
Hulle het glo gereël met die ref dat as die Bulle op hul eie doellyn ‘n 5 meter skrum kry, die ref dit liewers 10 meter moet maak.
Ai, maar ‘n Bul maak ‘n plan !
Mrs. O’Donovan was walking down O’Connell Street in Dublin, and coming in the opposite direction was Father O’Rafferty.
“Hello,” said the Father, “And how is Mrs. O’Donovan, didn’t I marry you two years ago?”
“You did that, Father.”
“And are there any little ones yet?”
“No, not yet, Father.” Said she.
“Well now, I’m going to Rome next week, and I’ll light a candle for you.”
“Thank-you, Father.” And away she went.
A few years later they met again.
“Well now, Mrs. O’Donovan,” said the Father, “how are you?”
“Oh, very well,” said she.
“And tell me,” he said, “have you any little ones yet?”
“Oh yes, Father. I’ve had three sets of twins, and four singles – ten in all.”
“Now isn’t that wonderful,” he said “And how is your lovely husband?”
“Oh,” she said, “he’s over in Rome to blow that candle out!”
