@ Puma:
Not yet. Will try to do it if i get the time.
@ The-Pill:151 – Try it. That was my highlight of that holiday. Awesome. Was on the river for two hours. Great stuff.
Grats Puma’s …you guys must be over the moon!!…
wat n beflokte stadion,nee wat hulle moet daar bly
Bulls ratings:
Front row… not bad, Dean Greyling carried the ball well, Maku saved a try and ran the ball up well, Werner Kruger was tackled back a few times
Locks… Steenkamp did well, Kruger carried the ball well, Fudge tried hard
Loosies… Kuun is not Steggies, that much is clear and with his last penalty he gave away he shot the Bulls late chances to ribbons. CJ Stander was OK, just carries the ball too upright. Dewald Potgieter did EXTREMELY well at No 8
Pumas pack did extremely well.
Scrummie…. DustBIN Jinka was average and Ruan Snyman did not add much either
Flyhalf…. Francois Brummer was just plain blerrie kaksleg, Jacques-Louis Potgieter was better in distributing the ball but 2 very crucial missed attempts to posts cost the Bulls the game.
Centres… Wynand carried the ball well but was nothing extra special, Jaco Pretorius was ordinary.
Wings… What a disapointing game from Shadow and Groepes is very raw and often takes the wrong options.
Fullback… a nothing game from Zane, no real spark, not a game you expect from a Bok.
vrystaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
@ Loosehead: lol Loosehead…
Well Done pumas Great stuff makes CC more interesting when a “weaker ” team beats the bully boys 🙂
