79 PENALTY, HURRICANES, WEEPu. 34-20. That makes nine penalties to the Hurricanes.
Chaballie skop hom weer oor, lyk my die baard werk.
Geluk aan Canes, weg wen, hulle is los voor op die log.
Blues, slegter kan jy nie begin nie, op tuisveld, geen bonuspunte nie. Hulle lê heelonder op die log, minus 11 punte. Hulle sal nou 3 in ‘n ry moet wen om weer by te kom !
Just know one thing is for sure. YOU NEED A DAMN good kicker if we going to get those amounts of plenalties.
Bulls have Morne they will be feeling very comfortable with him.
Loosehead have it spot on , win by 14
I was hoping for 3 more points, my pick was 17
Blues het 27 punte aan penalties afgestaan!…Eish.
en geen bonus punte in die game gewees nie…goeie nuus
211 – Super, Unbelievable the amount of penalties there.
205: Hallo Pietman, sterkte met die bou.

Ek het probeer registreer, maar hy gooi heeltyd my password terug?
Will try again later, have to run again.
Cheers all.
Well my Superbru gets off to a good start, got the win but not the score there. Never thought it would be won by that much, thought a much closer score between those two teams.
210@ Pietman – Jy moet lees broer…. jy moet aan webmaster@rugby-talk.com ‘n mail stuur, sodat ek jou op die Comp kan registreer…. kyk daar’s ‘n hele THREAD daaroor!
PS! Ek het jou nou probeer bel…. kommie deur nie!
80 That’s it. Game over! the Hurricanes win 34-20 despite only scoring one try – an intercept try at that. The Blues will be livid with themselves, those try tries ended up counting for nothing due to their errors in defence. Thanks for joining us. Stay tuned for the Brumbies and Force in a few hours. Cheers.
216 – Fires, Yip no bonus and that is good news.
219 – Piet, Howzit when will you bet set up proper? Need to get your adsl up and running my friend.
How you keeping? Hope all is going well.
Ok, I blew the margin but I got my first pick 😀
GBS
Selfoon le iewers by Builders Warehouse, gaan nou soontoe,sal later weer probeer.
224 – Just ignore the (bet) mistake.
Guys tell me is the commentary i post helping you guys? It is about 3 to 4 minutes slower than the live action. They are not as fast as cricinfo.
Hallo Pietman !
You have abandoned me here in Asia I see 😥
Got the win but not the spoils – oh well I’m a novice and will learn from my conservatism.
Yes Super it is great – sitting at work and watching progress.
When I click on competition this appears.
ERROR #5915: Cannot allocate a license
Ok let me go work – people gone.
If it helps one person i will do it, when available.
232@ Oirish – Busy sorting it out…. it appears that the Competition Organisers did not think we would be as busy as what we are…. it’ll be up and running just now….
233- Irish, We got the win mate. That counts for now. Never mind the score at this stage as long as we pick up points for the win.
See I told you Canes!!!!!!! 😆
234 – Super it was great, keep doing it. I had a busniness call for 30min and followed what you said. Could not watch on tv at that stage.
You doing a good job mate, keep it up.
237 – typo there. meant business.
Hallo GBS, AB, Superbul
Gaan ons wen vanaand ?
Slegte nuus vir Bulle: Hougaard het onttrek, Mametsa in sy plek. Bulle dun op vleuels hierdie jaar, met Akona nog beseer en Habana ‘Gone with the Stormers’.
Eish, Mametsa het ‘n hart van ‘n leeu (bul bedoel ek), maar die spoed kort. Laat ons maar sien.
