    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 😀

  • 244

    Blue Bird…

    Every body just make way, almost like the sea infront of Moses back in the days… 😆

    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

    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, Sharks what’s the diffs?

  • 257

    244 – Blouste – Hiya, now I missed you yesterday….Let me into a secret, what is your Stormers v Bulls call?

  • 258

    Come on Tahs ,get one back !!!

  • 259

    BB

    Stormers should win it, but I think it will be close….

    I picked Bulls by 18 none-the-less 😆

  • 262

    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).

  • 263

    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) !!! 😯

  • 264

    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.
