@ sharky_forever:
Spies has fallen into his old routine. Hard game, and he goes walk about.
@ Loosehead:
Hey Loosehead…how’s thing’s going mate? Still keeping our Cheetah name high? Bring on the Currie Cup!!
agreed loskoppie
january plain shit
morne steyn all over the park
Bekkert also looking a little listless on defence.
Well stolen Louw.
great try with burger sending bekker beautifully into a gap with spies to round off
Bekker gets a good run and Pierre finishes off a good try..
Hehehehe, as we complain about them, they shine!
@ bos_otter:
I can’t wait for the CC final in Bloem against the Bulls.
Bokke 27 / 6
was also good pass from bekker but it was burger who read the play brilliantly
lol true rudi , kak hulle uit en dan blink hulle skielik
@ grootblousmile:
They would be a superb centre pair for the Lions.
Lemoenetyd
Is it time for the first Windhoek of the day?
All 27 Bokke points scored by Bulls….. hehehehe… and there’s only 4 of them in the team… who scores next, Gurthro or Bakkies??
OK, 2nd half should be good…. uless some daft substitutions is made en-masse again….
just lost the live feed I had…anyone have a working link to the game?
2 Subs who could actually make a positive contribtion would be Ruan Pienaar on for Ricky and Zane on and Gio moving back to right wing in place of Jean who is not doing much.
Middag almal. 3N en CB moet begin, hierdie rugby is vervelig.
Good afternoon all
