28 – Have that wrong. Canes/Tahs….hehehe. To early for me. 🙄
Puma
Have you also got a glass of fine red wine in your hand ? 😆
31 – Blouste. 😀 meant Canes/Brumbies
Morning guys and Tripples, am on cell, cant blog much dureing game got a handful in a scalped baby monkey i finaly caught Tuesday.
33 – Blouste, WISH…HEHEHE. Have a strong cup of good coffee.
35 – Morning Treehugs. That sounds tough, a scalped monkey. How you treat that?
Two huge games coming up, should have played sick today…..
He he he Puma
Me too…
Sterkte aan die aussie en nz spanne: skryf mekaar af !
More al die mense en stormers ondersteuners.
Puma @ 23 – g’day mate. I’m not quite so confident with the Brumbies. I just believe those Saders are almost unbeatable in the big games at home. As for the Tahs v Canes, who knows what will happen there? It should be a decent match up. Tahs have been almost begging the fans to come and be vocal with support, so they are hoping for a sellout.
This is the time and the place for the real Tahs to stand up and be counted – they have to bring home the bacon tonight, nothing short of a bonus point win is acceptable to the fans.
Ahh, picture those pure white sandy beaches in Mauritius! Lucky devil!!!!
Blouste, pleez man: just because you get your excuses sorted out before your team runs onto the field doesn’t mean that everbody else does it as well. Let the man enjoy his game! 😉
See a thread on keo. Stormers to end a 5 year losing streak this Saturday. Well not really as that is not the real Bulls team. Stormers and their supporters know that though. They will want to face the Bulls in the final against the full strength side.
Craig Joubert is Ref for the Final.
Game Onnnnnnnnnnnnn!!
fender
I’ve got no excuses…Just stating the obvious if you look at the last couple of games…
Never had much excuses to start of with, seeing we’ve only lost 2 games this year …
41 – Old G, Saders are very tough at home. The only thing I am thinking here is, two very tough games in SA then that monster travel back to Christchurch. Though you never know they are hurting about that loss to the Bulls so maybe they will play out their skins to win it and come back here for revenge…hahaha. Though I feel Brumbies could win it. Also have Tahs for a win. So have to see. Those kiwi sides are tough to beat in these situations.
Yes, I am thinking already of those white beaches of Mauritius and plenty good sea food and plenty good red wine. Agggggggggggg life is GOOD…hehehe. Only 6 more days to wait.
Carter misses a sitter….
Puma
Thats what pisses them off most !!!
They know it’s not the real deal and they can do nothing about it…I’m loving it !!!
43: Joubert die ref vir die finaal ? Wat ? Solank baie geluk aan die nuwe S14 kampioen !
Puma antibiotics 4 times a day on bannana force fed, cleaning revolting brown pus in the beginning constantly, keeping scalp creamed and moist so remaining skin doesnt dry out, and as it gets stronger temper tantrums while calling 4 its mother who will get it back later. Oh and cleaning away tiny maggots the first evening.
Griqua – The tahs would like to have a sell out cause it’s there last home game tonight…The fans will pitch this weekend like the quarter finals…
Fark, Bryce Lawrence better ref a good game…
Carter going for posts again
@ 47
Sign of thinhs to come, lets see if he can slot this one…
Carter misses again !!!
Carter misses again…. big time nerves…
Pressure building 😉
Even the advertising boards are favouring the Brumbies… 😆
Wie lyk die beste op die oomblik?
So lets see what the Brumbies can put together on attack…
I bet Rugby_Princess have already let out a number of curses and highly unsavoury words… hehehe
