    Net n mof wat n Semi viri Lions gaan kry.

    Ek meen hul buk dan so baie….

    What a relief – the tahs DO know how to run with the ball. Sydney experiences strong westerly winds, at times, and the winds bring the flies. Palu is complaining that he had a fly in front of him in the first half – he was wearing number 15!
    Shame, Earl is toooo light for the likes of Cliffy.
    My favourite all-time player has been King Carlos: flair, passion, commitment and raw style. The years take effect, but he’s still number one for me.

    Let’s hope the tahs keep the running going in the 2nd half . . .

    Hehe, just kidding. The Sharks is a good team, just having a bad run. It happens.

    Ek het nou net ‘n mail gekry oor dievolgende

    “Proof of the existence of Nephilim. (Greece)

    This is amazing. Not that the scriptures haven’t already proven true, but now more evidence for our times.

    (Genesis talk about the Nephilim, the Giants, Goliath was an example of one.) ”
