@ Blue Bird:
Were you here? How come I never knew?
fantasties! stormers wraak geneem vir die mielies.
Time is up.
Well done Stormers! A comprehensive win.
Well done Stormers and to their supporters.
Still have not seen the game, we went out from 2pm yesterday came back really late. Never saw the Bulls game either.
@ Puma: Ditto….great win for a Saffa team, luv it!
Stormers beginning to look real conttenders to bring the cup to our shores for the third time in row.
@ Pietman:Howzit Piet, Yeah Stormers are playing well.
I never saw this game or the Bulls game. Went out to friends and thought we would watch the rugby there. But there plenty others there that don’t watch rugby. So we never watched the game and I never recorded the game either. So will have to catch up with the highlights.
Piet, surely you can’t still support the Bulls boet? You grew up supporting Province. Just get back your blue and white hoop shirt and support em again. They ARE YOUR team so from now on you a Province supporter again, cause I say so…hehehe.
Would be great if we could keep the cup here Piet. But those Saders are looking brilliant as well. For now it looks between Saders and Stormers.
With the Sharks/Saders game. National anthems will be sung today. Jeepers they making this into a big thing hey!
Wonder if Saders will do the haka?
@ Puma:
A bet is a bet bro’! I promised Superbul when he was down at my place on holiday three years ago that I would turn to a Bulls’ fan if Luke was ever chosen to captain WP….and here I am, as blue as gets, without hoops 🙁
@ Pietman:
“..as blue as it gets..”, the only ‘blue sheep’ in my WP family.
@ Puma:
Cheers, talk laters, quick lunch break (kapsa :charcoal grilled chicken on yellow spiced rice with salad, no wine…eishh!)
GOOOOO SHAAAAARKS !!!!!!
@ Pietman:69 – Piet, I think in your heart you are a Province supporter. So for me you are.
So gonna say this to you. Well done TO YOUR STORMERS. Cause they ARE YOUR team boeta. You have to support them. You grew up supporting them. From now on you once again a Stormer. Okay? 🙂
@ Pietman:
71 – Cheers Piet. Hope my Sharks can. But those Saders are playing brilliant rugby.
Catch up later.
@ Pietman:71 – Make more of that Champers I told you about….hehehe.
Cheers Piet.
