    @ Pietman:252 – Piet, You never know. It could be. Still plenty of big games to play.

    rom tom tom die cheetahs kom

  • 274

    267: dit is wat so lekker is om in ‘n Bul te wees: as ons die CB weer wen, met hierdie b-span van ons se hulp, hoera, dan lyk dinge nog goed ook vir die toekoms.

    As ons nie die semi’s maak nie, het ons ‘n goeie verskoning.

    By die Bulle wen ons altyd, al verloor ons ook ! 😀

    What a good game despite being scrappy sometimes.
    If those woosies from Heineken Cup played in these Currie Cup games they would vrek.
    My prediction was wrong…well done Cheetahs.

    @ Snoek:261 – Snoek thanks. Thought it was 4.

  • 281

    @ grootblousmile:GBS…jou boytjies het mooi gespeel vandag….soveel talent in SA rugby, dis net nie waar nie. As jy na games soos die kyk, dan kan jy nie help wonder waar het dinge so verkeerd geloop met die bokke nie. Anyway….good luck met volgende naweek se game….ek weet die Vrystaat gaan elke greintjie luck nodig he om teen die sharkies te wen, maar ons speel in De’bin so hopelik sal al daai exrta suurstof die Cheetahs meer vuma gee

    Go Cheetahs!!!!

    @ bdb:
    Daarsy man, dit is mos nou die regte attitude.

  • 283

    Ctahs het gewen omdat hul meer gefokus en afgerond was. Meer honger vir die wen en het dit verdien.

    Bulle het gesukkel, het baie meer van hul terugkerende bokke verwag. Nr.10-12 by Bulle groot probleem as WO nie daar is nie. Bulle sal moet plan maak daar.

  • 284

    @ Puma: hey buddie….next week it’s between your and my team…good luck and may the best team win 🙂

  • 285

    Hougie’s been quite solid again tonight….love the bloke. Real talent

  • 289

    I am off to work, cheers all. Enjoy!

  • 290

    @ bos_otter:284 – Bos, Looking forward to it. Yip may the best team win. Hope it is as good as this game was. Maybe some tired and sore bodies after this game from both sides.

  • 291

    @ Loosehead:289 – Cheers Loosehead. Don’t work too hard..hehehe.

    Can’t imagine working on a Saturday night.

  • 292

    @ Puma: wishfull thinking 🙂 one week is more that enough for a freetstate farmboy to recover….gie gie gie 🙂 Going to be a cracker. Can’t wait tbh. What’s the Sharks record against the Tah’s at De’Bin like?

  • 293

    I thought Juandre Kruger was good tonight, so too Van Velze…. and apart from 1 tight head conceded the Bulls scrum was maybe a bit better than that of the Staat.

    Hougie was good.

    Jacques-Louis Potgieter and Watermeyer is where the Bulls problem lay….

    On Staat side, Ashley Johnson, Adriaan Strauss and Hennie Daniller had huge games, their backs defended well.

    @ Puma:
    hOWZIT pUMA, DID U WATCH IN uMHLANGA…NICE DAY THERE? oops caps

  • 295

    Ok guys, i bid you farewell. Won’t join you next weekend, due to other commitments. Puma, you should keep our name high without me, and remember that the other blokes will have their knives in for you because your team is doing so well.

    Cheers

  • 296

    As Bulle gly teen Leeus ook, kan Kwasse ook by hul verby skuif.

    OK Bulle, dit is nou spannend genoeg, julle kan nou bietjie wakker skud, voor dit dalk te laat word.

  • 297

    Ok manne en manninne, ek waai eers…..gaan nou marrag se oorskiet beesstert op stampmielies eet met n moosa glas Merlot van Durbanville Hills se kelders, tjeers Loosie, mooi gespeel julle manne.
