Halftime…
Good try there by Canes, they right back in this game.
Pietman @ 72 love it! Weather sounds just fine to me. What I would give for some original pens n bootjies. I’ve already got the red wine, as Blue Bird would attest.
Go the Reds!!!!!
8 points in it…
Game on , come Canes !!!
86 – Piet, Not sure I am up in Joburg. Will phone my daughter later to ask the weather down there.
Weepu will have to up his goal kicking, could prove costly…
83 – Snoek, Just hope we can but really hope it is a good game.
Owen get it spot on… Hurricanes not finishing off their oppertunities…
Hope they get it right in the second half…
First 10 minutes in the 2nd Half is important now…
Hot news for the nascent Melbourne Rebels. Mark Gasnier, former St George and Kangaroos centre, is on his way back to Aus from Stade Francais after agreeing to terms with the Rebels. They’re building a reasonable playing roster.
Thx Puma.
Old Qua @109, why don’t you cook it yourself, there should be a Saffa butcher in Sydney and surrounds, just ask for tribe and trotters (sheep).
The recipe we can post here, in case you have forgotten. Just ask Sharky, he is ‘our reataurantier’.
‘restaurantier’
So second half to start…
Go Canes !!!
New assistant ref, what happened to the other one 😕
