Loosehead, jou naam sê wat met julle gaan gebeur teen die Bulle vrydagaand ! 😉
Super
Problem is alles gaan oor geld, so die ouens gaan speel waar hulle die beste paytjek kry. Maar die huidige klomp moegoes verdedig darem ook net te kak. En dit kom al ‘n hele paar games aan. In 7’s kan jy nie twee ouens opoffer om een ou te tackle nie!
Boring, just kick, kick and more kicking.
29 – KP, Yip think so boet.
Nou van wanneer af is dit verkeerd om ‘n Ingelsman te trip ?
Back here… BonzaiHandbriekie was testing a new recepy on us…. Baguette bread with Camenbert Cheese stuffed with garlic, thyme on top and baked in white wine.
You then dip the fresh Baquette in this lovely melted Camenbert cheese fondu-type dish….
Hell, BonzaiHandbriekie should come to work at The Mount….
Try England damn!! Pity right on the break.
36 – Sounds good GBS. Need to have a really good red wine with that 😉
Lemoenetyd
38@ Puma – It’s actually very bloody nice to have a chef in the family…. she spoils us rotten whilst experimenting with all sorts of dishes… and on top of it, she likes what she does.
Bargain any way you look at it!
Jy moet dat sy vir jou n kondensmelk special maak
Eissssh ek het n moerse Mosambiek spoegkobra gesien vandag , sal netnou n foto gooi op my foto blog. Ook met die terugkomslag vanmiddag amper n Leopard kill gesien, die rooibok ram was net betyds.
41@ SuperBul – Hehehehe
So gepraat daarvan, ek het ‘n blik Caramel wat ek wil meng met Rice Crispies en wil opvreet!
Jis maar Engeland speel, ek gaan die een ver mis.
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Wales!
43: Doe so voort, Groot Blik Soetgoed … Bulle soek juis ‘n ekstra paar dik vaskopstutte !
40 – GBS, That is for sure.
Wales need a try here, otherwise think England will win this.
Ball should have gone wide to Shane Williams…damn!
I cant watch the game now , how is Scotland doing , can they come back?
50@ SuperBul – Die Parras en die Skotse Rokkies speel mos eers more
Oi, Wallis slaan bal na bal aan met kak aangeewerk
16:50-19:00 SS1 Six Nations: Rnd 1 – Scotland v France
Wales lineout is rubbish.

Ja Moremiddag

56 – GBS, now those missed kicks may really cost them a win.
Need another try now to win this. Have to be quick about it too, time going fast.
Fark, try Haskell
Damn, penalty for Poms…it’s over for Wales… Johnny Bionic will slot this one
