55 – Fires, It took S. Burger almost a year to come back after had his neck fused. Any neck op is serious and it wont be 6 weeks, 6 weeks to walk without a brace but NEVER to play rugby. Going to be at least 6 months before he is back. Feel for him now wont play the Tri-Nations. Someone gets injured another just steps in to take their place. We have huge, depth here at hooker. Liebenberg from the Stormers is playing the rugby of his life at the moment too.
Blerrie Canes, useless Chiefs!
Now we have a game 😀
Canes in the lead now. 28/27 Canes. So my bru wont be out for this one 😀
Canes 28 / Chiefs 27
Oohh dear …
63 – Rugby Princess, I see that brought you out…hahaha. Thought another upset here.
Penalty to Chiefs
Who would want to be a kicker ??
Callum Bruce misses an absolute sitter to put the Chiefs in front…
Penalty missed and probably will cost the Chiefs the game.
Tryyyyyyyyyy Canes….. Tialata
How to make up for a mistake eh ? 😉
Canes get a try. That is it Canes win. At least I pick up some bru points here. 😀
72 – Rugby Princess, Sorry about your Saders loss last night, but Stormers were brilliant in the 2nd half.
Not too far out on Superbru, i said Cannes by 4
Canes win by 33 / 27, also scoring their bonus point and now move up to an ominous 32 Log Points…. with only 2 games to go
Puma,
So Brown managed to work a penalty in for the Chiefs.
The battle for the Semi final spots heats up to boiling point. How many still have a chance?
My superbru might actually do well this weekend
Puma
Yes congrats to the Stormers, they were the better team – but – I *LOATHE* Dickinson !! I would not pee on that damned convict if he was on fire ! 😡
See you for the Brumbies / Reds match just now…. going to jump through a shower quickly.
77 – Fires, if Canes beat Reds and Tahs with bonus points they will end on 42 points. They could still make the semi.
81 – gbs, You lazy bugger, I done that first thing when I got up this morning….. 😆
Canes byb 6 my superbru….
At last one right !!! 😆
80 – Rugby Princess, I think the Stormers don’t like him much either, their game against the Force he was not good there. Stormers I feel should have won that one too.
Now hope my Sharks don’t get him next week against the Stormers.. 😉
84 – Blouste, I had Canes by 6 too……hehehehe. Finally making some points now….hahaha. I am so useless with this prediction game. Even forgot how much I said Canes by. Just went to check.
