    182 – Fires, Howzit not too sure. Hong Kong ask GBS.

    See on Reunion last night the kiwi commentators not happy with the ref for the Sharks/Canes game. They have their doubts about him.

    Who is reffing our game tomorrow? Also heard Mexted during the Lions game saying a similar thing about the ref for our game tomorrow. So hope the 50/50 calls goes our way 😀

    Puma,

    I’m guessing it’s an ozzie ref……need to get NH refs instead of these ozzies, and instead of some if not most of the kiwis.

    Great weather here, saw a bunch of WP boys at the wifes’ shop yesterday, we are in the middle of the ‘festive season’, lobster festival and what not, great weather.
    My little village has run out of parking space, many foreign cars pouring into town.

    Lions have to accumulate as many bonus points as they can,.

    The match against the Force at the Coke Blik on 1 May could be the decider for the houtlepel.
