151 – Karen was not sure with Blues and Stormers. Only after I went with Blues thought I made a mistake. Just kept on thinking how good Blues played last week.
Anyhow just want the Stormers to win, not worried about my bru rather see the saffa side win here anyday.
Ash, are the Stormers just so good this weekend or were the Bulls just so kak?
Maar, kerels daar is nog baie tyd…
Great kick Grant !!
Morning Winston.
The confidence they put into Grant is paying off
Blues forwards played a lot better last week imo, but the Bulls were also kak !!!
When will Aplon learn that he is not a battering ram?
