    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.

    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.

    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…

  • 282

    Penalty Saders… in front and 40m out…

  • 284

  • 285

    Thats the ball game I’m afraid…

    25 – 10 Saders

  • 286

    Are the Crusaders playing well, or are the Brumbies playing like the Stormers?

  • 287

    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.

    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….

    Not nearly as bad as when the Stormers might come up to Orlando…

  • 299

    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.
