This game lost its zip in the 2nd half, when all the subs came on.
Morning GBS, Super and Old Griquas,
Only turned on the tv now. Thought this game was going to be on at 1pm. So missed almost the whole game.
Reds are doing well this year.
I think as Bull I am going to support the Cheatas and maybe we can have 3 teams in the semi
Reds 50 / 10
G’day Puma, mate. Reds 50/10, 2 mins to go; Genia is a gem!!!
Hope you’ve recovered okay after last night’s outcome??
Looks like this will be a 40-point winning margin

65 – Hi Old Griquas, Reds are looking good this year. Big score that.
Will be interesting to see how the Reds perform in RSA, and also how Genia goes against the best in the world.
I suppose GBS has just finished breakfast??
I’m about to tuck into a nice big fresh whole schnapper, baked on the BBQ in chilli, ginger, etc, etc, washed down with a nice little chardonnay. YUM!
I’m outta here. Bonjour all.
65 – Old Griquas, Still have not seen the Sharks game. Took my neighbours to the airport, they left for a holiday to Mauritius.
Very close game,not really sure how the Sharks played. Will watch it later. Close game it looked like, probably would have given me heart failure to watch…..hahahaha.
My team just not doing it this year mate. Pity really as they do have some very good players.
Bulls and Stormers are playing very well this year.
Hey Puma, Reds look good alright. I like the quality service from Genia; the outside backs are having a ball with the extra time and space he affords them. Cooper is also playing well. Ewen McKenzie must be loving it . . .
What have you got planned for today, Puma, anything exciting??
70 – Old Griquas, That sounds great, enjoy it mate.
We had big LM prawns on the braai last night also with a good chardonnay. I myself more enjoy red wine more, but with seafood do enjoy the good white wines.
Enjoy it.
It seems a trend first the goats and now the Reds finally getting their act together. If only the Kitty Kats would do the same…
72 – Old Griquas, Nothing much. Still hot here in Joburg. Probably just have a swim in my pool and watch the game against the Brumbies and Sharks that I missed yesterday.
Thanks mate, I also prefer the reds, particularly a good merlot, but this schnapper needs a chardonnay, and I’m into it.
Catch you later my maat!
72 – Old Griquas, Sharks play Reds at the Tank. I will be back in Umhlanga then so may go to the game.
Just hope my team starts to play better rugby. Reds are really doing well this year. Beat some of the top teams too.
Never saw much of this game only the last 9 min. Thought it was going to be on at 1pm.
Having a braai here at out place today…. and just generally going to chill.
Check, my Bulls match report is out…..
76 – Cheers Old Griquas,
Look in on after Tuesday night. Super puts up the new article here about the 1970 ABs tour to SA. Good read that.
Anyhow enjoy mate. Catch up with you next week.
Puma watch it after your Sharks game, the Reds are playing good rugby.
74 – Airwell, It is good to see Stormers back and playing good rugby again. Also the Reds as I think Brisbane is rugby country in Australia. So really good to see both teams playing superb this year.
80 – Super, Will do. Thought the Reds game was on at 1pm so missed it all except the last 9min. They going to beat some top teams I think. Well they already have. Good for them good to see the teams that were on the bottom now on the up and playing good rugby.
Cheers all back later. Enjoy your day.
Gosh, the summer is never ending. Really warm in Joburg still.
