Fair enough. Need a sugar rush to get the day going..
Daai rooi stywe broek onder die broek van goode lyk rerig k*k.
118@ Onerb – Ontleed Walsh vir ons mooi, mail my die stuk, ek sal hom plaas met volle krediet aan jou… hoe lyk dit?
What did Uncle John Plum say to the boys at half time??? They are taking the game up now.
I see J Dub has only been involved in one scuffle so far. Very disciplined by his standards.
118 – Onerb, Walsh is useless. Only two good refs in the whole tourney is Kapland and Mark Lawrence. So far this kiwi refs is not too bad.
Lambie is going to be a great player. Only 19 years old.
123 aye eye captain. Will have it on your desk this afternoon.

Ek dink nie Walsh was so sleg nie, inteendeel, as dit nie vir hom was nie, het die Hurricanes vanoggend met smiles opgestaan.
The chap blowing now is not too bad. Very consistant.
125. I think he’s finally got it into his thick skull its not a boxing match. How did this man qualify as a doctor?
127@ Onerb – Fanks tjomma… dis sal mooooooosa wees!
How did the Highlanders not score there?
Sharks 10 / 9
10-9,we should be killing these clowns..
In any case, the Bulls can hardly blame the ref for something most of us predicted would happen.
Just giving it away 10/9 Sharks. Need to keep the discipline.
Go for posts boys.
Is this within Kockett’s range?
Pienaar kicking and it is OVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER!
Top kick Ruan.. World class 🙂
IF, and I repeat IF there is a rift in the Sharks squad, I’d wager anything the Dup bros. are behind it. Rumour is the Melbourne Rebels had talks with the two of them…
Phew!!!!!!! almost close my eyes when Ruan takes the kicks. Nice one Ruan. Keep em going over.
13/9 Sharks
128@ Saint – Nee flok tjom, ALMAL in die Press Box…. The Citizen, Pretoria News, SAPA, Rapport, SuperSport… ALMAL het gedink Walsh is terug op die bottel!
Why isn’t Goode taking the kicks? He did brilliantly last time round?
Mextead must be pissed. Where is Hugh Bladen?
144- Saint, he is not on the field.
Another kickable penalty.
#143
Ek het die game nou nie met my Blou Bril op gekyk nie, maar ek voel van die 50/50 calls het na die Bulls toe ook gegaan.
Selfs jy het geweet hierdie str#nt wat die Bulls verdediging noem gaan hulle byt. Eerder dat dit op Loftus gebeur as byvoorbeeld op Carisbrook
Sorry, ek het net gou 2 Jovie’s by die hek gehad…. hulle moeie rondloop innie rugby nie, die mense sal hulle bliksem!
141 – Saint buddy, where have you been?…..hehehe. That is old news. We all heard it last week already. Think the Dup brothers are off to the Rebels next year.
Aussies commentators said so in last weeks game too.
Heard that Jannie wants to continue with his Dr. career in Melbourne too. So of course brother will want to go there too.
