@ sharky_forever:176 – I know bro, they score tries too. They a dangerous team. Not just gonna be a arm wrestle against them. We have to score tries tonight. Cause Lions will. They played superb against the Reds last week. Well they came back at em very well.
We must be at our best. NO handling errors tonight and our Lineouts must be spot on. Must win our ball there everytime. Kicks must go over. Heck we just got to do it. Hoping. Lions beat us the last time we played. Talking about during the cc not the warm-up games.
Nervous for this game now.
Maar vir wat dit saak maak dink ek die sharks gaan wen.
Can tell you one thing. The Stormers play like that against the Saders. Saders will put 50 past them. They had better get it right. Saders one hell of a team. WAY above the rest at the moment.
173: goeie vraag, wonder of hy nou ook gaan vertel hoe sleg Habana, Grant, Louw, Bekker en daai twee teletubbie stutte is ?
Maar baie (nie almal nie) Stormers ondersteuners het mos al vanoggend begin ‘party’ hou toe die Bulle verloor.
Ja, Stephen Nell, toe doen die Reds die Bulle en Stormers ‘n guns. Dankie
Nou moet die Lions net die Bulle en Stormers weer ‘n guns doen !
😀
@ Piet visagie:182 – Piet, remember your team played Sharks last week. I know you beat us but the physical brutal game we play against each other takes its toll as well. Stormers could have been tired mate. Remember Stormers play Sharks the week before they face Saders as well. That gonna be tough.
Now to the Sharks thread and I am nervous of the Lions against my team too.
@ Piet visagie:
piet read what i have said boet , and i dont take the lions lightly , however i did say sory to you , but if you cant take that ??? not more i can say
Oh shyte, what’s this, groundhog day for SA rugby 🙁
Just as well I was busy today, and didn’t have time watch any of this…….
