4man….Lifeguard….Mmmmmm, Pretoria girls have great taste I hear!! 🙂
237 – 4man, I think it is because of the changes. Goode coming off Ruan going to FH. Makes a difference for the FB. That pass by Kockott went to ground actually, well looked like that to me. Don’t think Lambie missed that one.
He is young very, very talented can only get better from here. A bright future. If he does not eventually become a Bok I will be very surprised. We will then lose another great to where ever. Like Barritt.
233 – 4man, I am similar……. and to watch in the morning with coffee!! Not the same.
Puma – I only saw the last 10 mins of the game, so glad John did well….Perhaps he has read what Grant has been saying!!
Must continue the dog chat later…..I have to ‘fly’ now, hope to be back for the Bulls game.
Cheers all, have a wonderful day.
215 – Super, Thanks. I will be a Bull later too 😛
Okay off to the Tahs thread now.
244 – BB, If he read what he had being saying he would have been down and out. You can never read things like that and be positive. Terrible for a saffa to be slaying on of their own, really terrible. Hope he can see how important Smit is for us. Once he came back on the field we got it together again.
Cheers BB. Catch up with us during the Bulls game.
