    @ bdb:
    Hahaha jy ken jou rugby 😆

    Lambie is the real thing, give him to me a million times before Frans Steyn.

  • 4

    @ superBul:
    I would rather have Morne Steyn in my team now. Lambie needs to work on some aspects of his game, he’s really talented but he’ll never be a natural kicker like Morne, and Frans who won’t easily get pinned down in their own halves. Morne was out of sorts in the semi, but on any other day would have the Sharks pinned in their own 22 for the whole game.

    bdb they are taking their time feeding the guests , i hate it when they stay quiet about the time when the awards really starts.

    @ vanStraaten:
    I agree with you, i made that comment after i heard how mature he answers the questions in the interview.

    5: ekskuus, wat het jy gesê ? 😀

    Hulle vat seker so lank om al die WP ouens kos te gee … deur strooitjies … nadat die Sharks so oor hul gehardloop het en hul ‘getackle’ het dat jy net strepe sien spat …

    4: VS, MS was skitterend laasjaar, hierdie jaar was hy goed, maar nie op sy beste nie. Ek weet nie of hy onder instruksies speel nie maar hy skop alles in die lug in, in plaas van om soos ou Naas in die hoekies te skop. Ek is nie teen slim skop nie, maar hierdie jaar se doellose skoppery, van veral die Bulle, het my allergies gemaak vir skop, hul oordoen dit, van 0/19’s tot senior span.

    Hoop dit gaan beter met hierdie toer en volgende jaar se superrugby. Ironies genoeg was MS ‘n hardlopende losskakel, nou is hy meer ‘n skoppende losskakel. As hy die twee kan kombineer, gaan hy dodelik wees.

    8: bdb – Morne was puik in die Super 14 die jaar. Kom die Drie Nasies en die manne het te veel rugby gespeel net soos Tim Noakes al laas seisoen gese het. Ek vind die Bulle wat nou afgeskryf word ‘n grap. Fourie du Preez speel ‘n groot rol vir ons, maar ons het meer as genoeg talent om bo te bly.

    Ek dink vir die Bokke was Heinrich Brussow wat uit is, en Fourie du Preez die doodskote in die Drie Nasies. Persoonlik verstaan ek nie die hype oor flou Louw en al die WP kak nie. Hulle is eenvoudig nie goed genoeg nie. Ons het twee fetchers in Suid Afrika, en dis Stegmann, en Brussow.

    Schalk, en Flo het Saterdag basically die WP agterlyn doodgemaak. Hulle het hoeveel keer vir Schalk op first receiver gehad wat doeloos dom in die muur in storm.

    Tussen die kandidate wat almal op hoer vlak presteer het is die een die lagwekendste. En ek like Elton baie. Dis net wie hy uitgestof het wat my laat wonder.
