Thanks BlueBird…thing is, the only reason they know about RT is because they also visit the site, to read the articles, they just don’t admit it…
235 – Blue Bird, We in Durbs are too laid back to worry about that. Now we would not roam the streets of Pretoria in a Sharks jersey 😀
Blue Bird…
Every body just make way, almost like the sea infront of Moses back in the days… 😆
Puma, you may have gathered I cannot get this game, hoping to get some of the Saffa matches later…..However thrilled I am thrashing you on superbru!!! Yee Haaa – Girl Power, hey where are EEE and Hugs?
8 minutes left…
¤233- not a Tahs supporter by the way. Its got to be Sharks – side with the hottest cheerleaders!
Come on Tahs…keep them out !!!
come on canes just bring it a bit closer
242 – The Saint, I know many voldyites enjoy a read here but are too shy to ‘cross the line’!! Lots of us enjoy a banter on both blogs, when ‘conditions’ are favourable!! Heheheheh
Try Canes…damn !!!
Try Canes… David Smith

Pammy, I’m not sure who you are, but trying to bait me is useless, this isn’t Keo, and your lack of any rugby knowledge means a banter with you will be useless, so I resign…
245 – Blue Bird, I went with my heart in those 5 games Sharks lost. Also Stormers and Bulls lost a few points for me going with them. I go with the heart.
These two games was not really sure. Thought Saders then thought no way they too tired. They were up for it. Now think it will be a almighty battle at Orlando next week. Hope we get the rugby. Will be on my holiday from Thursday.
Tahs 32 / 16
Tahs, Sharks what’s the diffs?
244 – Blouste – Hiya, now I missed you yesterday….Let me into a secret, what is your Stormers v Bulls call?
Come on Tahs ,get one back !!!
Sorry #256 meant for #247
1 more canes come on!!!
BB
Stormers should win it, but I think it will be close….
I picked Bulls by 18 none-the-less 😆
Sharks het die minste driee hierdie jaar gedruk (20), hopelik kan hul vanaand ‘n paar meer druk. Stormers lê 10de op die log vir driee, nie baie goed vir ‘n span wat in die semi’s wil speel nie (32).
247- Pam Anderson, you used to like blokes when you were on ‘Baywatch’, are you now ‘Batting for the other side’? (Or whatever the lady version of that is) !!! 😯
Saint – pretty quick to judge rugby knowledge when you don’t know me.
Being a Stormers supporter clearly clouds your thinking that playing a second string side for a home semi is a good thing for the competition.
am I not entitled to have an opposing opinion? Do I have to agree with you? NO!
Does that mean I know shit about the game?
Grow up will you.
#262 – bidibi
Ons punteverskil vertel ‘n ander storie, hoeveelste le ons daar? O ja, eerste, asook met minste driee afgestaan.
O well
Congrats Tahs…
Game over
Tahs 32 / 16
254 – Puma, hope you can get the rugby coverage on that desert island!!
Room for a small one?
263 – nothing wrong with a muffin from time to time 🙂
pity canes could not score again but still got the point for the win!!!
