Feck feck feck feck 😡 not happy
Force winssssssssssssssssssssss!!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
62; Solank die Bulle nou net wen more, is ons weer bo op log. Goeie naweek vir die Bulle so ver, hul moet net nie die Leeus lig opvat nie.
Now the Bulls need to win…. and win well.
Bulls and Stormers can take the Saders in SA!
OK, Brumbies need to take the Tahs next…. I hope.
If the Tahs win, all of this suits them down to the ground!
ZERO from 3 for me on Bru….. haahahahahaha
Well I missed the whole of this game, only got a bit in the end. Who would have thought the Force would beat the Saders? 😯 😯
Bulls and Stormers are well in now for sure.
Sorry Rugby Princess. I for one never saw this coming. Your team have a hard tour here to SA after this game.
66 – gbs, ME TOO….hehehe. My bru down in the shoot this week.
A-farking-mazing!
Wat is die moontlikheid dat ons vir die eerste keer in jare nie ‘n NZ span sien in die semi’s nie ?
Kyk, as Sharks nog more die Blues ook wen, dan gaan die NZ’ers baie depressief raak ! As die Blues net meer stabiel kan raak, lyk hul vir my na ‘n baie gevaarlikers span as die Saders.
70@ BiDiBiDi – Ja hel, dis nou belangrik dat die Sharks wen…. die Blues kan nou maklik in sneak ten koste van een van die Bulls, Stormers of Saders
OK, ek gaan gou Kliente help, hier naby….
By the Way, Gooooooooooooo Cheetahs Vodacom Span….. looi die Lions!
Move over Richie Maccaw here come David Pocock!!
You have now been replaced!!
this is a brilliant result for the SA teams
sorry walla he was replaced last year already
brussow is the best 6 around right now , well when not injured 😆
74 – Walla not too sure, but I will still buy you a beer 😀
74 – Pocock still has to face Botes who is playing some brilliant rugga at the moment. Not the best in the S14 but still a very good player.
Brussow still the best at fetching. With the Stormers Burger not doing all the fetching this year. More so their 7. Sharks have Botes and Deysel they both fetch. Botes more so but Deysel does a fair amount of work.
Still watch the Stormers next week they will bounce back at Newlands.
Okay I am off. Huge thunderstorm in Joburg.
yup puma big storm brewing
old skoppie on keo yesterday was trashing the bulls as fairies anduseless and blah blah blah
and how the stormers are the greatest and gonna murder the reds hehehehehehe

oh, its

i can see that far way look in your eyes
Very good results for the Bulls so far. Just five points against the Lions now and we are all set for a great last stretch, with 5 points ahead off all other teams, for in case we slip, which I doubt.
I am almost always a supporter of SA sides, but lets be eerlik, Ek was so klein bietjie bly oor die stormers se uitslag, bietjie baie windgat geraak die laaste week. Ewe skielik die vaandel draers geword van Suid Afrika, die manne wat die pas aan gee in die Super 14.
lol chosen one
