    @ Puma:
    Hi Puma, thought you would be a bit under pressure in the club house!! As the Lions seemed to be scoring points up to half time!

    @ grootblousmile:20 – gbs, Damn club house was so LOUD could hardly hear what the heck Deysel went off for. Knew it was a injury, but heck man hope it is not serious.

    @ Blue Bird:216 – BB, No knew we had the big guns. Though must say the Lions are playing better than in the S14. They must stick with the kiwi coach. Knew we would pull away. Was worried when Deysel went off. I knew it was a injury but noise in the club was loud. So was not sure. We need him for the rest of the CC so hoping it is not serious. Kanko must have been drafted to train with the Boks as Alberts was on at 8. He was very good there. Keegan filled in really well too, but he is in-form all season.

    @ Blue Bird:216 – Blue Bird, Thinking of coming over to Scotland in Novemeber for about 3 weeks. Maybe have some business first in London for a week. Well that is my plan for now. If that is the case will see if Boks are playing anything when I am there.
