117@ Kitaar – You hope….
By the looks of it the Tahs will walk this game…
Early days though…
Tahs are by far the stronger team thus far
Sien die semi op Orlando is 17h00. 15h00 sou beter gewees het, want as die ander semi ook in SA is, dan word 1 vs 4 mos eerste gespeel, en dan 3 vs 4 ? … of weet iemand iets wat ons nie weet nie, dat die ander semi nie in SA gaan wees nie … ? 😉
If i was a bulls supporter, i’d far better face the stormpoppies in the final than the saders. On the tahs jersey, take back my insult after hearing it’s for charity – good on them!
Nonu’s make up is running 😆
#121 GBS This is the Cape of Good Hope yes, but I don’t quite follow your thinking. Hope what?
Turk
Good on them if its for charity…
Still FUGLY !!!
O flok, daar kak die feed oppie TV…

hiyas puma bro , yeah i had saders to win

Penalty Canes, right in front.. after the hooter
Tahs 18 / 9
Lemoenetyd
Piri Weepu slots it
18 – 9 Tahs
Halftime.
2 more tries for bonus point Tahs !!!
Only 9 points in this game….
well i got tahs to win by 9 , so may the score stay the same 😆
@128 themostblue – not question it’s a fugly jersey. Makes it an even better reflection on tahs to consent to wear it!
Tahs looked on fire in the first half…
Will Canes be back in the 2nd half…
i think another 7 out of 7 this weekend will do superbru just good 😉 😆
halloooo almal, sorry I am not typing a lot but struggle to type after my op…..
Turkie
Point taken 😉
Hi Tripples
Trips…what op ?
143 go bulls hehehehe
Tahs are playing well, but their recent injuries in the forwards are showing up a dearth of quality in the front row. The backs are world class, but you can’t fill a side with emerging forwards and expect to take out the big matches.
Canes, on the other hand, look to me to be frustrated at their own performance so far. I think they are going to strugge late in the second half. I’ll confidently predict a Tahs bonus point win is looming high, wide and handsome. (hopefully??)
144 had a carpal tunnel op on both hands and believe me, i would rather give birth to 10 kids than do this again, very painful
Second half …
Trips
Well hope you get well soon !!!
Canes only trail by 9 points, that should see them taking this game by 12 if recent form is anything to go by.
