    Stormers played the best rugby of the weekend possibly the tournement so far, am now going to watch a bit of round ball, chelsea/tottenham then Saracens play cant remember who.

    bdb i assume groen beweging is me, firstly what is beweging.

    He was just so modest and said how we didnt play well in the beginning and put the blame on himself and the team and how every game is a final for us when asked if we were trying fo the semis, along that vein.

    There was so many good players today and yesterday one would be excused if you think we can rebuild a complete Springbok team. All i say it is still about 2 moths before the first test side will be picked. Bedaar manne, die ervare Bokke is dalk oorskadu die naweek, maar watch hul comeback.

    bdb 217 Deysel is like an adorable rotweiller puppy :mrgreen:

  • 222

    219: beweging = movement = green peace, but I know, you do not like them, I am only teasing.

    220; gaan so bietjie daar op die Bulle draad gesels oor die pad vorentoe vir die Bulle.

  • 226

    Oh me, oh my – Bulls lost and look at the Sharks so nearly lost too…..and I missed it all!!

  • 227

    224 – Treehugs, Night. Was watching the interviews. Hope next week it is not that close. Though the Blues will be a lot tougher. Well maybe these derby games are always very tough.

  • 228

    226 – Blue Bird, Hi how you doing? Well we won….hehehe With our first 4 try bonus too. SA derby games are very tough.

  • 229

    Hi Puma….Yes well done, I have to go out so will have to catch up on the gossip here late tonight or tomorrow before I go to work AGAIN tomorrow.

    See ya.

    229 – Blue Bird, Why are you working on a SUNDAY?????? NO that is not right. You should be putting your feet up…..hehehe.

    Enjoy your evening.

    Sharky, If you read this, hope you enjoyed the game at Ellis Park. That was heart stopping stuff again from our team. At least we got the 5 points. Now really need to up our game against the Blues next week.

    I feel we should start with Hargreaves and let Muller sit on the bench. Pleased that Deysel got mom too.

  • 232

    Hi all. That was a great match. Think Spencer at full back is the answer for the Lions,they played with real heart today which was pleasing but we got our 5 points so I am stoked 🙂 As much as I like Kanko our back 3 was awesome with Alberts and Deysel,they are the 2 hard men of South African rugby..
