    Yeah , yeah Saintie, thats how it is , the fact is they blew a great chance, that would have moved them from the bottom dwellers league.

    The Saint

    😆

    The Cheetahs were there for the picking and got plucked. The reds are playing good rugby and after some bad play from the Reds they still managed to win.
    Anyways this the reds my team last night won…Brumbies!!

    Next time dont tip against my team!!

    With the exception of Goode, this is the best Sharks team that Plumtree could pick. If Ruan was at 10 and Fairydust at 9…I would even have rated them.

    35,problem is they Cheetahs have no depth and they have lost 3 very good players and there captain could not play for personal reasons. Does anybody know what these personal reasons were?

    I have never declared my team to be the Great ones, never said they were going to win the S14, I chose to remain quietly confident of at least a good showing.

    You can check up on me, I never bragged because I don’t wanna jinx them.

    Smith het gister aan Sport24 bevestig sy pa is weens hart- en nierprobleme in ’n ernstige toestand in ’n Bloemfonteinse hospitaal opgeneem.

    “Ons hoop en vertrou net op die Here,” is al wat ’n hartseer Smith per SMS laat weet het.

    Saint,I believe in my team.if I dont who will 🙂 Fair enough,but a problem with Stormers supporters is that they have big mouths at the moment,Sharks are out of the Super 14,Bulls have won 5 from 5 and are still not making big statements..
