    Sorry Apoc
    So the unthinkable has happened. I really think for Superbru a guy should make your picks half an hour before kickoff. There are just too many variables to account for and factor in. Anyway,our prayer go with Juan and his family. Now i’m off to get ready for the game.

    25 – GBS, Well that is the Cheetahs hopes gone. But hope that Juan’s dad is fine.

    Now Cheetahs without 4 of their best players. Shame man, they could have beaten the Reds with their full strength side.

    When you said fitness coach, I thought someone around the age of 40!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA That had to come on to play………hahahahaha. Cant help it still laughing my butt off. Okay just dried the tears away…..hehehehe. Still it was very funny. Though if he is a u/21 player he will do fine there. BUT no rugby for 4 years.. Might be tough.
