    5m from their line, line-out Canes

  • 185

    Fender @ 176 you are a mind reader. I was just thinking the same thing. Cooper is about as close to a surfer as I am to a lion tamer. Oh well, personal interpretation????

  • 186

    Would be good if the Reds are denied a bonus point for tries and a bonus point for losing with 7 or less

  • 187

    Blouste, ja. Backed the Canes to win.

    superBul, check your Bru mail please.

    I used to klap the West Coast waves when I was a laaitie. Just hope I never looked like that! To be 100% truthful the waves used to klap me more than what I klapped them, hehe!

    We’ve got a Boere Pop singer here called Kurt Darren (Kurk Derm) and Quaint’s stance reminds me of one of his moves. I can tell you for free that when He pulls off that move, all Bulls fans hold on to their wives/girlfriends a little tighter.

    You see, those chicks smaak him stukkend!!!

    44 -21 Canes

    Looking at the games tomorrow. Think the Tahs and Brumbies could both win. Then if Saders lose tonight think it will be a race for 3rd and 4th spot by, Tahs, Brumbies and maybe the Canes. Phew!! Changes now after every game played. Very exciting this year to see who will get in the semi.

    Bulls will make it. Think Stormers will too.

    Fender @ 198 Cooper reminds me of the three stooges when they shoot through from the scene of the debacle…………

  • 204

    198@ Kitaartjie – Old Kurk Derm is now the top-selling Afrikaans singer…. and at least he sings, Kaptein span die seile….

    Big rugby man, even made a big investment in Boland Rugby…
