206 – PA, probably. Nothing is just in this world though. 😯
#206
Again you sound like an Aussie
205 – GBS I’ll raise you a choccolate Hob-Nob !! 😉
I’ll go there…Only difference will be I’ll have to pay 🙁
Saint – maybe watch the final in Sydney, not play it.
210 – Saint, of course. I said that in a earlier post. Brain going to sleep here. Could you imagine Bulls 2nd side and first side beating the Stormers one week after the other 😆
Stormers will hold the semi at Newlands.
@ 212 😆
neva… Bulls vs stormer final…….
All Canes now 😕
213@ BB – Hey, nobody’s nobbing nobody here on the blog!
Eishhhhhhh
How is that a just world? The Stormers beat 5 out of 5 NZ teams, first SAFFA team EVER to do so, we already beat the Tahs once this year, why should we bow to them all of a sudden?
208 – Blue Bird, I will have fallen down again. Had the Brumbies to win. Though no train smash I am way down on the ladder there 😉
Come on Tahs, dont let it slip now…
Scrum Tahs 5 out of their own line…
think the bulls game gonna be a lot closer than a lot people think……
from… their own line 😳
Pam…mate or is it sheila…if the Tahs make it into teh semi-finals, they face the Crusaders if the Bulls manage to beat us, the Saders on the up and up, I wouldn’t be prepping for a final if I was them…
212 – The Saint – Nice thread about the Rugby Talkers attitudes, you do realise there are voldyites who are obsessed with notion that RT’s just back slap each other!!
I think they forget that blogging is many things to many people…..Name calling can get very tedious, having a chat and a banter with friends here is priceless.
Simply not enough time for the Canes to catch up
Easy – you should be made to fight for a home semi, not achieving it through charity.
What the hell are the Tahs doing now…Yellow Tahs…
I don’t think Newlands will be a run-away game, not with the weather shaping up the way it is doing.

Same for your precious little Tahs, we have fought, the whole season, that is why we ended 2nd on the log.
225 – Durban, Not so sure. Stormers by 15 or more. If Bulls 2nd stringers beat Bulls tomorrow I will be shocked. Really don’t see that happen.
Tahs, Saders should just climb on the plane tomorrow early not waste time to see if Bulls beat Stormers. They wont.
Though that is what they will do wait until Sunday to travel.
Durban Bulle – Is it safe to roam the streets of Durban in a Bulls Jersey? 😆
Jeez, no try again !!!
Tahs penalty
Almost a try for Canes
Nonu het seker weer die ref gevloek.
230 – PA… 😀
Great defensive effort by Tahs !!!
