57 – Saint, they are firing everywhere in every position. Awesome to watch a team when they are doing that. Superb rugby. Going to be a cracker against the Reds next week.
Try Giteau
Wie moet wen hier kêrels, die kerrie en borrie geel span ?
GBS kan ek maar weer 13 Stormers in my team of the weekend sit? Want ek dink ek het nou 14…
GBS @ 58 – Excellent! Thanks mate, I’ve tried to work out the spelling for years – many thanks. Vinnig, you bewdy – opposite: staadag???? (slowly??)
60 – Old Griquas, You make me envious…hehehe. I love it by the ocean and with a glass of good wine in hand watching the rugby, don’t come better than that.
I will be in my Umhlanga home from June though. Cant wait.
TRY Gits, nice one.

Canes 13 / 10
55; het hul 2 punte afgetrek by die Brumbies ?
67: so jy gaan ook more dan kyk ? 😉
65@ Oldie – It’s “stadig”
We’ll get your Afrikaans back up to speed, quickly…. hehehehe
#70 bididi
Hoekom speel Maties?
64 @ Saint – Hierdie slag MAG jy maar Bekker insit….
GBS @ 71 – excellent, stadig, many thanks mate. I’d like to tell you online the first words Gawie Visagie taught me at a cocktail party somewhere around midnight in Port Elizabeth! However, I’ll keep that for when we all enjoy a beer together in RSA soon . . .
Huia Edmonds gets a yellow
GBS
Daai man gaan nog diep spore trap in SA rugby. Hy het vandag gehol, gemaul, geruck, getackle, ge-sidestep, gedruk, ge-turnover en ge-afgestamp…die flok weet, as jy 5 sulke spelers in jou span kry, wat het jy nog nodig?
Canes 16 / 10
76@ Saint – Fourie du Preez en Morne Steyn…. hehehehe
76: Schalk Burger is weer wereldgehalte, en wie moet ons bedank: Loekie wat weg is !
Tussen Bekker en Burger voor, en Fourie en Habana agter, het jul goeie ‘gamebreakers’ om die finaal te haal. Moes bietjie gaan inkopies doen, maar dit lyk goed vir julle span.
76@ Saint – Gio GifAppeltjie en Schalla was ook uitstekend…

As daai twee op mekaar se skouers staan kan hulle nie bykom waar Bekker vandag was nie, toegegee, elke ou het ‘n game waarin alles vir hom werk, vandag was Bekker s’n. Ou Naas Botha se op SuperSport Bekker has taken lock-play to a whole new level.
GBS, sonder om arrogant te wees, het Matfield al OOIT SO ‘n game gehad?
Tryyyyyyyyyy Victor Vito, under the sticks!!
Can tell you Bulls and Stormer supporters, that game on the 15 against Stormers and Bulls is going to be a cracker. Really looking forward to it. Especially if both are playing to hold a final. Now that will be pressure….hehe. I put up my feet up, relax and enjoy…hehehe. While you lot the nerves will be going pit a patter all the way.
Canes moet met bonuspunt wen om in te bly.
#79
Ek moet herhaal, ek is NIE ‘n Habana fan nie…maar ja, dinge werk uit. Mens moet net namens Puke se, die Stormers het geleer maul terwyl hy kaptein was, onthou dit net, gee krediet waar dit toekom…
Canes 23 / 13
My Superbru is kak, maar hierdie is goeie nuus vir die Stormers en Bulls…
82: kom ons wag en kyk wat gebeur as hulle teen mekaar speel.
82@ Saint – Matfield het al vele games gahad waar hy die oorsaak van die wen was, vir beide die Bulls en Bokke.
Sien wat ek bedoel dat julle Stormpoppie-ondersteuners een-ogig is….. oi, mens kan julle nêrens heen vat nie, nie eers na ‘n hondeskou toe nie, julle sal 1ste prys wen, vir “dog and owner look-alike”!
