    Dink hul moet ‘n reël maak dat al die oorsese spanne wat teen die Ctahs speel, met blou truie speel, dan gaan Ctahs elke wedstryd goed wen !

    63 – Super, I know English is my language but Stransky IS TERRIBLE, JUST REALLY, REALLY TERRIBLE as a commentator. SO IS BOB SKINSTADT. BOTH drive me almost insane………hahahaha. I HAVE now tired over and over to get the Afrikaans commentary but nothing and don’t want to lose the signal again. Lost the first half of the Stormers game. Then think that was Eskom as it all went out.

    Jeeeeeeeeez, Staat escapes… just, just

  • 71

    Great defence!

  • 72

    67 – GBS, Oh very much so, YES!!! they can. Think positive boeta.

  • 73

    69: ek vergewe vir ou Stransky vir alles, omdat hy so mooi geskep skop het in 1995 !

  • 74

    We need the ball.

  • 75

    Puma i wish one day they will have a channel without commentary, only the sounds and maybe the refs microphone. I will then make up my own mind and not distracted by the nonsense they try and tell us.

  • 76

    One MUST play IN the Canes faces…. put a huge amount of pressure on

  • 77

    knock on Canes. Slow it down just a little Cheetahs. Seems only the kiwis don’t tire at altitude. Why have not a clue. Just keep the discipline now Cheetahs and they could keep these Canes under pressure.

    En moenie Stransky se 22 punte in die openingswedstryd 1995 teen Oz op Nuweland vergeet nie….

  • 83

    Yellow card, it must be,

  • 84

    75 – Super, I grew up in in a era where we had the best commentary. Only 2nd to the very great Bill McLaren. I always listened to the Afrikaans commentary. It was of a very high standard. Those days we never had tv and everything we heard was on radio. We sat in a huge circle. My Pa and all his friends my friends and the radio was placed on the ground. That was just aweseome the commentary we could almost picture every move.

    Nothing like that these days and those commentators had a sense of humour too. Was a pleasure to listen to them even if my afrikaans was never very good I could always understand rugby though 😀

  • 85

    Nonu offfffffffffffffffffffffffff

  • 86

    Boorvat deur Nonu…. Nonu GEELLLLLL!

  • 87

    ten minste 3 weke geskors word vir daardie een, soos Stegmann laasjaar.

  • 88

    Nou moer die Staters hulle!

  • 89

    Super, I do like Murray Mexted. He is very good to listen too. Good sense of humour too. I like a bit of that in the commentary. BUT NOTHING will ever replace the “VOICE OF RUGBY” The great Bill McLaren. Only he could describe rugby in the most beautiful way with a great sense of humour.

    I have always missed his commentary.
