    Ek dink hulle mag, solank as wat die spelers in hullevoorlopige groep was.

  • 303

    Of Bulle moet met 100 wen en die Reds met 10…

  • 304

    299: dit is waar, dit gee nie om wie ons op Orlando speel nie, dit is ‘n ‘weg’wedstryd en gaan baie taai wees. Hoop my span besef dat hul kan nie elke keer wag tot die 2de helfte om te begin speel nie, sal van die eerste minuut alles moet gee. Gelukkig weet ons nou baie meer van die Saders se aanvalle, en sal meer voorbereid wees. Net jammer Shadow is uit, want ons gaan sy spoed baie mis.

    Hoe vinnig is Helberg, net jammer hy is so onervare, wie weet, dalk het hy ‘n blinder more en word gekies vir semi. Jaco vd W het baie ervaring, maar is net-net vinniger as Guthro.

    Onthou, ons praat van die Bulle hier, hulle weet nie van tactical mindgames nie, hulle sou verloor met ‘n woorde-oorlog, nou try hulle die Stormers se voorbereiding kelder…sou nie die eerste keer wees nie.

    For me this weekend is finished…

    Only thing left is who will play who…

    Does’nt really matter. If you wanna win this you have to beat everyone infront of you…

    If the Team Sheet is not signed or handed in, then I suppose the team may vary the team.

    But the Bulls don’t play around, they’ll go ahead as planned.

  • 308

    Bulls in the hood !!!

    Dankie bdb.

    That is true, even if we have to fly down to Sydney, those Tahs are going to KAK!

    Ek weet nie hoe vinnig kan hy vorentoe hardloop nie, maar ek weet hy kan ‘n rugbypaal farken vinnig klim.

  • 313

    Saders to end 4th…we are waiting you whining bunch 👿
    Stormers to fly to Sydney and back for final…

    Beautiful, a SA final, what more do you want 😉

  • 314

    Imagine hoe beskuit daai Tahs hulself more as die Bulls verklaar hulle konnie betyd vliegkaartjies kry nie, en stuur maar punte?…hehehe

  • 315

    Dink die kwelvraag vir die Stormers is nie of hul tuissemi gaan kry nie, die vraag is: wat gaan more se wedstryd teen die Bulle uit hul haal en watter impak gaan dit hê vir die week daarna.

    Maar, of jy nou eerste of vierde ge-eindig het op log, solank jy in die semi en dan finaal is, het jy altyd ‘n kans.

    As Stormers more wen, is hul na my mening in ‘n sterker posisie as die Bulle:

    1. tuissemi op eie veld, teen Tahs
    2. Bulle teen die baie sterker Saders, nie op hul tuisveld nie.

    Nou nog dikbek oor die Loftus debakel, eish.

    Maar, ten minste het ek nou al ‘n goeie verskoning as ons uitval ! hheehehe

    goooooooooooooodafternoon everyone
    not my best day ever
    hoped to catch some rugby today … managed only about 5 minutes of the canes/tahs game
    anyway, stormers now OFFICIALY in the semis
    soooooooo
    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

    blouste @ 313
    in which wet dream was that?

  • 317

    Saint, if that was possible i.e Bulls pitch up last minute with their A team, what prevents Alistair Coetzee from turning the tables by putting out the Stormers C-team to face ’em, hehe!!

    Nah, it will never happen…

  • 318

    Whats the Tahs and Stormers points difference ?

  • 319

    Ek sal lag as Bulle more in die 80ste minuut ‘n strafskop kry en die wedstryd kan wen, maar dan skop Potties die bal uit en eindfluitjie blaas. Wonder of Tahs ongelukkig sal wees ?

    saint @ 314
    Quasimodo will have a fit!! 😀

  • 321

    gbs @ 321
    are you playing with the idea that we might lose by 98+? 😀

  • 325

    97/166 – dink nie dit sal ‘n rol speel nie.

  • 326

  • 327

    fender

    Or maybe the stormers only send out the Voda-babes…Bulls being Bulls, wouldn’t know what to do?

  • 328

    Saint

    Hulle sal van ons blou-gene daar by julle agter laat.

    Goeie plan vir talent ontwikkeling vir julle daar in Slaapstad !!! 😆

  • 329

    Phil Waugh has to be the angriest little man I have ever seen, I think his father breast-fed him.

  • 330

    So Stormers moet wen more anders vlieg hulle Sydney toe…

    Hel, julle manne is seker vreeslik dankbaar teenoor ons Bulle of hoe ?
