OK, I’m off to the shops to get much needed stock… Kameeltjies are running out man… and I’m galla-gallaing for billies.
In the meantime… Goooooooooo Stormers!
Go Stormers!! Niks minder as ‘n bonuspunt wen vandag nie!!
KP jy weer daar besig om Nuweland leeg te drink
Hello manne.
Sharks were very unlucky today. Go Stormers. But the big one for me today will be Cheetahs vs Hurricanes. Bulls need some assistance to stay at the top of the log.
Vrystaaaaat!!!
Chiefs Reds, what an upset. But good for the Bulls.
Rugbybal wouldnt it be great to stay on top without a sweat.
@5 Dag SuperBul
Dit sal great wees. Die NZ ders hier is stom oor die tipe game wat die Bulls na die tafel bring. Dit is lekker om die Bulls bo te sien. Die dominerende Saders se dae is getel. Ek kan gewoond raak daaraan.
Good day gents from Newlands rugby stand.
Fine day without any wind as could be seen on TV I’m sure.
For the uninformed, WP Vodacom just beat Sharks Vodacom by 26-23.
Die Crusaders moet net soos vanmore try teen ons speel, hulle sal tweede kom. Blues is eintlik n regte dobbelsteen jy weet nooit op watter kan hy gaan val nie.
Dis lekker om ‘n Bul te wees…. maar vandag ondersteun ons ons SA makkers… Go Stormpoppies, Go Tjieters!!
(Sê ekke terwyl en met my Bulls-hemp aan sit)
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Good luck to the Stormpies!
7@ Isigidi – Mirrag bergballas… is jy reg vir die dinge?
I hear the fellas from NZ TV said the Stormers don’t have a decent tight five and that they would suffer in this department. We’ll have to see as the Stormers in weight alonde today average 114 kg per player in the pack. 911 kg for total pack. With ferm terra under the boot, like today, a big pack will be an advantage for sure.
Haai Isi, hoop nie dis die verkeerde game wat julle gewen het nie. Hoop daar is nog n wen op Nuweland oor vir julle. Sterkte met die Stormers, Sharks is amper deurgedra deur al ons support hier op Rugby-Talk. Ons staan gereed om julle te cheer.
GOOOOO Stormerrrrrrrrrrrsss
I am sure the Stormers supporters have this one ticked down as ‘ must and propable win. It would be a huge setback for the Stormers campaign should they loose today imo.
Huge pressure today to ensure they go back onto a confidence track. Very important game indeed.
Habana to score a hat trick
Ek sien nie vir Tiaan Liebenberg opwarm saam ander ouens en sien Shimange tussen die spelers. Sal huge setback wees as hy nie speel nie. Hoop ek is verkeerd.
Rugbybal I will not be surprised if its gonna be a tight game. Close to malls and close in at the rucks. Like I said, the field is in amazing condition and good running rugby is very possible on this service.
GOOD LUCK STORMERS. TO all my Stormer mates here all the best for the game today. GO GET EM AND GET THE 5 POINTS TOO.
Especially to our favourite Stormer supporter here Ash, Good luck to your team.
Deon Fourie is ‘n goeie haker…
14
Julle better goed wen ek het julle met 21 gepick , hoogste , so enigiets meer as 21 is reg
@17
All the new combinations are just not firing yet in the Stormers side. Beware when it all comes together. Juan de Jongh, what a talent.
18@ Puma – Poor old Asbak is probably chewing his nails… otherwise he is probably already well “onder die prop”…. hehehehe
Landers !
gaan pak kry ! 😉
7 – Isi, I just caught the tail end of that game. Sharks were just plain stupid not to take the penalty and make a draw there. 🙄 Not sure what they were thinking.
Anyhow good LUCK STORMERS GO GET EM. Good luck and maybe also the 5 points that would be very nice.
22: mens kan nie jou naels kou as jy nie tanne het nie !
I chose the Stormpoppies by 11 on SuperBru and with 33 / 22 on R-T SportsPool
22 – GBS, I really, really enjoy Ash here. He has a magnificent sense of humour and one fantastic guy.
26@ BiDiBiDi – O gaats, ja… jy’s reg…. dan suig hy seker maar sy vingers….
Ek sal maar vanmiddag maak wat die WP ondersteuners die afgelope 10 jaar doen: hulle skree vir die Bokke omdat daar 1 WP speler in die span is.
Ek sal maar vir die Stormers skree omdat daar een Bul in is !
