Sharky
Yes, Kanko is no slouch either.
Old Qua will remember is dad, EP winger Tino Kankowski, 1974-1976.
P3 is going to get blown for offside.

😯
1/2 time
Miss, poor kick, faark me McGyver…..time for another cold one.
Lemoenetyd, with Morné missing an easy penalty.
what kind of kick was that???
Wat drink julle, want ek suippppppppp!
Pietman @ 128 – yep, I remember his Dad.
Sharky 143 – what happened to that ball in mid air? It did strange things.
Morne just not kicking well on tour. Damn hope that 3 points don’t cost.
Bulls need to keep possession. The tackling is going to tire them far, far too much in the 2nd half. So far it has mostly been all Reds.
NOW GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BULLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSS. Turn it around in the 2nd half. Hoping.
OldQua@145
Thought you would. Also the other EP wingers of that time, “Tossie” (Carel) Fourie, Doug (“Judge”)Jeffrey(SA 200m champ),and of course the legendary Cheeky Watson 🙂
Things are definitely on the up in Aus rugby at present (at this level). Tri Nations will be interesting, but I think Robbie Deans has his eyes focused on next year’s RWC. Don’t be surprised to see a conservative style of play from Deans in the tri nations.
Bulls need to tighten up and that will be the word at half time, whereas Reds will be making lots of substitutions just after half time, they can’t keep going at this pace.
fourie dupreez has been shocking
desicion making very poor
should pass the dame ball better and also pass , he cost the bulls a try
