    151 – GBS, Thanks thought maybe my decoder was going. Everytime had to replace a decoder when that started to happen. Only the other channels were fine. So think it was the link from NZ.

  • 154

    152: More, dink dit is die eerste gelykop van hierdie seisoen.

  • 155

    152 – Howzit Blouste, Don’t think anyone said a draw so do we get a point…..hehehehe.

  • 156

    153: Puma, dit help ook as jy nie elke keer die TV omstamp as jy opstaan nie, dan maak hy nie al daardie ‘fussy’ goeters nie.

    Trek jou pens in as jy weer opstaan om yskas toe te loop !

    154 – BdB, Yip it was.

    Now need Stormers to beat the Force later. Also hoping the Sharks can beat the Reds. Reds could easy make the semi.

    153@ Puma – Must have been the NZ feed to SA, SS1 is fine now.

  • 159

    Sharks need to take the Reds out of the equasion and serious contention for the rest of SA!

  • 160

    156 – BdB 😆 😆

  • 161

    Jeez guys, these public holidays screws my internal clock… don’t know what to do with myself…
    Everything is confusiasious 😕

  • 162

    Flok, dis refte muf weer vandag…. pannekoek- en teelweer!

  • 163

    158 – GBS, Ja just checked all fine and ready for the Stormers/Force game. Hate to watch when it is all fuzzy.

    159 – GBS, Well hoping Sharks have the players to do it but we seem to win away from home…..hehehehe. Serious though Reds are a really good team this year and they have a great coach. On their day they can beat any team. Looking really good. So hope Sharks can do their brothers a favour and beat the Reds and Blues.

  • 164

    BMW weer… 😉

  • 165

    Reds though have some very tough games coming up after they play the Sharks, they still to face, Bulls,Stormers,rumbies and CAnes. They should beat Landers and probably the Lions. Hope Lions get their first win against them next week. That would be great.

  • 166

    Yes Puma…

    It’s your turn to do us a favour…
    I mean, we have already loaned you a lock… 😆

  • 167

    162 – gbs, I am enjoying this weather. Need this rain, cause after, think the dry weather will start and that is very long without rain.

  • 168

    Ek wonder of die Stormers se verdediging weer so goed gaan hou.

  • 169

    Dink nie die Ctahs kan Tahs op hul tuisveld wen nie, maar dit sal waardeer word as hul ‘n goeie ‘fight’ opsit en tenminste die bonuspunt keer.

  • 170

    Just looking at the log, Blues could make it. They have Cheetahs, Force and Lions to play. Probably will pick up points there.

    Tough games still against the, Bulls, Stormers, Sharks and Chiefs. Hope Sharks can beat them at home. Think they have a really good chance to knock a top team out. Also the Chiefs. Chiefs though have 5 tough games to play against top sides. Think they might beat the Cheetahs on their home turf.

  • 171

    bdb – Wonder of die Cheetahs tans die Leeus kan wen 🙁

  • 172

    168: met die stormers wat so goed verdedig, en die force wat nie kan drieë druk nie, sal die telling laag wees.

  • 173

    166 – I know, but if you loan us JLP we will do it for sure…. 😆 Think it is worth it hey!!!!

  • 174

    What do you guys reckon are the Bulls chances of going through the season unbeaten…?

  • 175

    171: geluk aan die Leeus wat hierdie naweek definitief nie gaan verloor nie !

  • 176

    174 he he he…

    You guys still want him there on Absa Park after last years CC semi… 😆

    Can’t beat them, join them…?

  • 177

    174@ Blouste – Chances are marginal, at best!

  • 178

    gbs

    As long as there’s a chance…I’m happy 😉

  • 179

    Pierre Spies 9snr0 scored 6 tries for the Bulls in 1975 against….wait for it…

    Israel 😯

    Blouste ek wonder wat in hul koppe aangaan, die dam ding moet net nie hul denke en konsentrasie beinvloed nie.
