The Chiefs actually look more clueless than the Lions in this game….. wait, no, that’s overstating it a bit!
I just had a call from my neice in London – she is a Berrick Barnes fan and she is over the moon – is there a suspicion he might at last be coming into form??????
45: die rede waarom Saders so baie ‘overlaps’ kon kry, is omdat hul sien ons kom so stadig op verdediging op, of ons kies om vir hul te wag. Dit gee hul lekkker baie tyd om planne te maak, soos jy daar noem. Ons verdediging moet baie vinniger op kom, dan kan hul nie daardie planne maak nie.
48: Shadow is definitief bok kwaliteit. Sy verdediging is nou goed. Hy sal wel moet werk aan sy bolyf om groter en sterker te word (meer saam Bakkies en Spies gaan beeste opeet!), sodat hy in sulke situasies die krag het om die bal op die grond te kry. Hy moes ook laer oor die doellyn gegaan het, dan sou hul hom nie gekeer het nie. Dit is alles dinge wat met tyd en ervaring sal kom.
Puma, Good Morning – Have you gargled with Tequila yet?
Ek gaan darem maar lekker giggel as die Sharks vanaand vir daai rugridders met hul kouse oor hulle koppe terug stuur Slaapstad toe 😆
54 – gbs, So your next game doing your press duties will be at Orlando Stadium. I heard it is actually a fantastic stadium that.
Was great to see the soccer team Bafana there last night to support the Bulls. Very good to see that. See Matfield speaking to one of the players when he handed over the signed Bulls Jersey to Bafana. Kudos to Bulls. I think that was a really great gesture from Bulls to do that. Maybe a lot of soccer supporters come to Orlando for the semi to support the Bulls. Unless it is already sold out for that semi.
@puma All in good fun mate – glad you can appreciate it and not take it so seriously unlike some other people. I always look at the bigger picture and for the sake of two saffa teams hosting the semis, your great ocean predators have to unfortunately lose…
60@ BB – Feeble?? It was a bigger attendance figure than ANY of the NZ sides could muster ALL season….
… but I must say, I expected more people at the game…. after the weather looked like rain earlier in the day, it was actually a beautiful evening… not even cold either.
bdb en Blouste, hoe kan jy nou se daai sagmaakteorie van julle is stront praat?
58: as ek reg onthou, was dit ‘n afrigter van die kaap wat gekom het met die teorie dat spanne mekaar ‘sagmaak’ vir die volgende wedstryd (Bulle wat voor Stormers toer). Wys net hoe min weet hy, want die Bulle moes toe die ding maar self doen.
Yeah, also a bit disappointed about attendance bigbluegrin. As you say not too shabby but still expected it to be jampacked. Seems newlands supporters remain the most passionate, don’t know why…
66@ Puma – I hear Orlando Stadium is actually a very, very good Stadium… very modern.
Just a bit weary to go park my car somewhere in Vilakazi Street in Soweto…. hehehe
Michelle Morison at the Bulls says they might organise a media Bus for us…
69: sien 70, ons maak grappe oor die ‘sagmaakstories’, vang jy dit nog nie … stadig daar in die kaap ? 😉
Tahs seem determined to improve their points difference. Look sure to end up in on 38 like my stormpoppies, so anchovies will have to suffer for it!
74@ Turkey – What you doing in Milan?
Nog ‘n rede waarom ek dink Loftus nie heeltemal vol was nie, was omdat die VC finaal om 16h00 op die B veld gespeel is en omtrent 17h45 klaar was. Dus, wat moet die mense doen vir ‘n uur en ‘n half, nie lus om daar rond te hang nie. Ek dink baie het by die huis gekyk, en tussen 6 en 7 gebraai en gekuier.
@75 catching turkeys of course. Jokes aside I’ve been living over year for the last 8 years.
67 – Turk, I would like my ocean big predators…hahaha. To win. Then if the lose it will be fine as then we will have two saffa teams in the semi.
Pity about my team should could have been up there with Stormers and Bulls in the semi. Well could have. We got really bad calls in 4 of our games. Then our fault too. Should score tires and those bad calls would never have mattered. Maybe we can be back for next year. Need to get some centres and a FH. Also think Odwa will be over the hill for next year. Need JPP and Mvovo on the wings.
good morning everyone
77 – Turk, You living in Italy? Damn I LOVE the place. One of my favourite places in Europe with the South of France.
68 – GBS Well there are more sheep than people in NZ so that does not count!! 🙂
79 – Sharky, Good morning. Did you finally get up out of bed?…….hehehe.
Oor die wen drie gisteraand:
1. Maku het nie vorentoe gegooi nie
2. bal tref Saders speler se hand
3. en toe van Maku se kop is die bal vorentoe
4. waarna FH die bal bemeester en druk
Enigste moontlike probleem: is dit ‘n kop-aanslaan ?
Sjoe bdb en Blouste, ek sien julle gooi nou meer bollemakiesies as wattie Moscow circus in een aand kan aanbied…
See how empty the stands are in this game…. almost as bad as at the Coke-Tin
@puma – Yip sharkies have been unlucky this season. They have been the best saffa team in the comp over all these years and it’s a pity that they could not have been in the semis too. Would have been awesome!
Morning Sharky….
Not making the trip to Durban for RT today then?
Try Tim LamNaai Williams
Try Chiefs.
Jisja
Anybody knows when a replay of last night’s Bulls’ game will be shown, I want to watch it again?
Bulls will have to something about their defensive pattern real quick, or they will be over-run by Jacques Fourie and Co in the Stormers game.
Bulls defence was hondkuk last night, Spies and Pottie will have shape up, cant leave all the tackling to Steggies.
