Cry me a river, 😆 we were light years ahead of everyone else, we played in the second best venue possible. Orlando is great and it is a great success story. The vuvuzelas came as a little free extra.
Super
No one was making excuses – so why the dig ? Unnecessary.
San Miguel….Australia network….it’s a good beer
a bit unnecessary I agree
@ Rugby_Princess:
You watching the Stormers vs Waratahs game?
@ rugbybal:
Not in the mood now. Recording it & going to bed … might read about a jolly murder to help me sleep 😉
390: As jy na die onderhoude gaan, sê vir Vic en die res, RT sê: DIT IS LEKKER OM ‘N KAMPIOENBUL TE WEES !
RP you know me by now, that was not only aimed at you, some others also stirred the vuvu…. complaints, i say let it be. FIFA accepted it , it is part of Soweto and as our democracy grows we gain a lot by accepting this African thing. Lets leave it there i always respected your team and i am glad my team is busy following in your teams great footsteps.
@ Rugby_Princess:
yeah I know, I would have felt the same it the Bulls lost. Good night!
Well done Bulls
I had to come peep with one eye
Handshake Rugby_Princess
You should be proud
You support a great team
Thanks Bulls
You made my week
@ rugbybal:
Bullshit
I think a trip to 7/11 is in order. See you guys in a few
Great game. Was suprised the Bulls won by so much,thought it was going to be much closer..
403@ rugbybal:
911 is vinniger.
404: Gunston, ek dink FDP se drie het die Saders geknak. Wedstryd was toe verby. Dink ook Richie moes die 3 punte gevat het met die strafskop net voor lemoenetyd, toe kry die Bulle amper.
@ bdb:
Our cricket has become very sad and i enjoy 50 overs and tests but loathe 20/20
Watter nuwe Bokke uit hierdie Bulspan gaan daar wees ?
Ek dink die volgende
Skaduwee
Stegmann
Flip
Werner
@ Die Boek:
Congrats to your team 😀
I did take heart seeing RM has worked out the new rules & can again get the ball in a tackle – gives me hope for 3N ! Will make securing a ticket to the Bledisloe in HKG on Oct 30th all the more worthwhile :-d
wel done bulle julle hou sa se naam hoog
410: dankie vir die vrystaat se bydrae ! Ons vir jou SA !
