    Ja, Os het vandag verseker sy salaris verdien. Interessant genoeg, so ‘n jaar gelede het Stuart Barnes ‘n artikel geskry genaamd “The myth of the big SA prorp”. Van dag sy woorde gesluk.

    Ek is bly Snorrie het vir Morné op gelos vandag en nie gesub nie, hy was mooi koel en kalm vandag… net daai 1 strafskop en 1 vervyfskop van die kantlyn af gemis… maar sy taktiese skopwerk was uit die boonste rakke.

    Congratulations to the Boks….

    We (English) threw away our chance again……

    I have to say I did not know why so many of you were gloom and doom about the Boks and their possibility of success, I even changed my superBru because so many of you were convinced that they would loose again this week.

    Still have to say, fancy loosing to the Scots!! 🙂
