120: wanneer het hul gespeel, het ek dit gemis, wat het gebeur ?
Next Bok 15 is Lambie! What a talent!
And I thought Jonny Wilkinson did funny things with his hands…What’s with Coopers arm ‘thing’?
120@ Johan Fourie – One only mourns the dead…. the Bulls are still alive and well… even though they lost today
121… Ook net gehoor, maar glo in 2010?
Goode is playing better today.
Reds, soos die Blues vanoggend, doen al die speel werk. Sharks, soos die Bulle vanoggend, doen al die verdedigingswerk.
124… Waar. Dit moes kom. Volgende week sal beter gaan.
116 – Loosehead, Percy never wrote , never phoned…..I had to give up!!
Not for want of trying though!! 🙁
It is nice to see Kings Park fullish today.
129 BB, he is such a bitch!
Ek het vroeer gese ek was bang vir Joubert. Hy wou impress daar in NZ, wys hy is neutraal. Gevaar is, jy kan dan verkeerd na die game kyk.
125: hehehe, ja, was nie ons dag nie, Blues het ons die blues gegee op die dag.
124: spoken like a poet ! Op die lang termyn het ons gewen, al het ons vandag verloor.
Big scrum for the Sharks.
Has anyone told Bismark that there are new rules regarding the tackle?
Raas ons Kaptein daar met Strafskop du Plessis.
131. I gave him every chance too…His loss hey!! 😉
Cambridge looking strong on the Thames today! Still close 3 mins to go.
John Smit is playing well.
What a pity the Sharks have no pace out wide with that turn over..
Think Kanko may have dislocated a finger there
Try Reds.
Try Chambers
Sharks are allowing the Reds far too much possession.
As much as he irritates me this Cooper guy is pure class. It never ceases to amaze me how often the Sharks give away tries before half time..
Oh flok, Chambers over the line, just before the break….
AI JA JAI JA JAI!
Oh dear.
Come Sharks,wake up now,lets hold onto the ball..
Reds 14 / 9
Lemoenetyd
Winston
Ditto on Cooper, the youngster is one of the most under-rated #10’s in the the world, imo.
