Sal graag die build up wil sien maar Australia Network saai net die game uit. Dit suig!
@ rugbybal:
Ten minste sien jy die game live
Ek kan eers na die Stormers game die Bulls game kyk
Hulle saai altwee games uit, maar eers van 1:30 af, 8;30 SA tyd
Waar is jy?
@ rugbybal:
Vroeer die week het ek ‘n telling van 32-20 gehad vir die Bulls
Nou sal ek ‘n 9-8 oorwinning vat met ‘n smile

@ Pam Anderson:
Well that & a well timed … oohh never mind 😉
GO SADERS !!! 😆
@ Rugby_Princess:
I see you are supporting the Saders
Are you from NZ?
Ek is in Taiwan, maar kry Australia network hier. Hulle saai meeste van die games uit. Gaan jy aflyn gaan en wag vir die game om uitgesaai te word, of gaan jy rondhang. As die Bulls verloor mag jy dalk nie wil wag nie.

Helloooooooooooooooo from Fortress Lof… Orlandoooooooooo
Up the Bulls!!
What a magnificent stadium….. still very few supporters here, I’m sitting right in the front row of the Press Box (outside where one WILL feel the atmosphere), next to Richard a NZ Newspaper man….
The atmosphere is already great…
On the way here we were greeted from the streets, in our bus by all and sundry in Soweto…
Upon arriving, I had a photo taken of me and our National Coach, Peter de Villiers as well as the Bulls manager, Wynie Strydom, by one of the journalists… he’ll mail me the pic…
Today is going to be EPIC!!
Donner hulle Bulle! Thunder them Bulls… in english 🙂
@ grootblousmile:
Awesome stuff GBS. What is the atmosphere like so far. I mean outside of the stadium? Ek sit hier en hou die horlosie dop en geniet ‘n Taiwan draft. Ek stress bigtime oor die game.
The pitch is in magnificent nick…
The in-goel areas are not too small…
I’m sitting on the Grand Stand, right at the halfway line… better position you canot get!!
One can play rugby here again….. anytime!!
48@ rugbybal: Balle, traffic is hectic, I hope everybody gets to the stadium on time…
The atmosphere… wonderful… this will mean a lot for rugby in SA.
Let me go smoke a litle Camel and soak up more of the atmosphere as people arrive… back in a while.
