    Mvovo, Man of the match.

  • 186

    @ grootblousmile:Lambie did well at centre, all they did was change the playmaker….he is a revelation.

  • 187

    @ grootblousmile:181 – Before I go gbs, Where is the congrats on me reaching 10 000 posts? 😀

    Jeepers never thought I would reach that but I have. Been slow this past month with the football world cup and the moving.

    Okay off to watch the open.

    Mixed feelings about today….My Boks beaten, but the Sharks did well….I think I’ll have a glass of red wine anyway!!

  • 189

    186@ 4man:
    Steve Meyer is absolutely ordinary though…. I say move Lambie to flyhalf… hehehehe… shunt him around some more.

    Lambie’s got good distribution skills, must be said!

  • 191

    @ grootblousmile:Thought he would be.

    @ 4man:186 – 4man so Lambie is. Going to be a Bok for sure. He played really well at inside centre but read Plum going to play him at FH. Hope he eventually settles at in one position.

    Okay that is me out off to watch the open.

    OK good evening all, I am going to go outside and sit in the sunshine, chow some cherries with a glass of Cabernet. Mommy is cutting the grass verges….thats her part of ship…I’ll sit and watch.

  • 195

    So, a bit of a kak rugby weekend…. eishhhhhhh

  • 196

    OK I’m out.

  • 197

    I’m gutted. The Boks lost, the Bulls lost. But hey, lets look on the bright side: There are some serious young talent coming through. Pat Lambie, Mvovo, Shadow are the first three that spring to mind. The future of Bok Rugby looks exciting. OK Cheers I’m off to bed.

  • 198

    OK, having Chinese Take-aways… Handbriekie has also just arrived… so it’s me out for the night.

  • 199

    Seems like its been quite a busy day around here, on the rugby results front just been a painful one am afraid. SUPERBUL thanks for responding with the link on Oosthuizen this morning, sorry taken so long to reply not long home and soon to be out again. Looks like Casey is making a bit of a run up the board, hopefully Oosthuizen can keep things steady, this morning I thought about -15 would be a winning score seeing how far back all else were and so a couple of two or three under rounds would do the trick. But its going to be testing from here with the others catching up, plus the most important is going to be how he handles it mentally, it must be fairly unfamiliar territory to be in such spotlight at the moment. Cheers vir eers.
