    28@ Puma – Me too Puma, I’d actually like to meet him, must be a hoot in real life too!

    Just watched the last 10 min of the Vodacom game. I have no idea why De Waal is not in the Stormers side. He has such a brilliant boot for goals. Wont let the team down at all. I would have had him in the Sharks side anytime.

  • 34

    @Puma I’m sure they needed the try. I’ll check the score again. Ther Aussies outdid themselves today on the cheating front….they have made their name mud all over again…I now want them to get killed in the world cup, I actually thought they were coming along nicely, but now I hope a thousand fleas infest their armpits and crotch…and they grow fish hooks for fingers.

    32 – GBS, Ash has a brilliant sense of humour. I have a big laugh here many days at some of his post. He is so funny sometimes, I really enjoy his posts. I really enjoy people like that a lot. What a fantistic person. Well I feel that just from reading Ash’s posts here.

    SO ASH FROM ALL OF US HERE……………..GOOD LUCK TO YOUR STORMERS BUDDY.

    35: Dink Ash leen sy tjommie langs hom se tanne as dit begin spannend raak.

    33: ENIGE losskakel in SA skolerugby sal deesdae ‘n aanwins wees vir die Sharks. Julle moes vir Hougaard ingebring het, nie vir No-Good-at-all nie.

    34 – 4man, Howzit mate, Yip that ref done us in good and solid today. I have replayed the try before halftime many times. That was never a try and should have been a 5m scrum. Penalty try for sure in the end too. To hear the Aussie commentators saying it was a penalty try and Sharks were very unlucky not to get it. Well that says it all. We were robbed mate. We should have had 14 points on the score board more than the Tahs. Well just have to take it on the chin now. Nothing will change the score. I wish that something could though. Something has to be done about this reffing system. Really, really need to get back to neutral refs. I am just so against this reffing system where you play a team from a country and they have their own ref reffing the game. Even worse coming here and reffing a team from their country against us!!!! THAT will never be right for me not ever. It has to change.

    The Vodacom cup, yip it was only 3 points in it. They were going for the try to win it. Still think in the last min probably should have taken the points.

    Anyhow some really exciting players there. I only saw the last 10min but from what I heard, Sharks should have won that one easy.

    Now why don’t Stormers have De Waal in their team? He is a match winner just with the boot alone.

  • 48

    oops meant get it as in understand

  • 49

    44: nee kyk, nou wil die Stormers verloor met Noki op vleuel.

    55 – 4man, We were totally robbed in the game this morning in Oz against the Tahs. I was angry, you probably read all my frustration on that thread.
