superBul i dont think you are nervous at all, I think you are quietly confident and so you should be, you always really nice to SHARK supporters.
35@ SuperBul – Ek is nog so nugter soos ‘n tor!
That was pathetic defence by the Lions, am peeved that i put my faith in them today.
English translation for post 39 please.
Ek wou nou die manne op die lions site aanprys en moed inpraat maar lyk my die paar oorlewende Leeu ondersteuners is almal op Coke Tin Park

You may regret it! 😉

Pleeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz, GBS and Sharkie out together and you expect them to behave.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
Lions playing risky stuf under there posts, am sorry am thinking they should be replaced by the spears, that just shows no respect for the game being so windgat, if they had the skills fine.
50
Hugs the Lions have a better chance to reach the semis, 😆
Actually dont blame the players as much as the coaching.
51 Hugs it scares me that their coach will be involved with the Springboks.
superBul 😯 explain
Wikus verlang na Engeland
My flok…. people, it’s raining heavily here….. grrrrrrrrr
superBul 54 i agree, its a downright shame, you play to a teams strengths and ability not the way you want them to play or what is more watchable, whatever that means.
55
what
3hugs i agree , in the old days the 7 selectors gave the coach the best players, then he had to work out how to use the best talent available, that to me was real coaches
