Sorry, I feel unclean now!!!
Sharks 18 / 13
@ grootblousmile:
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Lank was a word that was used by those we thought were below us in social ranking when i was younger lol like those ruff and tuff from the Bluff AND Pinetown.
It’s fair to say the Sharks have the lions share of possession… pun intended
@ grootblousmile:
thats a given 🙂
@ grootblousmile:
Before you ask, Famous Grouse and Soda.
73@ Loosehead:
Ooooo, ‘n hoenertjie en borrelwater….
@ JockBok:
lololololol good.
@ Treehugger:
I am neither from The Bluff, nor Pinetown. 😆
@ Treehugger:thanks hugs….I decided to ignore out it-security and just installed sopcast on my company laptop….hope they don’t find out, but hey, I’m leaving them in 2 months….what’s the worst they can do? 🙂
I can now watch the game…..go LIONS!!!!! lol
good thing Waylon knocked that ball forward, our defence was awefull.
Leeus is uit op hul voete van al daardie duikslae, daarom maak hul basiese foute op die aanval.
@ bos_otter:
am really happy for you.
Penalty Lions… well within the Sharks 22m area.
They go for posts, naturally
@ bos_otter:
Bloody hell and you still shout for those mangy lions after being helped by a wonderful shark person. Ungratefull brat.
Sharks 18 / 16
Hooter goes for Lemoenetyd, and Jano punts the ball out
@ Loosehead:
I know, you from the mines in Welkom, where people drive around the circles all the time cos there is nothing to do.
We know thats the reason you moved to cape Town, suppose anywhere is better that Welkom lolol
Sharks sal bekommerd wees dat hul net 2 punte voor is. Leeus doen goed, maar ek dink daardie laaste 15 minute gaan die bene te moeg wees om te keer.
@ Treehugger: yea…sorry hugs…a lions win today will make it easier for the Cheetahs 🙂
Looks like a pretty close game. Is it?
@ Treehugger:
Geez you are cruel! GO LIONS!
88@ JockBok:
Sharks are clearly the better side… but Lions has turned into a better defending team under Mitchell
