😥 not even something beginning with “s”? 😉
bdb
Na die naweek gaan ons net die heeltyd hoor van die “final” op Nuweland…
262: they will only be arriving here on Monday then?
In Naas Botha se dae laas het 1 man die wedstryd laas so oorheers …
In die finaal behoort dit Joubert te wees.
Loosie
I am surrounded by water here at home, can hardly hear the tv above the howling wind, 6 meter waves down in the Bay.
268: nie een van daardie plekke verdien ‘n finaal met daardie weer nie. Finale moet maar altyd hier bo gespeel word.
Soes ek se ek is nog steeds nat.
Jeez !!!
Yellow card time?
#260
nul!!
I’m not saying the refs are biased but It’s amazing how all the refs seem to favour their countrymen….. really can’t seem to explain it…
Penalty Saders… in front and 40m out…
Scrum gurus what do you think of that call
Saders 35 / 17
Thats the ball game I’m afraid…
25 – 10 Saders
Are the Crusaders playing well, or are the Brumbies playing like the Stormers?
Not good this reffing system. Next year HAS to be neutral refs. Looking at voldy plenty think this will be Bulls out the comp if Saders come 😯 🙄 Hope not.
pietman @ 275
well as long as the waves stay in the bay
you should be ok!! 😀
Ag flok
35 – 17 !!!
En ek drink nie eers nie 😳
At least my signal is strong and im witnessing this crusaders backlash.
286 – Loosehead 😆
I dunno about you ouens, but I feel really sorry for the average Soweto citizen. Just when they succeed in getting all the cattle off the streets of Orlando, guess who arrive in town? Yes, the friggin Bulls and their horny fans.
There goes the neighbouhood….
good moanin ya cyber freaks 😆
loosehead @ 286
you meant “cheetahs” didnt you? 😆
289@ Blouste – Jy’s vandag kaksleg op ‘n keyboard…. hehehe
so my superbru keeps marchin on lol
fender @ 292
😆 😆 😆
Not nearly as bad as when the Stormers might come up to Orlando…
That last game the Saders played in SA was against the Bulls. They come back it is against the Bulls. Going to be a huge game that.
Wonder now if Bulls done the right thing resting all their top players for the Stormers game?
269; stem saam oor neutrale skeidsregters, veral vir semi’s en finaal. Stem ook saam met Jonker se foute: moes McCaw baie meer geblaas het en Franks moes ‘n geelkaart gekry het vir herhaaldelik die skrums laat val, en dan was daar nog die boorvat op Daniesourus, ens. Saders het goed gespeel, maar net hulself blameer dat hul nie gewen het nie, dit alles terwyl hul nog vir 20 minute teen 14 man gespeel het.
