@ Puma:
Hi Puma,
Yes, our Sharks are sitting pretty on the log. I am worried that they will be overly confident tonight. If we can keep it together, play within our structures, and defend well, we should win.
bokkeeeeeeee
We won the toss, good omen.
John Smit wins the toss and decides which way to play first….
@ Snoek:
Hello Snoek, hoe gaan dit daai kant. Eish gisteraand was daar n moerawiese party by Kamogelo, heel nag geraas.
@superbul jong fs agsteman om dop te hou boom prinsloo het baie potensiaal
@ grootblousmile:
Yes hopefully in the long term the loosies playing now will benefit and it will help but I do wonder if there is maybe too much youth at a time there and how does it do their confidence when not winning, but here’s hoping it goes well. Surprised about your thoughts on Adams whenever I have seen him play I thought he was decent and just a pity for him he was around at the wrong time for him. But if you say his form had started to dip in the end maybe it was better for him to go somewhere and get more game time as he wasn’t the youngest anymore, just think that he would have been a better alternative to what we have at the moment and maybe we could have slowly blooded Snyman, maybe it would have been better for Brummer as well to play alongside him, but hey the cream always rises to the top so hopefully the guys can make the step up.
GBS ek glo met die volgende twee games gaan iemand die 120 000 ste post , post. Nog so 420 om te gaan.
Well time to observe from a distance enjoy the rugby all. Go Boks!

Jis ja hy lyk sterk, maar mens sal nou eers sien of hy die trappie hoer kan klim, hy is nou bekend en hulle counter hom nou. As hy nog aangaan en verbeter is daar n groot speler aan die kom.
Elton Jantjies het my gisteraand net so beindruk.
