WP 28 / 3
Oh no look at that score already seems like have backed a losing horse here! But anyway its good for SA rugby if WP are achieving this by good running rugby. Time to head away will try and follow the rest at times but not able to chat anymore, work beckons. Lekker aand vir almal, come on Pumas put up a bit of a fight.
51@ Blue Bird:
Hey, I only took the drugs afterwards…. hehehe
@ Bullscot:yea mate..long years, but they have been good to me. Gained so much through it. Best think I ever did, but it’s time to move back. My kids deserve the wide open spaces and the sporting opportunities SA have to offer….not this enclosed,pampered big brother crap they have over here..can’t do this, not allowed to swim there…bla bla bla…..it’s for your own safety…
WP is absolutely slaughtering the Pumas… hot on attack again
Tryyyyyyyy Anton van Zyl…. bonus point already
WP 35 / 3

Must say, it was freegin awesome rugby by WP in the 1st half
When does a player score a “brace” is it when the 2 tries are in a row or even when he scores 2 but other tries are in between? What will a “brace be in Afrikaans?
72@ superBul:
A brace is 2 tries, no matter if other tries are in between.
@ bos_otter:
Blue ‘Bird’ – 🙂
2nd half on
Out now…See you lads 🙂
76@ Blue Bird:
Cheers
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers has come out strongly to tell the country that he — and nobody else — is the coach of the national team.
After several articles which suggest that De Villiers was not in control of the World Champions but it was either run by senior players, or by the assistant coaches, the Bok mentor moved swiftly to dispel any doubts about who is in charge.
Further in the article there is no indication that he believes he need new helpers. His loyalty to Dick and Gary will cost him.
“I am the coach but I do listen to players who have played in close to 100 tests and won every trophy there is to win in rugby. It has brought us success and I don’t recall this being a criticism last year. I am not threatened by this talk — after all, I went to France to fetch John (Smit) back.
I’m so sick and tired of this whole PDV fight…can’t you guys move on?
Pumas now playing better rugby, but WP’s defence is rock solid
WP blocked the player coming through just now, funny what some refs allow right under their nose.
Another try Pieter Louw
WP 42 / 3
Penalty Pumas, 10m from WP line… they kick out
WP now makes a heap of replacements
Try by Shaun Venter for the Pumas
Try Van Jaarsveld for Pumas
At least this smaller unions show us how to break the great defense of WP
@ grootblousmile:Yesss…..comman Puma’s….you can do it 🙂
