53. Hi Puma,how are you doing this morning? I was in the land of nod during the Bulls game, very disappointed to see the final score though!
So pleased that Milo is slightly better than hot chocolate…you know how we worry!! 🙂
60 bdb – That was my worry!! I think the webmonster can track this!!!
61 – BB, They needed your support, have to get up early for these games. Milo here is supposed to be a health drink. Still has sugar though 🙄
Don’t worry, it is not the Dreaded One…. it is a Different One, a much Better One
58 – Bluebeard, Yes I rate Potties a lot, not sure why he was subbed or for that matter Botha? Game turned when both went off.
Hope Bulls look at the Chiefs game and are ready next week. Don’t rate this Chiefs team much so thinking Bulls should pick up a win next week.
Chiefs 27 / 21
58 – Bluebeard, Potties is actually superb on defence and attack, reminds me of a younger S. Burger. Should never sub unless have too. The whole team changes once that happens.
Okay back to tv.
Het gisteraand vinnig gaan loer daar by die ‘dark side’. Kon nie 5 boodskappel lees nie, toe is dit weer godslastering net waar jy kyk, gemeng met die politiekery.
Nee wat, dit is soos om so nou en dan deur JHB se verkeer te ry, en opnuut te waardeer jy bly nou op die platteland !
Moet sê ou Xkreni-WP nie byt nog steeds vas daar, gee hul nog steeds gas. Ek het lekker gelag vir ‘n paar van sy opmerkings.
GBS.
Ek kry n HTP 500 error as ek wil inlog by Sportspool.
Help asb.
63 Puma, don’t give me a hard time, I was posting on the Bulls thread at 2.24am!! I need some sleep…. 😉
58@ Seerower – Die minuut toe Potties gesub word toe sê ek op die blog dis ‘n moooooosa fout, Wannenburg se dae is verby.
Ek sou ook begin met Flip van der Merwe, soos in die eerste 3 weke….
Bulls moet nou teruggaan na basics….
64 – GBS – 😉
70 @ Pille – Ek weet, ek dink hulle server is af… sal nou weer bel, het netnou voor hierdie game probeer bel.
74. GBS
Ok dankie, gedink so iets. Sal my leer om my picks vroeg te maak deur die week.
2 minutes left… Chiefs so far without bonus point…
Nog ‘n gelykop uitslag hier sou party ander spanne soos n handskoen gepas het.
71 – Blue Bird, That was before the game….hehehe. Need to post during the game. 😉
Wonder where Irish is? Have not seen him around for awhile.
76 – If this scoreline holds I am SPOT ON….Will help to erase the pain of the Bulls loss!!
Chiefs win by 6… Chiefs 27 / 21
No bonus point for tries
Puma, I have not spoken to Irish for a while, probably time to drop the wee Leprechaun a line!
OK point taken about my sleeping, I will try harder!!
Nou is die pressure van die Chiefs af vir ‘n wen, sal dit nou rustiger vat teen die Bulls. Ek hoop so.
Landers uit, Chiefs nog daar.
Nou vir die Ctahs, kan hul vir ‘n verassing sorg ?
Tahs met bonuspunt wen, en meer as 12, dan skuif hul die Bulle af, maar hul het een meer wedstryd dan gespeel.
82: dink hulle sal wil wraak neem vir laasjaar se pakslae wat hul gekry het in die finaal. Hoop net die Bulle daag op vir hierdie wedstryd.
Bulls should beat the Chiefs. Not so impressed by them this year. Stormers should beat them too. Though saying that it is always difficult to beat a kiwi side in NZ.
81 – Blue Bird, Yeah tell Irish we were asking where he is?
OK, Waratahs and Cheetahs thread is up, let’s mosey on over there…. MOOOOOOOO !
En Tahs het klaar getoer. Maar na die Cheetahs geen maklikes oor nie.
Thank you Puma.
Pille, as jy nog aanlyn is… Die SportsPool server is af, Telkom werk aan hulle lyne en die Webmaster sit langs die Vaalrivier.
Mail my jou picks, ek sl sorg dat hy dit later add, al is die games gelock!
