Snoek, It has just started to rain here where I live in 4ways. Think the Bulls/Lions game going to be played in rain. Think that field will be the worse for it after today.
6-0 sharks
sharks playing well so far
Just looked at the temps. 10 night 13 day for Joburg. Durbs 15 night and 23 day. So it will be a lot cooler for the game at 5pm. Would have suited us for it to be hotter as the Blues might not have handled the hot weather. Cooler weather will suit them.
yup [uma its a soup and bed day alright 😆
try sharks , could be 16 nil now
14 -0
Nice try Sharks. 14/0 Sharks.
