Puma hi
All I need now is the Saders to come good this weekend 😀
I picked them but I fear for he Chiefs chances, home or not – half their team is in the sick ward 🙁
Tonight’s match between the Bulls and Crusaders have suddenly become more important….
241 – RP, That is why I don’t rate the Chiefs this year. They have far too many injuries. Well after the left SA the injuries came.
Need to see how Saders do tonight against the Bulls. If they beat the Bulls they will be in a semi. They lose they are out I think.
I will put up the Game Thread for the Bulls / Saders match early this afternoon…
Yip forgot.
Congrats Canes.
If our bullyboys do the business tonight as they should, saders are probably out of the semis provided of course:
Brumbies beat landers
Tahs take chiefs
Stormies blow away your little nasty fishes 🙂
Yep, congrat to the Canes, well done.
It’s raining here in Brakkenjanpan again… hope Loftus is dry though
GBS @ 248 Snap! It’s raining here in Bateau Bay, forget this climate change thing. If it rains in Brakkenjanpan AND Bateau Bay at the same time, then all’s well with the planet.
Go the Bulls!!!!
Good luck to our Bullyboys tonight Bigbluegrin and great site. Keep it up!
250@ The_Young_Itai – Yip, this is a great site…
249@ Oldie – Strange weather to be raining here still in Gauteng, this time of year…. we are not used to rain in Winter. Fark, the lawns which by now would be turning from green to brown is still a lush green.
250 – A big scrabble now for places in the semi. Think Bulls are home and dry. Even if they lose to Saders. If Saders win think they will make a semi.
Semi places still up for grabs to these teams I think.
Stormers
Tahs
Brumbies
Saders
Canes
If Stormers and Bulls lose this week. Next weeks game going to be a monster. Well even if both win it still will be a monster. Always are these SA derby games.
Bulls / Saders Game Thread scheduled for 13:15 SA Time already…
251 – Gbs, My garden looking tropical…hehehe. Very lush and green for this time of year. Normally very brown now and dusty with no rain.
253 – Gbs, Thanks. That means you will be busy….hahaha.
255@ Puma – I will be leaving for Loftus at about 16:00 already… so you guys see to it that you keep that thread buzzing while I travel and join you again from the Press Box.
For now, I suppose I have to quickly put in a day’s hard graft….
248 – gbs, NO rain here in Fourways. I am closer to PTA, so hope it stays away the rain. We have had too much of it now. Sun still out here.
Okay see big black clouds coming up. Damn means the rain is on the way. NOT good for the Bulls game for tonight. Well think they will win but not sure about the bonus if the conditions are wet.
256 – Gbs, I always keep this blog going….hahaha. You can count on me boeta. Though will be busy from from 12.30pm until about 2pm. Then again at 4 to about 5pm. Then I will be back on here.
Okay I am out of here. Back later.
Cheers all. Have a good evening Old Griquas. Good luck for your Tahs tomorrow.
Leeker rugby manne Superbul on his way , cheers
261@ SuperBul – Tjorts ou Beesblaas… geniet hom… sê Heppy Heppy Birthday vir die Ou SuperKoei fossiel…. hehehehe
