    85 – Fender you must have a very good friend then..LOL. I would never have parted with those tickets. Enjoy it.

    86@ BiDiBiDi – Niks fout met GifAplontjie se defence nie, Joe Pietersen was ook moer goed voor sy besering, jong Lambie is goed maar kort so bietjie meer ondervinding.

    Zane was in die begin van die seisoen nie so goed nie maar steeds solid, nou is hy rooiwarm, kyk hoe het hy die 2 drieë gemaak vir Shaddow en hy is damn veilig agter onder enige balle… en hy tackle ook verwoed…

    Indien Pietersen nie beseer was nie, sou ek hom gekies het (nou weet ons nie wat sy vorm is nie), maar op die oomblik, soos sake NOU staan kies ek ook vir Zane met gemak.

    Puma- the game tomorrow will be a test match, give or take it’s going to be huge..

    A really good friend, Puma and he would’ve been at Newlands tonight, that is until some corporate breakaway weekend caught him offside….eina!!!

  • 96

    86 – bdb, If I could get Frans Steyn back he would be my Bok FB for this year and the wc. Now PdV will always select Zane. Zane is very good and one of our best, but you watch in a years time Lambie going to be our very best ever, if the SHARKS JUST LEAVE him at FB and not mess him about by making him play FH.

    Never seen any player that good under the high ball since A. Joubert. Not ever. Lambie is pure class. Still needs some time at this level, but he has Bok written all over him for the future. A superb talent we found in him this S14. Should have started from the first game against the Chiefs for the Sharks.

    92: groot toets vir Lambie more op Loftus teen FDP en MS se hangskoppe. Jammer Akona is nou uit, hy en Habana het die skoppe perfek opgevolg, Shadow en FH sukkel met die opvolg werk. Shadow is betyds daar (agv van sy spoed), maar dalk te vinnig, hulle side-step hom maklik. Hy moet dalk bietjie terughou sodat hy die speler kan lees, in plaas van met volle spoed op hom afgehardloop kom.

    95 – Fender, well that is luck for you then. Enjoy it. Going to be one of the real big games this weekend. Really looking forward to it.

  • 100

    96: Sal ook vir FS kies as hy beskikbaar is. Lambie se beurt sal kom.

    97: groet jy nie, jou onbeskofte kapenaar !

  • 101

    #99 Thanks Puma. It will be more like a test match than S14 but I’m very happy to be there..

  • 102

    93 – Scrumdown, The Bulls/Sharks games are always huge and in the past few years only a point or 2 in it. Though this year we really don’t have quality centres or FH. Though with those same centres and FH we beat the Blues and Reds that have good centres and FH. So just have to see. Which ever way it goes just hope for a good game and not a run away game like the Sharks lost to the Saders. Think we have improved since that game.

    So looking forward to the game. Going to be huge. Bulls have everything to play for. They win tomorrow think they home and dry for a semi and they win that they will hold the final.

  • 103

    they need to play lambie sooner then later and make sure he is not lost to us

    he has deep scottish roots

  • 104

    puma it was from that game that the sharks team took a look at themselves and started to win

  • 105

    101 – Will be a magnificent atmosphere. My brother and sister live in Fish Hoek and are huge Stormer supporters. Though they both will be watching from home. Not sure why they never go to the games. When I am in Umhlanga I go to the big games at the Tank. Don’t have a season ticket cause for now have been going back and forward from my home in Joburg to my Umhlanga home. From next year hope to get a season ticket. This year would not have anyway with us only getting a few games at the tank.

    Broer, was was jy laas Saterdagaand virre kwaai lag.

    Ek staan innie queue byrie Haga Haga hotel se Saterdagaand Seafood buffet. Voor my staan ‘n stoere boer besig om sy second helping mossels in te skep. Nadat hy so 8 mossels ingeskeppit voel hy die Xhosa chef se oe op hom, en sienie man mossie norigheid om annie chef in Engels te explain hoekom hy nou virrie tweede maal met 8 mossels op se bord sit. Sak die boer mette skaam smaail af, “Your mussels are to die FROM”.

    Ekkit onmiddellik agter ‘n reisslaai ge-duck en ees na so 5 minute gesurface met net so ‘n paar trane wat nog an my oe hang…

    103 – Sharky agree we need to play Lambie in the Bok team very quick otherwise another one off to the UK like Barritt. His father was born in Scotland came here at 14. So he no doubt has a British passport. Think his first choice would be to play for the Boks so hope he does get selected sometime.

    Yes once he played FB against the Landers our fortunes changed and we started winning. Stefan was just kicking too much of our ball away.

    Like I say above. I have never seen anyone that great under the high ball since Andre Joubert. NOT ever. He is just fearless under the high ball. Superb talent that has come out of this S14.

    Last week he was voted best FB on rugby365 out of the whole of the S14 teams. Only 19 years old!!!! Jeepers he can only get better from here.

    #105 Puma,

    Where will you be catching the Sharks’ game tomorrow – at Loftus or at Montecassino again?

  • 109

    108 – Fender, at home. I have tonsillitis, think for the first time ever and now on damn antibiotics. So cant even have a glass of wine..hehe. Actually my surgeon said they need to come out but I am off on holiday in 3 weeks time. So just cant do it yet. So hoping it will just cool down.

    So home bound it will be. Otherwise I might have wanted to see the game at Loftus. Though I hate driving anywhere at night in Joburg or Pretoria. Montecasino only a 5min drive from where I live so that is fine.

    98 – bdb, Lambie will be very good under the high ball. So not really sure if that will be the tactic from Bulls. Well maybe cause we don’t have JPP that is also very good under the high ball. We have Mvovo. Hope his defence is up to it. He does have some really good pace though.

    bdb @ 100
    ve’oggend al gegroet
    😀 jy was natuurlik toe nog besig om jou horing blink te vryf!! 😉

  • 112

    Die span wat hierdie een verloor, gaan moeilik ‘n tuissemi kry. Stormers moenie hul goeie kanse verspeel nie. As die Reds en Sharks dan ook nog more wen, dan gaan daar baie groot druk wees, want dan is daar nog Sharks in Durbs en Bulle. En, as daar nou een wedstryd is waarvoor die Bulle nooit gemotiveer hoef te word nie, is dit die Noord vs Suid derbys.

    Vanaand is ‘n grote vir altwee spanne se S14 veldtog. Hierdie Saders span moet NOU uitgehaal word.

    fender @ 106
    jy ka’ ma’ sê it was gbs gewies!! 😆

  • 114

    Ag FOKKKKKK all the Tjarkies want to cream their panties about the Lambie kid who has not even blunted his first razorblade…

    Moenie die mannetjie te vroeg ryp probeer druk vir die Bokke nie man, hy suig nog aan sy ma se tietties…. en sy is seker nog self ‘n skooldogter

  • 115

    113@ Hommelby – Ek eetie sluimerige mossels nie…. ek was nog noooooit so honger nie, ek benodig ook niks meer om my korasie hoër te jaag nie, Handbriek sal moan…. hehehehe

  • 116

    114 – gbs, Frans Steyn played at inside centre during the world cup 2007. He was 19 years old. The same age as Lambie.

    What is the difference. You have class you get to play. 😀

  • 117

    #109 Puma

    Tonsillitis, is not ayoba!! Had it plenty of times as a laaitie…. Wine might be out but a ginger brandy might just be what the doctor ordered? 😉

    #113 Ash

    Come to think of it – daai ou hette ligblou sweater aangehad…mmmm.

  • 118

    116@ Puma – Difference is, Lambie has only played 5 Games… and the Fullback cupboard is not bare.

  • 119

    111: hulle moet skerp wees vir more se stryd daar op loftus, en oor drie weke neem die Bulle die kaap op horings !

  • 120

    Lambie het goed vertoon so ver, maar niks besonders wat hom sommer nou dadelik ‘n bok maak nie. Laat hy deur die ranks kom.

    Sien nie nou al vir Lambie naastenby in FS se klas nie, miskien in die toekoms, maar nie nou al nie. Het nie FS se kanonvoet nie en ook nie so sterk baldraer nie.

    Elke speler moet veg vir ‘n plek in die bokspan, kan nie begin dreig ‘kies my, of ek gaan speel oorsee’ nie. As jy uitsonderlik goed is, sal jy gekies word, net geduld ook gebruik.
