No try… barely
25 – Turk, So it is, this is a very exciting finish to the S14 this year.
nope @alwaysfishy
scew throw by brumbies on their line , how stupid
@32 Indeed bigspotted(sometimesblack)cat
Landers squandering scoring opportunities
What i admire about the anzacs, is that even their bottom teams are competitive and never just roll over for the opposition. They may lose but because they are just not good enough, not because they don’t even try!!!! Damn the lions and cheatah cubs!
35@ The_Young_Skurk – Pityful!
Brumbies 17 / 0
@38 apologies bigbluemondskeufgetrek 🙂
If Brumbies win here they too could make a semi. Need to get the bonus point though. Then they have to play Saders in Christchurch. That might be difficult. Then Saders have to travel so who knows Brumbies could beat them.
We may see 2 Saffa and 2 Aussie sides in the semi and no kiwi side. That would seem kinda strange not to see a kiwi side make it.
40@ Die Jong Skurk – You said you’ve been in Italy for 8 years… suppose you’ve married a nice Bella… and have a couple of Bambino’s??
Brumbies 17 / 3
Lemoenetyd
32 – Turk 😀
43 – Lunch time… 😀
Now where is Winston? He was on here earlier.
@42 why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free mate 🙂
No bambini either. People here don’t all have kids and if they do it’s usually just one. Totally different mentality to ours
46@ Die Jong Skurk – Same here in SA nowadays… I have just one bambino, BonzaiGBS…
My wife, Handbriekie, has a daughter, BonzaiHandbriekie…
46 – Turk, Must be great living in Italy.
brumbies keeping my super bru intact
winston is hiding 😆
landers on the board
soooooooooooooooo maak mens
@47 Compliments to you both. The world is changing and we have to move with it. How old are the bambini?
@Puma Has its advantages and disadvantages. Berautiful buildings and lifestyle but mentality takes getting used to. People in Sa are far too negative because of historical/political reasons, but every country has its problems. Better to just try and make a go of ones own country and not constantly run it down like many saffas.
Try Josh Valentine
young turk no disrespect mate but you have no clue what ur talking about
i have worked all over africa as well as in my own country
4 times i been held up with armed robberies , one being my restaurant last sunday evening
never in 6 years up in africa did i face anything ,like we face in our own country
Brumbies 24 / 3
Israel Dagg also cops a yellow… oi
56 – That is Landers gone.
nowhere in the world do they rape and beat up 1 year old babies like they do here.
or like 2 weeks ago 6 blacks beat up a woman that works for me for her mobile phone
her face was black and blue ( and she is white) the way they hit her,
see i love my country and still feel we are the greatest country on earth but i dont believe in sitting like a ostrich with my head stuck in the sand and not realising whats going on around me
we need to face the facts and stay focused
55 – Sharky, Jeepers that is scary man, just last Sunday? Crikey time to get out of that business.
as for the landers?? they dead and buried
