7 – Blouste, Thanks buddy. Hope we can end with a win.
We don’t have a very good ref. Just hope he is better than when he reffed us in the 2nd half against the Cheetahs.
You should… I went with all the underdogs this weekend !!!
So I’ll be supporting the Sharks but have got Force on bru… 😉
His a Pro man… 😉

Puma
I’m farked on bru in anycase…
Went with the unthinkable picks this round !!!
Thanks.
Cheers, but we’ll win tomorrow for starters 😉
16 – Blouste, So am I. I am useless at it. Next year will play the game with my head and not the heart.
Cheers Blouste enjoy your weekend.
17 – Blouste, That would be the biggest upset of this tourney 😆 Don’t think saru would like it either 😆
Back later for the Sharks game.
First of the ‘nothing’ games. Will not make difference to either team… and Force in any case will be massacred.
So sit back and enjoy, no stress!
See Dickinson will ref Stormers and Tahs next week in the first semi then Mark Lawrence will ref the Bulls/Saders game.
That is Stormers win tomorrow which they should.
Puma the Bulls was never Christmas father before, if we smash the Stormers with our 2nds it will be good riddance.
Dont trust anybody, it will be much better for the Bulls to play any team other than the Stormers in the final.
Bulls is not stupid, whenever we play in finals the REST of SA turns against us. So please get it out of your mind, the A team will run on in Cape Town. At least we will play with the A plan.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLS !!! With a B 😉
kyk iemand krieket?
Aus het nou weer nuwe vuur
Vinnige boulers wat nou lekker settle in hul span.
Why does the 24 hour clock always catch me out, I thought this match started now!! 😡
