Right 2nd half about to start….
85@ Blouste – Dit lyk dan of jy hier êrens in die Oos-Rand sit…. volgens jou IP Address.
Kyk, ek is ‘n Pretorianer in murg en been maar ek woon nou hier in die Wille Ooste…. nadat ek ALTYD in die Ooste van Pretoorsdorp gewoon het.
89 – NO. 🙄
Suid van die Vaal in ‘n bar…he he he
89 – Fires, I have Sharks by 2. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Really looking forward to seeing Lambie play though.
Shame die ou op daai “don’t drink and drive” add het nou vanoggend al DRIE keer ‘n ongeluk gemaak…
Blues playing with slight breeze in their backs 2nd half
Puma,
Don’t worry, it’ll be Sharks by 12. 😉
Yep, excited to see Lambie there, I think Oupa will also run with the ball more at wing rather than the constant brain dead kicking.
I reserve my thoughts on Jannie. Don’t want to swear.
Blues turns down another kickable penalty going for the line…
82/87: nog gemanierde mense (Puma is ‘n Bloubul Shark!).
Ek lees by rugbyzone, een van hul skrywers seg:
“Labeled the ‘pretty boys’ by fellow South African franchises the coastal side lured two Springboks in the form of Bryan Habana and Jaque Fourie to the Western Cape on fat paychecks this season. It has definitely helped matters, however, the performance of the pack deserves special attention this season. The Stormers have always had excellent backline players (Robbie Fleck, Percy Montgomery, Breyton Paulse, Bob Skinstad come to mind right away), but the forwards haven’t been able hold their own against the better sides.”
Bobby ‘n agterlyn-speler, hehehe, hy het so baie in die agterlyn gestaan, mense dink vandag hy is ‘n agterspeler gewees, nie ‘n voorspeler nie !
Oor so tien jaar gaan hierdie ou skryf:
“The Stormers have always had excellent backline players (Joe P, Habana, Fourie, Andries Bekker, come to mind right away)”
